Ok this is the story........

This was my sister's truck.

My sister leased this truck in December of 2005 out of Los Angeles, California.....title actually says Hollywood California.....

When her lease was up, she bought the truck.....she loves this truck....she actually is sick about selling it and doesn't even want me to talk about it...

I had the same truck except it was a 2001.....she loved that truck so much that she went and got the same truck except is was a 2005.

She and her friends would go snowboarding in the mountains...Bear Mountain I believe it is called. It is for that reason she added the hard cover, lockabletonneau cover....they could lock their snowboards in there....

My sister is 100 lbs.....the front seat is like it has never been sat in.....

The reason the truck has 150,000 miles on it is because she lived in California. To drive a hundred miles a day in that city is nothing.....anyone who has experience in California knows that everything is 40 miles away...

She also worked for Universal Studios and in the movie business they take off the last two weeks of the year....

She and her boyfriend.....now husband would get in the car every Christmas break and drive cross country to Columbus, Ohio for the holidays and then drive back to LA to go back to work.

In 2011 she was accepted to Ohio State for graduate school so she moved back to Columbus to live with my parents while she finished school. I drove the truck from LA to Columbus while her and her husband drove the moving truck......it drove 80 miles an hour across the country driving with my pinky finger......it is as smooth as they get....

While the car was in Columbus it was parked in my parents garage when it was not in use.....

My point here is that this truck lived in California all of its life until 2011 when it went to Ohio and was garaged.....when you look at the pictures you will see.....it is MINT......no salt....no damages from the harsh Ohio weather.....no rust whatsoever.......it is a California car...

You will not find a car in this shape in Ohio unless you are buying it Brand New......

The truck is immaculate and in Perfect Running Condition....

Ok....so that is the back story......here is the story of the service that has been done...

It has been kept in perfect running condition its whole life....here is the service that has been done...

The 2003,2004,2005 Nissan Fronteirs, Xterras, and Pathfinders all had the same automatic transmissions and that being said.....all the same transmission problem...

The automatic transmission in this truck is cooled by the radiator.....there was a flaw in the system where basically a seal would give way and the transmission fluid and the anti-freeze would mix and slowly kill the transmission....

My understanding was that Nissan tried to sweep this under the rug as much as possible because it was usually only happening well after 100,000 miles......they fixed the design flaw in the 2006 and newer models.....

Well at 140,000 my sister's transmission went and that is how we found out about this situation.....

My sister being a student right now didn't have the money to fix it and decided to lease a cheap car..

I knew what kind of shape this truck was in and that it was worth fixing.....so I bought it from her....I decided to put the money into to make it perfect again simply because it was in such pristine condition.

This is what I did.....

I had the truck towed by flatbed to Ben at Enhanced Transmissions in Cleveland.....Ben is the best in the city.....he is a race car mechanic that specializes in transmissions.....he was well aware of the problem Nissan had with these model years and had rebuilt many of these transmissions....

He completely rebuilt the transmission and installed the updates that Nissan made to correct the problem....so the transmission is completely rebuilt and works flawlessly......he also said he would transfer the warranty as long as he is the only one who works on the truck if there are ever any problems for 25,000 miles or two years...

So, it has a brand new transmission.....

Then, the gas gauge was not working.....the sensor was on the fuel pump....I could have just fixed that and called it a day, but while we were in there I figured the fuel pump is original...we might as well replace it...so we did

So...it has a brand new fuel pump....

Next, the engine light was on......can't pass the AIM test in Cleveland with that right?......So, the diagnostic tests showed it had bad catalytic converters.....so I replaced them....they are brand new....no engine light now....

So, it has brand new catalytic converters.....

Next, the CD player was broken......so I pulled the whole stereo......replaced it with a brand new Pioneer from Best Buy.....Geek Squad installed........it has blue-tooth so that you can answer your phone through the stereo and play songs from your phone......it also has a remote control for tailgating...and a 3.5 mm jack so that you can plug it directly into your phone....it is brand new.....about a week old....

So, it has a brand new stereo, with blue-tooth....it is mint...

Tires? They are brand new as you will see in the pictures.....my sister bought them less than 6 months ago...

Ok....what about the timing chain? It was replaced at 95,000 miles......she was paranoid and decided to have it done even though she was having no problems.......her mechanic replaced it, but said that once he got in there, there was nothing wrong with it....but it has been done so you can cross that one off your list...

So, timing chain was done recently.....

How is the interior? Like no one has really ever sat in it.....look at the pictures....it is beautiful....

Ok so how is the motor? Well it is the 270 horse power V-6, has had regular oil changes and quite frankly runs like a bat out of hell......

I drove it home the other day from the car wash and I looked down and had no idea that I was going 90 miles an hour....it is as smooth as my Cadillac.....

It is also tough not to peel out from stop lights because it simply has so much power......270 horses is a lot of motor for that truck.....it is FAST...

Brakes? Work perfectly.....

4 wheel drive? Works perfectly.....

Tow hitch......Has it....you will see it in the pictures.....

Ok, so I did all the updates and work on this very, very clean truck.....and I am thinking about keeping it to be honest.....but if I am going to part with it....

I want $14,500....I am pretty firm on this price with all I have listed above.....low ballers, don't waste your time....I will keep it...

You simply will not find this truck in Cleveland unless you buy it brand new.....and that will cost you around $35,000 out the door....

It has never towed anything......never hauled a load of dirt or rocks......never plowed snow......it has had a pretty easy life...

