I am selling this car for a friend. The car is sitting in his backyard. Several years ago, I think 2-3 but possibly longer, he took this to the auto body shop and had some engine work done on it. At that time he was told that, "THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE." Ever since it has sat in his backyard. Therefore, this car is being sold AS-IS, and anyone that wants it will have to bring a truck or trailer and tow or remove it from the yard. Under no circumstance will this car be able to be or be allowed to be driven off the property. 9/7/2013: I've called the autobody shop and they didn't maintain any records as to where the damage or the rusting out to the frame was, so I can't pinpoint that information for prospective buyers.

9/7/2013: The battery on this car was dead and wouldn't hold a charge. I can't tell you whether the engine would start right up without a new battery, and I can't say whether there is gas in the tank--which would be over 3 years old. These are items you will have to resolve upon transporting the car to your location.

That said, this was the last year they made the Nissan 280ZX. After 1983, Nissan made the nasty 300ZX, which looked like a cross between a yard Jart and a Mazda. The 280ZX had style and class, and this is what you will be trying to restore back into this car, provided the frame can be replaced and/or repaired. Like is said, this is a strip it down and rebuild it to its former glory kind of project. 9/7/2013: The passenger side front fender is rusted, as pictured, but this car comes with a replacement fender from the owner's last attempt to revitalize the car (see photo). These are not easy to come by on this 30-year old car, and not cheap either.

Guaranteed to have a clear title, or if necessary a rebuild or salvage title. The person I am selling this for is a local official, so you will leave with the car and title--or not at all. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO GO DOWN TO THE COURTHOUSE AND EXCHANGE TITLE, YOU WILL NOT LEAVE WITH THE CAR. No taking care of it later.

Please contact me with any questions. I live about 5 minutes from the car. Please review the pictures. They are fairly representative, although they were taken a season ago. Contact for updated pictures and information, and if you are in the area, then by al means please feel free to make an appointment with me to see the car in person--I highly recommend it.

I will update the auction with as much information as I can, as it becomes available to me.

2021 Hyundai Elantra vs. compact sedans | How they compare on paper

Wed, Mar 18 2020

Despite the rising popularity of crossovers, the sedan market remains packed and fiercely competitive. It looks like it will stay that way with the introduction of the strikingly redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra. And since Hyundai was kind enough to provide plenty of specifications on the new car, we figured we ought to see how it stacks up to some of the latest and greatest small sedans on the market. For this comparison we picked the two best-sellers, the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, one of the other recently redesigned sedans, the Nissan Sentra, and a perennial enthusiast favorite, the Mazda3. Below you'll find a chart with all the raw numbers for your perusal. Following that will be our usual break down and analysis of the numbers and any other noteworthy features not included in the chart. Performance and Fuel Economy While the design and chassis are all-new on the Elantra, the base powertrain isn't. It uses a version of the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder shared throughout the Hyundai and Kia line-ups, and it's again paired with a CVT. With 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, it's the second least powerful entry for conventionally-powered sedans, only ahead of the sluggish 1.8-liter base engine in the Toyota Corolla. For those looking for a peppy small sedan, the Mazda3's naturally aspirated 2.5-liter has the most power and torque, even ahead of the turbocharged Honda Civic's 174 ponies. On the other hand, the Elantra, which Hyundai says will have better fuel economy than the outgoing model, should get at least 36 mpg combined, and probably better, making it the most efficient non-hybrid of this group. For the best blend of power and efficiency, the Civic is likely the way to go, as its turbo engine can return 36 mpg combined in lower trims. If you want a manual transmission in this body shape, only the Civic and Corolla offer it. A manual transmission is available on the Mazda3 hatchback, and the turbo Civic can also be had with a manual in hatchback or Si forms. A new powertrain for the Elantra is the hybrid. It's unique compared to other hybrids in that it's coupled to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, rather than an electronically controlled CVT (which is not the same thing as a CVT) or something too complicated to describe in this sentence (the Honda Insight).

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt have best sales month of 2015

Tue, Jun 2 2015

Things are trending upwards for the two best-selling plug-in vehicles in the US. Both the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf had their best sales month of 2015 in May, with the Volt selling 1,618 units and the Leaf moving 2,104. The upward swings come at an interesting time, with lots of excess first-gen Volts waiting for buyers and some buyers already ordering their second-gen Volts. So far in 2015, the Leaf has outsold the Volt 7,742 to 4,397. While 7,700 Leafs is respectable, it's nowhere near the numbers that Nissan will have to hit to reach the 50,000 annual sales that CEO Carlos Ghosn says is possible in the US. Still, the Leaf had its best sales month since December 2014 (when it sold 3,102 units) in May, but last month was still down 32.5 percent compared to May 2014. Despite the smaller overall number, May represents a big positive for Chevy, which has seen sluggish sales for the Volt for a long while now. The 1,618 Volts sold last month are only 3.9 percent lower than the 1,684 sold in May 2014 and May 2015 was the best month for Volt sales since August 2014. Perhaps salesmen are ready to make deals, what with thousands sitting around on dealer lots right now. The next-gen Volt is due this fall, and the order books (in California, at least) opened up this week. Like every month, our full wrap-up of green car sales in the US is coming soon (the VW e-Golf, for example, hit a best-ever high of 410 sales). Until then, feel free to discuss the Volt and Leaf sales figures in the Comments. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales hybrid sales
