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 really milking this whole glow-in-the-dark Leaf thing

Mon, Apr 6 2015

With the all-electric Nissan Leaf forgoing gas in favor of electricity, one doesn't generally associate the Leaf with anything involving "gallons." But the Japanese automaker has apparently gone all-in with this glow-in-the-dark paint shtick, and it has a Guinness World Record to prove it. For art's sake. Artist Ian Cook, of Popbangcolour, set out to create the world's largest glow-in-the-dark painting, and got a little help from a Leaf equipped with special paint that absorbs ultraviolet energy during the day, and can glow for as long as 10 hours at night. With the paint applied to the car's tires, the vehicle helped draw, yes, a "self-portrait." The painting, which took more than two days to complete and about 16 gallons of luminous acrylic paint on a giant PVC-coated canvas, measures more than 2,200 square feet, beating out the previous record of about 1,800 square feet set early last year. Earlier this year, Nissan started publicizing its work with inventor Hamish Scott at creating a special coating that gives that glow-in-the-dark effect and is even fully organic. The same type of paint was used along about a third of a mile along a Dutch "Smart Highway" whose stripes absorb rays during the day and glow at night. Cool. To see the nighttime friendly Leaf in action, take a look at Nissan's 84-second video about the big painting here and read Nissan's press release below. Glow-in-the-dark Nissan LEAF breaks Guinness World Records title for "Largest Glow-in-the-Dark Painting" Nissan uses glow-in-the-dark Nissan LEAF to achieve Guinness World Records title for the Largest Glow-in-the-Dark Painting title Artist Ian Cook, of Popbangcolour, used the tires of the LEAF to drive the glow-in-the-dark paint across the canvas Guinness World Records has confirmed that the painting, measuring 207.68m2, has broken the previous existing "Largest Glow-in-the-Dark Painting" Guinness World Records title LONDON – Nissan has broken the Guinness World Records title for the Largest Glow-in-the-Dark Painting by using the glow-in-the-dark Nissan LEAF to paint a 207.68m2 self-portrait of the 100-percent electric car. The painting, which depicts the front of a Nissan LEAF, was created by maverick motoring artist Ian Cook of Popbangcolour.

Nissan details Craigslist 1996 Maxima restoration

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

"Luxury Defined," in the most ironic sense the galaxy has ever known, is now "Luxury Restored," in the real and incredible sense. Last September, Luke Aker made ads to sell his 1996 Nissan Maxima GLE, the YouTube version being a mix truth, bombast, a British accent and a ratchet strap. The ad tickled Nissan such that it bought the car from Akes and made a donation to a charity of his choice. Then they consulted with the citizens of the Internet to decide what to do with it, the final vote being a complete restoration and display at the company's Nashville HQ.
Friends, Netizens, countrymen, the job is done. Nicknamed "Old Glory," comparing the old car with the new is like reading one of those shelter dog rescue stories where the loving family nurses an impossibly cute pup back to health with handheld nursing sessions, baby bottles of warm milk and whispered lullabies. Only Nissan probably didn't sing to the Maxima.
The Maxima is now on display, and we hope they've hung the ratchet strap with it. You can see Aker's new video on the transformation above, plus another video and press release below detailing the Maxima's journey back to New Glory.

2015 Nissan Micra is your cheapest new car, Canada

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Canadians looking for a brand-new car on the cheap, take note. This is the 2015 Nissan Micra, and it will arrive at dealerships this spring boasting a starting price of $9,998 Canadian dollars (circa $9,100 US), well under the $11,898 asked for a 2014 Versa Sedan.
Of course, that ultra-low asking price isn't for a fully loaded model. The Micra will arrive in the Great White North in three trims - S, SV and SR - with the buyer's choice of a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. A 109-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder is the sole engine choice. There will also be a number of accessory options that should allow some personalization for the small cars, with Nissan claiming that things like door handle finishers and mirror caps will be available in five different colors (plus chrome) for under $200.
"At Nissan, we understand the need in Canada for small, urban-friendly cars that are fun to drive and express their driver's personality. With Micra, we're delivering a proven global vehicle at a very attractive price - it's going to make a huge impact on the market," said Christian Meunier, the President of Nissan Canada.
