1994 Nissan 300zx Base Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars

US $7,995.00
Year:1994 Mileage:77699
Location:

1994 Nissan 300ZX convertible with 77k miles on it since new. Black on black leather with a 5 speed manual transmission. Naturally aspirated (not turbo) V6 engine. All OEM parts and never modified. The second owner of this car is selling it after nearly 20 years of ownership as the couple simplifies down to a single car. 

The convertible top is in perfect condition and all power seats, windows and all other electrics work properly.The engine and mechanicals are in good to excellent condition. The body shows the wear of the years with paint issues/chips in places, a few small dents and a driver side front fender that appears to have been repainted by the first owner. Interior is in good condition and leather is holding up well, but there are signs of wear and a discoloration on the passenger seat. The main belt may need to be replaced as there is a chirping sound on startup in colder weather, but it goes away as soon as the car has forward movement. Under heavy rain, a few drops of water will come in at the pivot joint where the roof gasket meets the window, but there are no holes or other leaks. The interior has squeaks and rattles as should be expected in a 20 year old convertible.

The car does have a manufacturer buyback on the car records, but the title itself is clean. The car was sold to the current owner by a Nissan dealership in California without either party, at the time, knowing that the car had a buyback on its records. Once the dealership found out they sold a car that should not have been sold, they contacted the owner to inform him of the situation. After reviewing the alternative car offered by the dealership and without knowing why the car was repurchased, he decided to keep the car. The dealership provided an extended warranty and covered any and all repairs for the first several years of ownership. The only issue that could be identified was the roof. The convertible top was replaced during this warranty period and we believe that the reason for the buyback was a perpetually leaky roof as described. The car has never had any further issues and, in nearly 20 years of ownership, has only ever needed normal maintenance and repairs. I'm happy to provide any interested buyers a full in-person inspection of the vehicle and accommodate for an inspection by a reputable mechanic of their choosing.

Car will not be shipped. Car must be picked up in/near San Diego, CA. Payment in cash, cashiers check preferred. Would prefer to finalize sale in-person to sign over title. All sales final and the car is offered as-is with no warranty.


I'm happy to answer any questions you may have as well as provide as much detail as possible about the vehicle condition.

Nissan prices limited-edition 2014 GT-R Track Edition from $115,710*

Wed, 01 May 2013

Nissan has released its pricing for the model-year 2014 GT-R, including the new Track Edition of Godzilla. The 2014 Nissan GT-R Premium will now command an MSRP of $99,590, while the Black Edition will go for $109,300 and the new Track Edition will ask $115,710 (*not including a $1,000 destination and handling charge for all models).
Nissan calls the GT-R Track Edition its most exclusive model, which makes sense as it will be limited to just 150 examples for the US market. The competition-ready Track Edition gets Bilstein DampTronic shocks and revised spring rates; all chosen after more development work by Nissan engineers at the Nürburgring. (Good work, if you can get it.) A carbon fiber rear spoiler and six-spoke black wheels come with the package, as do blue-trimmed, high-grip front seats inside. To save weight, the car's rear seats have been deleted in this model.

Alpine unveils N36 LMP2 car that will race in 24 Hours of Le Mans

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

This is the Alpine LMP2 competitor you'll see contesting European endurance races this year, including The 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. Parent company Renault showed off the N36 racer at its atelier in Paris, the blue and orange a switch from the yellow, black and white livery Alpine wore last time it was seen in Le Mans way back in 1978 when it won the race.
The team will be run by Signatech-Nissan and the chassis will be powered by a Nissan engine. Nelson Panciatici and Pierre Ragues will contest World Endurance Championship rounds throughout the year, they'll be joined by endurance and IndyCar veteran Tristan Gommendy for Le Mans and Paul-Loup Chatin as the team's reserve driver.
The Alpine N36 will get into its first test this week at Paul Ricard, then experience its first racing miles at the European Le Mans Series round at Silverstone on April 13. The press release below has the full scoop, the photos above have the past and present in high-res glory.

Nissan design to show more Chinese influence

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Nissan is going to be leveraging the weight of the Chinese market by selling cars influenced by the People's Republic in other markets around the globe. The influence of Chinese design is further proof of the country's importance on a global scale. Nissan isn't the only manufacturer that's looking to leverage China's burgeoning design talent, as BMW, Volkswagen, and General Motors have all set up facilities.
In fact, VW and GM have both used Chinese talent to design cars, in the Passat and Buick LaCrosse, respectively. Nissan has already tested the waters with its Beijing studios, penning the Friend-Me Concept from this year's Shanghai Auto Show. Where GM and VW used their Shanghai-based studios as more consultancies than anything else, though, Nissan is aiming to have the Beijing studio design a global car.
According to Nissan's global design head, Shiro Nakamura, that's already happening. Nakamura told Reuters that Nissan is two years from launching a Chinese-designed global model that will see sales in both North America and Europe, in addition to its home market. While Nakamura wouldn't elaborate on what the new model's styling would entail, there's a focus on what the Chinese call daqi.
