1996 Nissan Pickup Xe Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 2.4l, 85000 Miles on 2040-cars
Duluth, Minnesota, United States
|
Originally an Arizona vehicle, this Nissan has never seen a Minnesota winter. It has 84,400 miles as of this writing. I've always kept it garaged during the cold months. Runs great with no motor or drivetrain issues. I call it a "personal responsibility" vehicle as everything is so hands on with it - manual window cranks, no power anything, wheel hubs to lock and unlock, manual transmission. It's wonderfully "trucky" and rides like a lumber wagon on newer heavy duty shocks and Firestone Destination A/T tires. The only real concession to creature comfort is the AC, which works great. The best part about this truck though is the body. It was well worth a very thorough and very expensive paint job in 2011, at which time it also received a replacement bed since the old one had some issues. The vehicle is entirely rust free, and by that I mean no old rust damage or extra holes that have merely been repaired either. It is completely sound, including the floor pans, rocker panels, anyplace you can think of. All the paint work was done by a professional auto restoration firm in Minneapolis with the bed off and all the necessary bits and pieces removed, not just masked off. The wheels are reconditioned originals and look absolutely new. Overall a splendid old truck - it even still has its original factory tape player. Very clean and well maintained. It's just time for it to have a new home with someone who will care for it as well as I have. Now the disclaimer: This tuck is 18 years old. It's not perfect but certainly about as nice as you're likely to find. There are going to be odd nicks, dings and scratches here and there, maybe even a couple I haven't noticed. The interior probably ought to be refreshed eventually and the exhaust is good but has likely been in place since the vehicle was new, so it might be a good idea to think about replacing that down the road too. But really that's about it as far as I can see The pictures show everything pretty well so look at them carefully and ask any questions you have before bidding. Any sale is necessarily final. |

NISMO confirms hotter GT-R, return to Le Mans and more performance models [w/videos]
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Nissan has made three announcements, all of which intend to sharpen the global significance and sales of its NISMO performance arm. Calling it "a new era for NISMO as its global performance car and motorsports brand," Carlos Ghosn cut the ribbon on the new, larger, nicer NISMO headquarters in Yokohama, Japan. For the first time since the division was founded in 1984, all of its employees are located in one place that was dubbed "a hothouse of passion and performance." Sign us up.
There, the team will start overhauling Nissan's entire range with NISMO models. The Juke NISMO is right around the corner for the US market, the second generation of the 370Z NISMO is coming for 2014, the first GT-R NISMO is being developed, and after that will come "a range of affordable performance Nissan models from small cars to flagship sports cars" - a new model every year. The expanded product line will mean that markets that haven't had access to NISMO's works will finally be able to buy them.
The last big news is that from now on NISMO will manage every one of Nissan's global motorsports programs, and its largest initiative will be prepping an entry for Le Mans in 2014. While Nissan has left the DeltaWing project, it hasn't walked away from experimental racers: the brand aims to have "a pioneering Nissan race car showcasing electric technology" ready in 15 months that shows "a new approach to innovation and excitement."
Nissan GT-R and Ferrari 458 Speciale in track battle by Evo
Thu, 14 Aug 2014Supercar slayer. That's what they call the Nissan GT-R. And in many ways it is, even though its price and performance over the years have risen to put it squarely in supercar territory of its own right.
In fact, as Evo magazine has been compiling a list of its fastest cars - using the Anglesey Circuit in Wales as its common ground - the GT-R has came out on top... that is, until Evo tested the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The two are about as different as you can get within the supercar segment: one has a turbo six up front driving all four wheels in a 2+2 configuration, the other a mid-engined, rear-drive V8 two-seater. In fact the only common ground you're likely to find between them comes down to their two doors and dual-clutch transmissions. Though they serve it up in different ways, both are class-leading performers.
We're looking forward to watching Evo populate its leaderboard with more entries like the McLaren 650S and more potent Nismo GT-R, but in the meantime the British enthusiast magazine, by popular demand, has released side-by-side in-car footage of both supercars putting their best lap forward around the seaside circuit.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
