This is a listing for a 1987 Nissan Maxima. I am not sure if this is the SE or the GXE model. I have some original paperwork on it but it doesn't state what model it is. This is a used vehicle, being sold as is. The car has 121858 miles on it. Low mileage for a 1987. I have the title for this car with no lien holders. Included is the original manuals and warranty book that came with the car. Also the original receipts for repairs done by the first owner. These were in the glove compartment and I am not sure if these are complete records from the original owner. This is a really nice car. This car deserves to be repaired and/or restored if someone has the capability, I hate to scrap yard her.
Background:
The vehicle has had two owners: myself and my neighbor until 2012. The car belonged to my elderly neighbor and she purchased it new. When she left NYS she sold me her car. I have had it almost two years.
The Problem:
The car is drivable, but needs work to fix the brake lines and work on the frame. On Sept 25, 2013 the brake line rusted thru. It needs to be replaced. In addition, the car failed its last July 2013 inspection. It failed due to a dent in the unibody construction (right side) and some rust on the frame (left side). The guy showed me one spot of rust on the frame and the dent that caused the failure of the inspection. These issues are repairable. This would be a great car for someone who has the ability to make these repairs themselves, or has the money to spend at an auto body/repair station. The car also needs more work done on the exhaust system. I had replaced the muffler on the system about two months ago but exhaust still needs further work. There is a high pitch noise when the car runs and I have no idea what that is. The push button for the trunk release/opener needs to be replaced, but trunk can be accessed with the key.
The Exterior:
The car has a functioning sunroof. There is rust around the rear fender wells. The left rear door by the door handle has minor rust. There is some rust on the left front fender at very bottom and right front fender. The passenger doors have mirror rust. The right front part of the bumper plastic is cracked. On the hood there is a scratch, no rust yet. There is scratches on the roof that are minor. There are minor scratches on the trunk hood. There is some rust on the back above the rear brake lights. The tires are about a year old, and maybe have about 10000 miles on them.
The Interior:
The car has an original security system that works. It is called a theft warning system in the original paperwork. The system activates when you set it, even if you leave your windows down. There is a working AM/FM radio. There is a cassette. Not sure if cassette works as I have never tried it. The stereo has a working graphic equalizer. The car has working overdrive control switch. Vanity mirror passenger side. Spotlights mounted on inside ceiling between sun visors-all working. Interior light needs a bulb. There is a working luggage compartment light. There is car interior trunk access making the trunk readily accessible from the rear seat. There are three assist grips...front, rear passenger side and rear driver side. This is by design. Working trunk lid, and fuel lid openers in car. Working tilt steering wheel. The interior needs to be detailed as it is soiled from use. There is one button missing out of driver side seat upholstery. Seats feel like crushed velvet. The power antenna will not retract. You can hear it, like it is working, but it does not retract.
Information:
If you win or purchase this car you will have to call me to arrange for a day to pick this vehicle up with a tow truck, or like. I will ebay message you with my phone number. I would like to have the car moved within three days of the winning bid or purchase. If that is a problem please message me before you bid or purchase the car. Thank you.
Please read the listing and look at the pictures before you bid or purchase the car. I have tried to list everything. If you have any questions please ask before bidding or purchasing. I will answer all questions and concerns. This is a used car that needs repaired.
If you would like to view the car before bidding or purchasing please message me. Will not end listing for you to come view. This is a used, as is vehicle that needs work to run and pass NYS inspection. In the future there may be other problems that could arise that I am unaware of as this is a 1987 vehicle. I have listed every thing that I know.
I do not accept returns. No refunds. Any questions ask before bidding or purchasing. Cash, money order, bank check for payment at pick up. Or PayPal if they allow the amount, no echecks. Local pick up only please.
Thank you for your time to look at this listing.

Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]
Fri, Nov 21 2014First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.
Ghosn: 'While I'm proud of our EV leadership, I know it's not enough.'
Thu, Dec 17 2015Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has written something like a State of the Union on electric vehicles and the carbon economy. We'd sum it up as, 'we're working on it but we all need to work harder.' Ghosn believes all of the commitments made at the Paris COP21 climate change conference are a start, but "the support of the business community is imperative," in coordination with the public sector. He stresses that he's after an "orderly transition," one that uses what we have now in order to go where many believe we need to go. That means no threats or revolution, no "aggressive government intervention and centralized demand and control," but rather a "practical, affordable way to begin reducing dependence" on the fuel that turns the skies brown. Ghosn wraps up his manifesto this way: "The UN Secretary General recently said that we are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change and the last to be able to do anything to stop it. This is a call to action, and the auto industry is committed to doing its part." Based on the undeniable shift toward the electrification of the automobile, we know that the call is being answered. Given the limited market share EVs have today, it could still use some more people and companies picking up the phone. With vehicle numbers expected to grow from 800 million to more than two billion by 2050, "transition will occur one way or another," Ghosn writes. Head over to Forbes to read Ghosn's thoughts.
Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four 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.
