Ok this is the story........

This was my sister's truck.

My sister leased this truck in December of 2005 out of Los Angeles, California.....title actually says Hollywood California.....

When her lease was up, she bought the truck.....she loves this truck....she actually is sick about selling it and doesn't even want me to talk about it...

I had the same truck except it was a 2001.....she loved that truck so much that she went and got the same truck except is was a 2005.

She and her friends would go snowboarding in the mountains...Bear Mountain I believe it is called. It is for that reason she added the hard cover, lockabletonneau cover....they could lock their snowboards in there....

My sister is 100 lbs.....the front seat is like it has never been sat in.....

The reason the truck has 150,000 miles on it is because she lived in California. To drive a hundred miles a day in that city is nothing.....anyone who has experience in California knows that everything is 40 miles away...

She also worked for Universal Studios and in the movie business they take off the last two weeks of the year....

She and her boyfriend.....now husband would get in the car every Christmas break and drive cross country to Columbus, Ohio for the holidays and then drive back to LA to go back to work.

In 2011 she was accepted to Ohio State for graduate school so she moved back to Columbus to live with my parents while she finished school. I drove the truck from LA to Columbus while her and her husband drove the moving truck......it drove 80 miles an hour across the country driving with my pinky finger......it is as smooth as they get....

While the car was in Columbus it was parked in my parents garage when it was not in use.....

My point here is that this truck lived in California all of its life until 2011 when it went to Ohio and was garaged.....when you look at the pictures you will see.....it is MINT......no salt....no damages from the harsh Ohio weather.....no rust whatsoever.......it is a California car...

You will not find a car in this shape in Ohio unless you are buying it Brand New......

The truck is immaculate and in Perfect Running Condition....

Ok....so that is the back story......here is the story of the service that has been done...

It has been kept in perfect running condition its whole life....here is the service that has been done...

The 2003,2004,2005 Nissan Fronteirs, Xterras, and Pathfinders all had the same automatic transmissions and that being said.....all the same transmission problem...

The automatic transmission in this truck is cooled by the radiator.....there was a flaw in the system where basically a seal would give way and the transmission fluid and the anti-freeze would mix and slowly kill the transmission....

My understanding was that Nissan tried to sweep this under the rug as much as possible because it was usually only happening well after 100,000 miles......they fixed the design flaw in the 2006 and newer models.....

Well at 140,000 my sister's transmission went and that is how we found out about this situation.....

My sister being a student right now didn't have the money to fix it and decided to lease a cheap car..

I knew what kind of shape this truck was in and that it was worth fixing.....so I bought it from her....I decided to put the money into to make it perfect again simply because it was in such pristine condition.

This is what I did.....

I had the truck towed by flatbed to Ben at Enhanced Transmissions in Cleveland.....Ben is the best in the city.....he is a race car mechanic that specializes in transmissions.....he was well aware of the problem Nissan had with these model years and had rebuilt many of these transmissions....

He completely rebuilt the transmission and installed the updates that Nissan made to correct the problem....so the transmission is completely rebuilt and works flawlessly......he also said he would transfer the warranty as long as he is the only one who works on the truck if there are ever any problems for 25,000 miles or two years...

So, it has a brand new transmission.....

Then, the gas gauge was not working.....the sensor was on the fuel pump....I could have just fixed that and called it a day, but while we were in there I figured the fuel pump is original...we might as well replace it...so we did

So...it has a brand new fuel pump....

Next, the engine light was on......can't pass the AIM test in Cleveland with that right?......So, the diagnostic tests showed it had bad catalytic converters.....so I replaced them....they are brand new....no engine light now....

So, it has brand new catalytic converters.....

Next, the CD player was broken......so I pulled the whole stereo......replaced it with a brand new Pioneer from Best Buy.....Geek Squad installed........it has blue-tooth so that you can answer your phone through the stereo and play songs from your phone......it also has a remote control for tailgating...and a 3.5 mm jack so that you can plug it directly into your phone....it is brand new.....about a week old....

So, it has a brand new stereo, with blue-tooth....it is mint...

Tires? They are brand new as you will see in the pictures.....my sister bought them less than 6 months ago...

Ok....what about the timing chain? It was replaced at 95,000 miles......she was paranoid and decided to have it done even though she was having no problems.......her mechanic replaced it, but said that once he got in there, there was nothing wrong with it....but it has been done so you can cross that one off your list...

So, timing chain was done recently.....

How is the interior? Like no one has really ever sat in it.....look at the pictures....it is beautiful....

Ok so how is the motor? Well it is the 270 horse power V-6, has had regular oil changes and quite frankly runs like a bat out of hell......

I drove it home the other day from the car wash and I looked down and had no idea that I was going 90 miles an hour....it is as smooth as my Cadillac.....

It is also tough not to peel out from stop lights because it simply has so much power......270 horses is a lot of motor for that truck.....it is FAST...

Brakes? Work perfectly.....

