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!

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.

Nissan e-NV200 EV charges into Tokyo

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

Nissan has already shown its e-NV200 in Detroit and Frankfurt in conceptual form, now its home market is getting an up-close look at the production all-electric compact van at the Tokyo Motor Show. While it doesn't sound like the e-NV200 will be making its way to the US anytime soon, it will go on sale on sale in Europe in the middle of next year and in Japan by early 2015.
The electric NV200 will be built in Barcelona, Spain, and while that EV-minded city has committed to using the van for public transportation, Nissan's hometown of Yokohama, Japan will also put the zero-emission vehicle to work in its public services fleet. Nissan has yet to reveal the production specs for the e-NV200 - including range - we do know that it will share much of its drivetrain with smaller Nissan Leaf. Check out the press release posted below for more information about the e-NV200 and Nissan's EV efforts in Yokohama.

Gran Turismo vs reality as Red Bull pro-gamer takes on Nismo pro racer

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

The last time we saw a real racing driver pitted against a professional gamer, Viagame threw one of each in a Renault Megane RS and the contest was staged as the pro driver navigated the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. That could be seen as a handicap for the gamer, since he's got to get his drive on while dealing with all sorts of unfamiliar G-force sensations that are out of time with what he's doing. Even so, the gamer won.
Nismo has taken its turn, running almost the same contest at Silverstone in the UK. This time, though, it has put its GTAcademy Driver and pro driver Wolfgang Reip in a car by himself, while Red Bull pro gamer Erik Leštach gets to play Gran Turismo 6 safely locked down in the pits. With each driver in his chosen milieu, the game is afoot.
You can find out who won by watching the video below, and for a chance to win something yourself, Nismo will send a box of goodies to whomever guesses the winning time in the video's comments on YouTube.