Whoever gets this truck is going to be very happy and need to do absolutely nothing to this truck.....it is in Perfect Running Condition....leaks Nothing......No Dash Lights Are On....ITS IS MINT! 

You can look at a video on you tube at ......................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEJEVYbvnLY

Also e-mail me with any questions and I will get back to you promptly......

Thank you for your time.

Renault-Nissan alliance to start autonomous EV testing

Mon, Feb 27 2017

The Renault-Nissan alliance is joining the self-driving electric-vehicle party. The French-Japanese automaking collaboration, which has been selling electric vehicles to the masses since introducing the Nissan Leaf in 2010, said Monday that it will work with transportation-technology consultant Transdev on developing a fleet of self-driving EVs for testing purposes. The model of choice, though, won't be the Leaf, but instead will be the Renault Zoe. Details aren't abundant, but the group does say it will perform the field testing in the Paris area. Transdev's pedigree includes operating what it says is the world's first commercial driverless service at France's EDF campus. The company, which is majority-owned by Caisse des Depots, is no small potatoes, generating about $7 billion in revenue in 2015. Take a look at the alliance's statement here. The alliance has already been working with Microsoft on driving-technology advancements and has teamed up with Japan-based DeNA to hatch a driverless-vehicle initiative for commercial services. And in January, Nissan said its ProPilot features, which include increased self-driving capabilities, would be added to its Leaf EV "in the near future." Of course, other automakers have already jumped into the self-driving EV game. California-based EV maker Tesla has long been pushing its vehicle technology toward autonomy, and General Motors said in December that it would start field testing driverless Chevrolet Bolt EVs sometime this year. In the meantime, the Alliance is gearing up a changeover in leadership, as Carlos Ghosn said last week that he was stepping down as Nissan's CEO on April 1. Ghosn, long a champion of electric-vehicle technology, will be succeeded by Nissan co-CEO Hiroto Saikawa.

Mitsubishi cheated on Japanese fuel economy test since 1991

Tue, Apr 26 2016

Mitsubishi now says that its cheating on Japanese fuel economy tests stretches as far back as 1991. The automaker has hired an independent panel of investigators to get to the bottom of what happened, and the company will give them three months to prepare a report about the deception. Mitsubishi's cheat involves how the company calculated driving resistance to determine fuel economy. In 1991, Japan's Road Transport Vehicle Act established a coasting test to establish the driving resistance, but Mitsubishi's engineers used their own "high-speed coasting test," according to its statement. In 2007, the company decided to only use the country's mandated evaluation, but the employees kept utilizing the high-speed test in the field. In the most recent scandal, workers selected low values for driving resistance from the results, which made the fuel economy look better. Mitsubishi's presented these details in a report to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism. "We are currently investigating the reasoning behind each of the decisions," the company said in a statement. It also hired three former prosecutors to figure out why this happened for so long. At this time, Mitsubishi only confirms the incorrect figures for some of the company's minicars, but this investigation could discover more transgressions. This fiasco started when Nissan discovered fuel economy discrepancies in some of its Mitsubishi-made tiny kei-class cars in Japan. Mitsubishi came clean and admitted the problem affected about 625,000 vehicles in the country. Japanese media have alleged more vehicles have incorrect mileage, including the Outlander. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US has also requested data from the Japanese automaker to confirm similar deceptions didn't happen for vehicles here.

Ex-Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn indicted, may remain in jail for months

Fri, Jan 11 2019

TOKYO — Nissan's ex-chairman Carlos Ghosn was charged Friday with breach of trust, according to the Tokyo District Court, making the star executive's release unlikely for months. Ghosn, arrested Nov. 19, was earlier charged with falsifying financial reports in underreporting his income by about 5 billion yen ($44 million) over five years through 2015. Ghosn; Greg Kelly, another Nissan executive; and Nissan as a legal entity also were charged Friday with additional underreporting of income, from 2015 through mid-2018. Ghosn's lawyer Motonari Ohtsuru said he would request that Ghosn be granted release on bail. His detention period for the breach of trust allegations was due to expire Friday. Kelly and Nissan were not charged with breach of trust. Those allegations center on Ghosn's handling of investment losses and payments made to a Saudi businessman. Ghosn, 64, says he's innocent. Suspects in Japan are routinely held for months until trials start, and Tokyo prosecutors maintain that Ghosn, a Brazilian-born Frenchman of Lebanese ancestry, is a flight risk. Earlier this week Ghosn told a Tokyo court he was innocent, in his first public appearance since his arrest, and appealed for his detention to end. But the court rejected that request. "I have a genuine love and appreciation for Nissan," Ghosn told the court. "In all of my efforts on behalf of the company, I have acted honorably, legally and with the knowledge and approval of the appropriate executives inside the company." He said the compensation was never decided on, the investment deal never resulted in any losses to Nissan, and the payments to the Saudi businessman were for legitimate services related to dealers and investments in the Gulf. Ghosn, who appeared much thinner than before his arrest, came down with a fever the day after his court appearance, but has since recovered, Ohtsuru, the lawyer, said. His wife Carole Ghosn issued a statement overnight out of Paris, expressing concern over his sickness. "I am pleading with the Japanese authorities to provide us with any information at all about my husband's health. We are fearful and very worried his recovery will be complicated while he continues to endure such harsh conditions and unfair treatment," she said. Apart from prosecutors, only embassy officials and Ghosn's lawyers are allowed to visit him. Such visits were canceled Thursday but resumed Friday.
