1996 Nissan Maxima Gxe Sedan 4-door 3.0l - Very Clean!! No Reserve!! on 2040-cars

Year:1996 Mileage:119944
Location:

You are bidding on a 1996 Nissan Maxima GXE with a well-maintained 119k miles.  The engine is very strong and peppy with decent gas mileage as you would expect in the mid-20’s.  The transmission shifts 100% through all gears.  The oil has just been changed.  A/C blows cold.  Power windows function properly.  The paint is in great shape.  There is a dent in the rear quarter panel (pictured) from a fallen tree branch. The interior has minimal staining and cleans up very well.  The seats and carpet are in great shape.  Tires have about 60% tread left.  Brakes and rotors are also in very good shape. 

Issues to address: The power antenna doesn't function properly. The radio works but it the antenna must but engaged manually; The leather boot around the parking break is worn (pictured).; Somehow, somewhere, I lost a hubcap?!?! (pictured) 

Mechanically, the car is in great shape and will need very little. I don't want to set the expectation that it is perfect but it is in better than average condition.

Overall, this is a solid little car with years of service left for the next owner. 

This vehicle is being offered for sale “AS-IS” because of year and miles.  If you are new to Ebay or if you have fewer than 4 transactions, please contact me prior to bidding for approval to bid or I will cancel your bid immediately.  There is a $125 documentation fee in addition to the final selling price.  A $500 non-refundable deposit is required via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close.  Transaction must be completed within 7 days of auction end (full payment and pick-up arrangements at least).  I have done my best to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible.  Once purchased, this car can be driven anywhere in the country without issue.   Contact me via email with any questions.  Please bid with confidence and good luck.

Nissan had to re-edit this commercial two times to placate Aussie ad watchdog [w/poll]

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Nissan recently aired a commercial in Australia for its Pulsar SSS hatchback - think of it as a five-door relative of our Sentra - in which a couple is seen hastily making their way to the hospital ahead of giving birth. But the ad you can watch now isn't the same ad that aired originally - in fact, Nissan had to re-edit the commercial twice before the Australian Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) would accept it.
According to Go Auto, the original ad received complaints that it depicted unsafe and reckless driving, including speeding, following cars too closely and screeching to a halt upon arriving at the hospital. One of the complaints reportedly read: "The advertisement promotes driving behavior (rapid acceleration/deceleration/changes of direction) that is counter to sound medical advice regarding the carriage of heavily pregnant women in motor vehicles."
In the first edit, Nissan lowered the vehicle's engine noise, removed the woman's speech urging the man to drive faster ("Go, go, go!") and inserted a disclaimer that read "Filmed under controlled conditions," according to Go Auto, but all of that still wasn't enough to appease the ASB.

2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo gets official

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Behold the 2014 Nissan GT-R as dressed by Nismo and inspired by the GT3-spec race car that competed in this year's Nürburgring 24-hour race. Called the "ultimate iteration of Nissan's GT-R supercar," power goes up by 55 horsepower to 600 hp with updates like high-flow, large diameter turbos, and torque is "over 480 pound-feet," which means it's risen by at least 35 lb-ft.
Helping to keep it right-way up and pointed in the right direction are a race-tuned suspension with a larger, hollow anti-roll bar, custom Bilstein DampTronic dampers and the use of high-rigidity bolts. Outside, a new aero package from the wider front carbon bumper to the carbon rear spoiler above a longer, tapered rear bumper creates an additional 220 pounds of downforce at 186 miles per hour compared to the standard GT-R. Rumors of a 'Ring time of 7:08 abound, we'll get the truth - and we assume some video - very soon.
The bodyshell construction uses adhesive to improve rigidity, and behind those windows are carbon fiber Recaro buckets - in Europe and Japan, at least - and an Alcantara-wrapped wheel. It goes on sale next year, but you can get to know more about it right now in the press release below.

Kaz and Shiro talk Gran Turismo 7 details, Titan Nismo and more in AMA

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

One of the greatest innovations to come about thanks to the gigantic popularity of Reddit is the Ask Me Anything (AMA) question and answer format. The AMA becomes especially worthwhile, of course, when the person(s) answering the questions have detailed information or insight on products we love.
So, in the case of the recent AMA session with Gran Turismo creator and mastermind Kazunori Yamauchi (above), and his buddy and Nissan chief designer Shiro Nakamura (right), it was basically must-read stuff.
The pair really lived up to our expectations, too, with Kaz offering a lot of useful information about the future of the Gran Turismo franchise (especially the upcoming GT7 for Playstation 4), and Shiro promising to bring some interesting new ideas back to his colleagues at Nissan.
