I have ran out of room to store all my vehicles and toys so I must let this antique 1987 300ZX 2+2 go to a new home. It has 97025 miles at the time of this listing. The pictures tell a pretty accurate story. The body is pretty darn straight with only a couple of minor dings that will not show on the pictures. The paint is original and has lots of color left but it does show fading in sun prone areas such as the top and deck. There are some scratches here and there mostly around the ground effects but again I doubt you would even see them in the pictures. The wheels are straight and true but do have some flakes here and there along with some oxidation. The center caps look brand new. The front tires are about 65% but the backs are about 10% and will need replacement soon. The interior is good with some fading in sun prone areas. The leather seats are in really good shape with exception of a couple of scrapes on the drivers side bolster from getting in and out. The dashboard has no cracks. The glass is all in good shape. The tops seal nicely and have the factory sun shades installed. There is some sun drying/fading of the T-top headliner carpet on the driver side. The actual headliner does not sag. I have a new shift boot to replace the worn one but it is not installed. All features work but maybe the power window buttons should be removed and cleaned as you have to press harder on them and the steering wheel radio controls. The factory radio is replaced with a Sony aftermarket and the factory harness and amplifier were removed before I bought it. The rear deck seals good and does not leak. Before I got the car, the tail lights were leaking (common problem) and the floor under the rear carpet was staying damp. There was some surface rust under the driver side rear cargo mat but I removed it with a wire wheel brush and primered it with rust kill. I removed the entire tail light assembly and had it professionally sealed with the factory windshield adhesive cord that was used in that location from the factory. There is still a slight mildew odor from it being damp but I am confident that coffee grounds or baking soda would remove it. The power antenna does work but makes some clicking noises after the cycling. The engine and transmission run very smooth. The previous owner had replaced the timing belt, tensionor, cam seal, crank seal, thermostat, all radiator hoses and water pump at 92760 miles at a Nissan dealership (receipt shows $1433of maintenance ). I have also rebuilt the front struts with new cartridges only about 500 miles ago. This car is offered as pick up only. If you would prefer to arrange for shipping I will be available to make sure it gets onto the truck. I offer no warranties on this antique auto. I will require a non-refundable $500 deposit via PayPal at the end of the auction. The balance of the winning bid will be due within (7) days of the auction end. I will accept Cashiers Check and cash only for final payment. I encourage all potential buyers to come look at the car in person and also look the value up on NADA.

Recharge Wrap-up: Car2go launches in Brooklyn, Green Fleet Car of the Year Award announced

Fri, Sep 26 2014

The Car2go carsharing service is starting operations in Brooklyn next month. Beginning October 25, the service will offer 400 Car2go edition Smart Fortwo vehicles for point-to-point travel. Members pay a one-time sign-up fee, and are charged by the amount of time the use the vehicle (fuel and insurance is free). Drivers can find a car using the Car2go app or website, and can return the car to any non-metered parking spot within the 36-square-mile Brooklyn Home Area. Car2go is offering free membership and 30 minutes of credit for those who sign up early with a special promotional code. Learn more in the press release below. Renault and the Eco2charge consortium are working to bring better EV charging to France. They are providing research and development aimed at turning simple charging stations into "fully fledged energy ecosystems" through a smart grid. This grid would coordinate charging, consumption and energy storage in a way that increases efficiency and decreases cost. Read more in the press release below. The Renault-Nissan Alliance could source EV batteries from suppliers other than Nissan, according to CEO Carlos Ghosn. This news comes after recent questions of whether or not Nissan would scale back battery production in the US and UK. Ghosn says, "At the moment, we continue to produce our own batteries and we are open to outside sourcing, period." He also denies any plans to shutter Nissan's battery production facility in Tennessee. One source of batteries the alliance will look to is Korea's LG Chem. Read more at Automotive News Europe. The first-ever Green Fleet Car and Truck of the Year Awards will be presented at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The presentation on November 20 will be part of the LA show's Connected Car Expo. Nominees are selected by Bobit Business Media, with finalists picked by readers of Green Fleet, Automotive Fleet, Work Truck and Business Fleet magazines. The winners will be chosen based on performance, fuel economy, emissions, safety, capacities and other similar factors.

Daimler and Nissan venture to build cars in Mexico

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Nissan and Daimler have been partnering ever closer for years, and now an unnamed source has told Reuters that the automakers have agreed to a 50-50 joint venture in Mexico that would build Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz models. Given that the rumors about just such a deal go back nearly six months and similar rumblings are years old, this arrangement has been a long time coming.
The insider tells Reuters that a memorandum of understanding was signed between them last month to build the Mercedes GLA-Class and new Infinitis at Nissan's Aguascalientes factory. The rumor didn't say when production would begin. It wouldn't be the first time the two automakers have decided to share this platform - Infiniti will build its Q30 compact on it in the UK next year.
The partnership between the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler goes back to 2010 when the companies signed an agreement to share engines, factories and platforms. Since then, products of the partnership have included the underpinnings for the next-generation Smart and Renault Twingo and shared engines among some other models.

Nissan, Kia spending big to promote EVs, Chevy stays conservative on Volt

Sat, Dec 6 2014

With 22 months of record Leaf sales under its zero-emission belt, Nissan has started two big ad campaigns for the battery-powered Leaf. On TV, there's the Kick Gas campaign (it's a popular name) and on social media, Nissan is promoting the EV as the "world's cleanest car" (it's a paint thing). We don't know how much the paint prank is costing, but we do have some estimated numbers for the TV ads. Nissan has spent over $30 million on TV advertising for the Leaf in 2014. According to iSpot, which tracks these sorts of things, Nissan spent over $30 million promoting the Leaf on TV in 2014. "Through November of this year," iSpot CEO Sean Muller wrote to AutoblogGreen, "Nissan spent more then $400 million in TV advertising for its traditional fuel fleet, and $22 million for the rechargeable Leaf. It has since dedicated an additional $9 million on it its new Kick Gas campaign, which started airing November 3, shortly after news of the electronic sales slump broke." iSpot says that Kick Gas aired predominately on NBC, CBS and Fox. The result of those airings can be seen in the charts below, but the takeaway point is that viewers of college football, Gladiator and The Rachel Maddow Show were the most engaged by the ad. Nissan has said the ad is working and that it helped increase Leaf sales in November. How is Chevrolet promoting the Volt? Not nearly as aggressively as Nissan is with the Leaf. Muller said iSpot estimates that GM spent just $2 million over the past couple of years to sell the plug-in hybrid on TV, despite offering 62 different Volt ads online. Then there's new entry into the mix, the Kia Soul EV. iSpot figures Kia has spent about $15 million on TV airings of that odd sexified hamster spot. That's a lot of money for a car that just went on sale here in October, let alone one that isn't available in most states. We've asked Chevy, Kia and Nissan for comment on the iSpot numbers but have not yet heard back. You can watch ads for all three vehicles below. This content is hosted by a third party.