4 wheel drive? Works perfectly.....

Tow hitch......Has it....you will see it in the pictures.....

Ok, so I did all the updates and work on this very, very clean truck.....and I am thinking about keeping it to be honest.....but if I am going to part with it....

I want $14,500....I am pretty firm on this price with all I have listed above.....low ballers, don't waste your time....I will keep it...

You simply will not find this truck in Cleveland unless you buy it brand new.....and that will cost you around $35,000 out the door....

It has never towed anything......never hauled a load of dirt or rocks......never plowed snow......it has had a pretty easy life...

Whoever gets this truck is going to be very happy and need to do absolutely nothing to this truck.....it is in Perfect Running Condition....leaks Nothing......No Dash Lights Are On....ITS IS MINT! 

You can look at a video on you tube at ......................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEJEVYbvnLY

Also e-mail me with any questions and I will get back to you promptly......

Thank you for your time.

RC car drift video brings Fast and Furious style in 1:10 scale

Mon, Apr 13 2015

Taking a cue from Lexus' 2015 Super Bowl ad Let's Play, Falken Tire is proving that RC cars can drift just as well, if not better, than their full-size counterparts. However, to make things four times as exciting, this clip eschews a single hopped-up model hanging its tail out in favor of a quartet of them sliding around together. Starring 1:10 RC versions of popular drift machines like the Nissan S15 Silvia, Mazda FD-chassis RX-7 and Initial D star Toyota Corolla AE86, these cars also get a suite of blinking LEDs to lend some extra color to all of the tire spinning. Plus, the use of well-positioned cameras and a scale model environment almost makes this group look like they're at work in the real world.

2018 Honda Accord charges into slumping sedan market

Sat, Jul 15 2017

DETROIT - Honda on Friday revealed its newest-generation Accord, one of four re-engineered midsize sedans that Asian automakers are betting on to win market share as Detroit automakers shift focus to SUVs, crossovers, and pickup trucks. The new Accord, like rival Toyota's all-new Camry arriving this month, offers major improvements in fuel economy, technology, styling and safety. Honda declined to discuss details ahead of Friday's event in Detroit. The Accord and Camry are pillars of their manufacturers' US businesses, each selling well over 300,000 vehicles a year. In the coming months, Nissan is expected to launch a new Altima midsize sedan, and Hyundai will launch a new Sonata. Both are popular marques that will be promoted heavily. "There has been no new news on the midsize sedan side for three years, and we think this is a great opportunity to bring attention back to the segment," said Jack Hollis, Toyota's head of marketing for North America. Year to date, US passenger car sales are down 11.4 percent, and sales of midsize sedans are down 14.2 percent. Still, Americans bought 7.1 million sedans in 2016. With General Motors and Ford cutting sedan production, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles abandoning the segment, Honda and its Asian rivals could boost sales with updated models, dealers said. "They could take share from other brands, which is traditionally what happens when a new product is launched," said Pete DeLongchamps, vice president for manufacturer relations at Group 1 Automotive Inc, the third-largest US auto dealer group. "NOT FINDING A PLACE WITH CONSUMERS" The Accord for years was Honda's top-selling model in the United States. Within the past year, US sales of the Honda CR-V have eclipsed the aging Accord, and Honda has expanded production capacity for the compact crossover. Passenger-car sales have steadily declined since 2012, when they made up 51.2 percent of the US market. Sedans have sagged to a 38.1 percent share in the first half of this year. IHS Markit said US consumer loyalty to SUVs and pickup trucks has risen since 2012, but declined for sedans. The new Accord and Camry "may stem the decline," said IHS Markit's Tom Libby. "I don't think they will cause a marked reverse." Improvements to the Accord should boost sales at Galpin Honda in San Fernando, California, general manager Ed Hartoonian said.

Carlos Ghosn to step down as Nissan CEO on April 1

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Carlos Ghosn announced he will be stepping down as CEO of the Nissan on April 1, to be replaced by current Nissan co-CEO Hiroto Saikawa. The move comes after close to two decades of leadership and the rebuilding of a company that was close to disaster. Ghosn isn't finished with the company he helped rebuild, as he will remain on as chairman of the board and continue on as leader of the Renault-Nissan Alliance following the change of guard. In addition to running Renault-Nissan, Ghosn has taken over as chairman of Mitsubishi Motors after acquiring a 34-percent stake in 2016, a move he spearheaded. Ghosn stated, "I am confident that the management team I have developed at Nissan over the past 18 years has the talent and experience to meet the company's operational and strategic goals. Having recently taken on new responsibilities at Mitsubishi Motors, and taking into consideration the upcoming Nissan general shareholders meeting, I have decided that the time is right for Hiroto Saikawa to succeed me as Nissan's CEO." A release from Renault-Nissan said the move allows Ghosn to focus more attention on bringing together the three companies. Saikawa, his replacement, has been with Nissan since 1977 and has overseen operations in the company's markets worldwide.
