Condition: UsedA 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.Seller Notes:"engine runs but runs rough. driver side door won't open. passenger side door won't close. muffler functional but held in place by a chain saw chain and u-bolts. there is one tiny hole on it that looks like corrosion eat-through. I assume the welding tacks or brackets that originally held it in place gave way. rear window defroster nonfunctional. heater works up to 3rd highest setting but fails at highest heat level. the folding/locking connector for the right rear pop-out window is broken off. the top of the dashboard is severely sun-damaged. the upholstery in the backseat is severely damaged. there is soot on the passenger seat. the driver's seat has always been kept covered by a protector so it is in better shape. the battery is dead and the front fastener that keeps the battery in it's tray is corroded away. the engine starts easily enough when I use a jump-start battery to start it. the burgundy (color of red wine) exterior paint is worn off. non-factoryair-conditioner not working."

I am the sole owner since I bought it newly manufactured in 1983. it did not have a factory installed air conditioner so when I bought it I had them add an air conditioner. over the years it failed 2 or 3 times and I had it fixed but I stopped fixing it. I assume all the old parts of that are still there. it has never been in a major wreck. the only minor wreck I remember is when someone hit my car in a parking lot when I wasn't there. there was a big dent in the panel back left from the drivers side. I think the panel was replaced.  about 5 years after I bought it the front axle melted and Nissan paid to replace it. I guess it didn't get greased although I took it in to the dealer for its post buy maintenance.  the clutch has been replaced a few times, I ride it I suppose.  I replaced the entire engine at around 79000 miles. sorry, I don't remember the exact mileage, don't have any record. point being the overall car has 193k on it but the engine doesn't.  tires have a lot of tread left on them (see pictures). the last maintenance activity I did back in 09 when I stopped using it was for the brake pads and discs to be replaced so they should be good for another 20k.  I find I prefer to try to sell it to someone who'll keep it, refurbish it, rather than just junk it. it's a trooper, it's hauled me around for over 25 years. in this state that makes it an antique, you can get an antique plate for it and drive it around in those antique car rallies (I think. as far as I know).  it has a manual transmission and it is small and maneuverable. in my opinion it's more fun to drive than a car with an automatic transmission. there are some small dings on the outside in additions to the paint being off but nothing I would call a 'dent'.  I used to smoke cigarettes but I didn't for that last 10+ years I had it.  I had a temporary contract up in Minnesota for 9 months. I used this car then and I had it proofed against snow-salt. i.e. many of the interior vacancies inside the body were squirted full of some substance to stop rust and a paint-on/spray-on treatment was given to the undercarriage to resist salt.  As far as I know it doesn't have any salt damage.  the old highway mileage for this car used to be 50-55 but that anti-salt treatment lowered that I'm sure. as did age.  I have a replacement certificate of title which applies to the car now.  I had the original title and I bet I still DO have it but I can't find it. a couple years ago I decided to sell and had to get my title reissued but wound up not selling.  I bought this vehicle with cash and there were Never any liens or debts or what-have-you on it.  I also have 1 of the original keys which i found a couple days ago...and promptly lost again. I got summoned for jury duty and I wound up shuffling a lot of objects around before I went in. that key got lost in the move-it-all activity.  if I can find that key before pickup you can have it of course. I have 2 copy keys which work.

You pay for any shipping expenses although I assume it'll be someone local who shows up to get it.

Nissan IDX production model to get sharper, less retro styling

Sat, 23 Aug 2014

The Nissan IDx seems like the type of concept that auto enthusiasts wish they could be driving. With a compact size, style inspired by the classic Datsun 510 and a rear-wheel-drive powertrain, it certainly ticks many of the boxes that people want. Unfortunately, the car seems to be miles away from actually getting a green light for production, but rumors about the retro coupe's future keep cropping up.
The last we heard about the IDx, the biggest complication with the coupe was that it was a tough project to make profitable. Nissan didn't have a cheap enough rear-wheel drive platform to make the affordable coupe work. The latest rumors point to a potential solution to this problem. According to Motoring from Australia speaking to an insider close to Nissan, the new plan is to tweak the styling to be less retro and adapt the car to work on the platform for the forthcoming, next-generation Z car.
The new look reportedly cribs from the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept from the 2014 Detroit Motor Show, including its floating roof design and sharper edges around the fenders. In terms of power, the source tells Motoring, the IDx could use a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with around 180 horsepower on tap. That might not sound like too much, but remember the Z car itself is rumored to get smaller and lighter when it's new generation hits the stage. If the weight is low enough, potentially using it for the IDx might just work.

Sebastien Vettel testing Infiniti's production Etherea?

Thu, 30 May 2013

It sounds like Sebastian Vettel has had his hands full recently, juggling his Formula One racing career while moonlighting as the newly appointed director of performance at Infiniti. On that latter note, Autocar is reporting that Vettel has been testing a production version of the Etherea Concept at France's Circuit Paul Ricard.
There is still no word as to when we could see this car go into production or what it will be called (possibly the Q30), but it will likely share a platform with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class as a part of the Daimler/Renault-Nissan collaboration. The article also said that this future entry-level Infiniti would be produced at Nissan's Sunderland, UK plant.

Nissan gives a better look at its Vision Gran Turismo concept

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Just the other day, Nissan released an image showing all of its cars you can drive in Gran Turismo, with one little mystery hiding in the bottom right corner: a draped shape with the date June 10, 2014 - suggesting that it would reveal its Vision Gran Turismo on that date. Well, if you look at that calendar you'll realize that June 10 came and went yesterday, and Nissan didn't reveal the car.
As it turns out, what the folks at Nissan meant when they indicated June 10 was that they'd release the next teaser on that date, and that's what we have here. The teaser hints at one menacing-looking futuristic chunk of virtual performance meta, but "the next chapter" won't be revealed until next week on Monday, June 16. At that point we hope Nissan will actually reveal the full thing and not another teaser, but one way or another the finished product is expected to be present in the flesh (or sheet metal) for the Goodwood Festival of Speed at the end of the month.
