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:"This car runs WELL and is super reliable, but the inside has plenty of wear. Has a dent on the right rear side, seats have some wear and tear, tail light has minor cracks, passenger side door only unlocks / locks from the outside, A/C needs freon, upper roof upholstery is pretty so-so, wiper blades have become a little slow, washer fluid no longer squirts out, there is wear and tear on the inside of the hatchback area, and the hatchback area carpet is just so-so. So the car definitely has some minor annoyances, but overall this car is super-solid, mechanically. It was my every-day driver for almost ten years, and I think it's still ready to be an every-day driver. Even with the flaws I mention, if you look at the pictures of the insides, it still looks overall decent and clean. The hood is slightly sun-scorched, but nothing terrible at all. Cleaned up, this car still looks sharp. As far as rust, there is only a very tiny spot of rust along the bottom of the front windshield."

I am the third owner. Before me, an old lady almost never drove it, then a tug boat captain bought it and continued to take great care of it. So most of the wear you see came from me, as I used the car for work in the movie business for almost a decade. If you happen to be a fan of the TV show "The Office," you would probably want to know that this car can be seen in the parking lot all the time in seasons 3-5.

I will only accept cash or postal money orders. After auction end, we can meet up in a grocery parking lot or something and I will take you for a spin, before we finalize the deal.

Great car. With some love, it should still have a lot of life left in it. Good luck!

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
