One-of-a-kind, female school teacher owned (1985-2001), collector owned (2001-2013), completely stock, original, meticulously maintained, highly-optioned, great driving 1985 Nissan 300ZX with only 91,000 original miles, a perfect Carfax, and the very desirable 5 speed manual transmission. I'm a Z fan from way back who cut his teeth on 240Z's from the early 1970's. I cannot get over what a tight, smooth, civilized driver this Z is. It makes my old stuff (as cool as they were) feel like a Model T. I'm the Ebay go-to guy among my circle of friends and my buddy Brett has asked me to sell it for him.

When the collector bought it in 2001, it had less than 69,000 miles on the odometer. To bring it up to his very high standard, he immediately had the following work done whether it needed it or not:

* Keyless remotes installed in doors
* Four wheel alignment 
* Replaced right rear control arm
* Replaced both front ball joints
* Replaced left front tie-rod end
* Flushed and changed radiator coolant
* Installed new spark plug wire set
* Replaced fan belts
* Replaced timing belt
* Replaced timing belt tensioner and spring
* Installed Alpine stereo (stock stereo is included)
* Replaced oil pressure sending unit
* Replaced emergency brake cable
* Replaced rack and pinion
* Completed injector recall
* Replaced air flow meter
* Installed MagnaFlow exhaust system (sounds wonderful)

He only drove it 14,000 miles in 12 years. At 83,000 miles he had the differential and transmission serviced with Red Line fluids. All oil changes have been done with Castrol GTX 10-40 and K&N oil filters (extra filters included). And the alternator and battery have been replaced in the last 6 months. Right now, all it needs are hood struts. I may have them by auction end. In my opinion (and I'm a hard-core car guy), this beautiful 300ZX is virtually mechanically perfect and runs and drives like a new car. It really has to be driven to be believed. And there are zero leaks underneath (see pics).

The interior is excellent. Everything works properly (even the cruise control and electric mirrors). AC was converted to R134a in 2006 and works great. Doors open and close with a solid thud and no rattling. Dash is perfect with no cutting or butchery of any kind. All gauges work. And again, the original stereo (not installed) is included in the sale. Only visible flaws are two small cracks; one on the driver side door pull and one on the passenger side rear panel (see pics). And it looks like a liquid spilled long ago on the removable panel in the driver side rear corner below the tool container. I can see pretty obvious evidence of touch-up (see pics).

Exterior looks equally great. It had a very high-quality respray in the original color sometime around the turn of the century. It was done shortly before the collector bought it. He kept it in a garage under a cover so the paint quality has remained excellent other than a few small road nicks on the front. T-Tops are in great shape and look like they were rarely removed. They come with removable sun shades and factory protective covers (see pics). Goodyear American Eagle tires are also in great condition and wearing evenly. Underneath, I was able to find one rust spot just in front of the driver side inner fender (see pics), which is impressive for a 29 year old Nissan.

This is really a sweet Z. So many were modified and beat on that to find one in this condition (especially with the manual transmission and low miles) is a real treat. I hope she finds a home with someone who prizes her originality. Just my two cents. 

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. And you may want to consider flying in and driving it home. That would be a blast and I'd be happy to help facilitate it. This sweet 1985 Nissan 300ZX is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding.

Nissan sets 2017 sales record with help from Rogue, Titan, and Armada

Thu, Jan 4 2018

Nissan Group said its U.S. sales climbed 1.9 percent in 2017 to an all-time record of more than 1.59 million vehicles sold. Free pizza in the conference rooms in Nashville, right? But a closer look shows the company mirroring overall industry trends, with plenty of declining-popularity cars but also a few aging trucks and SUVs. Taken together, Nissan's trucks, SUVs and crossovers saved the day, selling an all-time high of 765,624 total units, up 15 percent from 2016. That offset a 10.9-percent drop in sales of Nissan's cars, as volume sellers like the Altima and Versa posted steep drops. Also buoying overall results was the Infiniti division, which gained 10 percent from the previous year on the strength of models like the Q60 and QX30. Nissan's record year owes a lot to the Rogue, its compact crossover, which set an annual sales record with 403,465 vehicles, an increase of 22.3 percent. Sales of the Titan, Nissan's full-size pickup, grew an impressive 141.9 percent to 52,924 units, while the Armada, a full-size three-row SUV that was all-new for 2017, also saw a huge jump in sales (154.1 percent) to 35,667. Infiniti, meanwhile, saw overall sales climb 10.9 percent on the strength of huge gains by the Q60 Coupe, which rose 170.8 percent, and the QX30 crossover, which grew almost 524 percent. That being said, Infiniti volume is relatively low. The Q60 Coupe sold a total of 40,444 units and the QX30 14,093 for 2017, while Nissan shifted 40,172 Rogues in December alone. On the car side, the Maxima did well, gaining 7.9 percent to finish at 67,627. Volume-wise, the Sentra dominated, nudging up 1.7 percent to 218,451. But the rest of the lineup mirrored industry trends for the car segment, with steep drops for the Altima (down 17 percent), battery-electric Leaf (-19.8 percent), Versa (-19.2 percent) and Juke (-48.1 percent). Several truck, crossover and SUV models are also not faring so well. The aging Frontier pickup, last updated in 2005, fell 14.5 percent, the Pathfinder slipped by 0.8 percent, the Quest minivan plummeted 55.5 percent and the upscale Murano crossover fell by 11.8 percent. A Nissan spokesman says the Quest is no longer being built for the U.S. market starting with the 2018 model year. Meanwhile, reinforcements are coming. Nissan has said it's planning a new generation of the Frontier, its entry-level pickup, but hasn't clarified when.

Nissan teases new pickup again, this time with video

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

It was just yesterday that we were presented with our first teaser image of Nissan's new midsize pickup, ahead of its June 11 debut. Today, we have video of what is most likely the next-generation Frontier.
It does reveal a skosh more of the truck than the teaser, focusing on the grille, which should follow Nissan's familial pattern. There's also plenty of footage of the new truck in action, as well as a tiny glimpse of the cabin, which shows (we're guessing) an information display in the instrument cluster.
Take a look below for the video, and then be sure to check back here in one week for the official reveal of the newest Nissan pickup.
