This auction is for a 1997 Nissan XE pick-up with 229,000 highway miles, auto transmission, ice cold a/c. Truck runs great, don't let the miles scare you.

Within the last year, the following parts have been replaced:

  • new radiator
  • water pump
  • all belts
  • starter
  • alternator
  • new front brake lines
  • calipers and pads (replaced 3,000 miles ago)
  • new plugs, wires, and cap
  • rear end fluid has been changed
  • transmission fluid and filter
  • has a K & N air filter
  • valve cover gasket

The bad:

  • Right front fender has some damage
  • front bumper is not straight
  • small hole on driver's side seat
  • right side over rear wheel well is rusted
  • rust hole on the inside of the bed

At times, the check engine light comes on, but goes off in a day or so. Also, at start up, it makes a rattle noise. I was told it was timing chain guides are worn.

Oil has been changed every 3,000 miles and gets 20-23 miles per gallon. Front tires have 25,000 miles, and rears are 80% worn.  For the age of the truck, it still runs well and has plenty of life left. The windows are tinted, it has a JVC CD/Apple IPod-ready in-dash deck with detachable faceplate, a remote start , and tonneau cover.

**Please note, the stereo, remote starter, and tonneau cover will only be included with truck if reserve is met.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the truck; it will be sold as-is with no warranty.

Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.

Nissan details Craigslist 1996 Maxima restoration

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

"Luxury Defined," in the most ironic sense the galaxy has ever known, is now "Luxury Restored," in the real and incredible sense. Last September, Luke Aker made ads to sell his 1996 Nissan Maxima GLE, the YouTube version being a mix truth, bombast, a British accent and a ratchet strap. The ad tickled Nissan such that it bought the car from Akes and made a donation to a charity of his choice. Then they consulted with the citizens of the Internet to decide what to do with it, the final vote being a complete restoration and display at the company's Nashville HQ.
Friends, Netizens, countrymen, the job is done. Nicknamed "Old Glory," comparing the old car with the new is like reading one of those shelter dog rescue stories where the loving family nurses an impossibly cute pup back to health with handheld nursing sessions, baby bottles of warm milk and whispered lullabies. Only Nissan probably didn't sing to the Maxima.
The Maxima is now on display, and we hope they've hung the ratchet strap with it. You can see Aker's new video on the transformation above, plus another video and press release below detailing the Maxima's journey back to New Glory.

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
