Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

EXTERIOR:

Rust on the very bottom of the car, on the panel below the doors (it's a Minnesota vehicle). Bumpers are a bit warped. Wax residue on the cracks/crevices of the exterior. The "Z" and "280zx" emblems are missing, except one of the "280zx" emblems is still on there.

INTERIOR:

Carpet on driver side has a big tear in it as you can see from the photo. I have mats for both sides, although the passenger side carpet is in excellent shape. The trunk liner and carpet below the trunk liner isn't in the greatest shape. There are 2 cracks in the dash cover. There is a crack on the trim around the driver side door handle. The button to reset the trip odometer is broken and does not function. The walls of the trunk, as in the vinyl is starting to come off but it's just a cosmetic issue and there's no leaking in the trunk, nor is there leaking from rain/air/whatever in any part of the interior vehicle whatsoever. The dome light does not work. The ceiling is in excellent shape as well as the rear view mirror. The flip down visors don' have mirrors on them but I don't know if they ever did.

DRIVABILITY:

Very reliable car. The only issue I had was with it starting in the winter and once I replaced the battery with a red top, I had no issues whatsoever. I just had the ignition switch replaced so the it starts right up and it idles beautifully. I just had the oil changed within the last 50-100 miles and I've changed the oil on it every 3-4k miles. There's no power steering, no airbags, and this is not due to lack of maintenance, the car rolled out of the factory without those things. There are crank windows. There are no power locks or power seats. It is a 5 speed manual. It does not slip out of gear. The brakes might need to be checked out. Regular pedal braking is fine but the e-brake seems to not hold as well as it should. I get anywhere from 17 to 22 miles to the gallon. It takes premium, and non oxygenated is preferred. The A/C and heat work, and I've had it serviced but it only gets so cold.

HISTORY:

I had a few things replaced, like the temperature sensor which was bad and was forcing my car to dump more fuel than needed. That was fixed and it's been good since. Had the wheels balanced because the steering wheel used to shake and that's no longer an issue. There is an MP3/CD head unit in there with quality speakers but no amp or subwoofer.

The mileage is 75XXX miles to the best of my knowledge. That is what the previous owner told me however the odometer only has 5 digits, so for the buyer, it might as well mean 975,000 miles. There is no carfax history report since there isn't a VIN. I've never gotten into an accident with this car and I put about 15k miles on it.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for looking!

Worker killed at Nissan Tennessee plant

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

A worker has died at the Nissan assembly plant in Smyrna, TN following an accident. According to The Detroit News, the tragedy happened Thursday and involved a large electric panel that fell while it was being moved. The victim was not a Nissan employee, he was a worker for Michigan-based supplier Complete Automation.
Nissan has not released the name of the deceased, but has vowed to cooperate with the authorities investigating the accident. The Murfreesboro Post notes that this is the second death at the plant in recent years - in 2012, a transport truck driver was killed after his rig rolled forward, crushing him between his cab and trailer.

Nissan Murano production fires up in America for first time [w/video]

Fri, 07 Nov 2014

Production of the new, third-generation Nissan Murano has finally kicked off at the company's Canton, MS factory, marking not only the eighth vehicle built on the facility's lines, but also the first global product to be built there since it opened in 2003.
"The strategic investments that Nissan has made in Canton serve as a testament to the flexibility, efficiency and talent of our workforce and suppliers," said John Martin, Nissan's boss for manufacturing, supply chain management and purchasing. "In Canton, we build high-quality vehicles that compete and win globally, and the bold new Murano will build on that reputation."
The addition of Murano production, which joins Altima, Armada, Titan, Frontier, Xterra and NV, brought a further 1,300 jobs.

Nissan says next Rogue coming September 10

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

The Nissan Rogue has been around since 2007, and after nearly seven years on the market, it's about due for replacement. Which is just what Nissan has announced is coming up next down the pipeline.
The Japanese automaker didn't reveal much to go with this teaser image of the headlight and front fender, saying only that "the all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue will push the envelope of CUV design starting on September 10 when it is unveiled." That's the day on which the Frankfurt Motor Show opens its doors for press previews, so it's pretty safe to say that we'll be seeing it at the Messe.
The news follows the spy shots we brought you two weeks ago. Expect the design to follow the lead set forth by the Hi-Cross concept from Geneva last year, with production to take place in Tennessee.
