Asking price is fixed for a quick, no-hassle sale!"

FEATURES 
  • This 2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4x4 is the top of the line trim for its model year, originally retailing at approximately $34,000 back when she was new! She still runs absolutely beautifully and will be a great car for your city errands or big mountain adventures. I'll be sad to part ways with her, but just bought a new car and certainly don't need two cars. 
  • 240 hp V6, 265 ft-lbs torque. She loves charging up big, steep mountain passes at highway speeds, and doesn't even break a sweat doing so. Excellent power. One of my favorite features of the car.
  • V6, DOHC engine
  • MPG 14 city, 18-19 highway, 16-17 mixed use
  • Front seat power options have 6-way adjustments, including height adjustable, and also manual lumbar support for the driver's side - very comfortable for long drives
  • Luxurious simulated wood trim on dash
  • Seats 5, rear seats fold down for expanded cargo space. Large middle armrest available when only 2 passengers are in the rear seats. Rear cupholders. 
  • Selling at a great price as I just want a no-hassle, quick purchase for this vehicle. The asking price reflects ALL noted wear & tear, as a top asking price for this car is in the $4500-5000 range, and this car has been listed recently at CarMax for more than $5,000! 

CONDITION
  • Full service records available
  • Scheduled maintenance completed at all recommended intervals, including at 120K miles
  • Fresh oil change, done in August 2013, less than 1,000 miles ago
  • Tires in excellent condition, premium Michelin light truck/SUV LTX mud/snow all-season tires, have 20,000 miles on them (warrantied for 70,000 miles). Will throw in $120 tire chains for FREE, only used once!
  • New battery in June 2013
  • New front and rear windshield wipers (hey, it's the little details that count)
  • New front rotors & front brake pads in July 2013, rear brakes were reported to be in good condition at the time
  • Just passed smog in August 2013, detailed test results and smog certificate available
  • Clean registration and clear title

WEAR & TEAR
Big Blue is 12 years ago, so will naturally have some normal wear & tear. The asking price reflects all the wear & tear and is an excellent deal for the buyer in the market for a vehicle of this maturity level.
  • No major accidents. Only one minor incident, brushed up against a parking garage pole at 3 MPH, which required front bumper/fender repair, but no structural damage.
  • Paint is fading on the rear driver's side bumper, a bit rusty by the driver's side mirror & on top of the moonroof in minor spots.
  • Driver's seat is torn, could be stitched back together or easily covered up with a cloth seat cover if desired
  • Check engine light comes on at times, I've been advised that the catalytic converter isn't performing fully up-to-specs, but it does not affect the day-to-day performance of the car. Despite this issue, Big Blue still passed smog in August 2013, so if/when you want to repair this, is up to you. She still runs at the advertised MPG, and is not due for another smog inspection for two more years, so no any immediate repair need.
  • CD player doesn't work, doesn't matter to me since I just plug in a FM transmitter to create an AUX input and play music via a iPhone/MP3 player anyway.
  • Clock doesn't work anymore, guess maybe a bulb or fuse burned out but if you know how to replace it, knock yourself out.
  • Remote key fob needs to be reprogrammed, could be programmed yourself if you know how to do it. Otherwise just use the key for manual entry.

2018 Autoblog Technology of the Year finalists

Wed, Jan 10 2018

After months of prepping and several days of testing, we narrowed the field for Autoblog's 2018 Tech of the Year award to the Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system, the Lexus LC 500h and its new hybrid powertrain, and the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and its trick Multimatic spool-valve off-road shocks. Three very different cars with very different technologies duking it out for the award. Look for news of our winner at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. We hand out this award every year to the technology or feature that we feel moves the bar forward for the automotive industry. Read more here on how our testing process works. We discuss, debate and count up score sheets, judging each vehicle and technology on a few different criteria. Is its purpose noteworthy? Does it work well? Does it advance the industry? The Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist was actually a prototype, as the technology will first debut in the 2018 Nissan Leaf. Still, we're here to test the tech and not the car. ProPilot Assist combines adaptive cruise control system combined with lane-keeping assistance. The system uses sonar, radar and a number of cameras for some light semi-autonomous driving and enhanced safety. While these systems aren't new individually, Nissan's system is affordable, intuitive, and coming to a mainstream product — democratizing the tech in a novel way, if you will. That's why it's here. The Lexus LC 500h uses a new powertrain that Lexus has dubbed the Multi-Stage Hybrid System. Basically it combines two types of transmissions — a CVT and a four-speed automatic — in a single unit mated to a naturally aspirated V6. That's complex and unorthodox technology, and Lexus engineered it to give drivers the efficiency of a CVT without sacrificing driving enjoyment. The package is subtle, working in the background to create a nearly seamless driving experience. It's engaging in a way most other hybrids can only dream of. The fact that it's wrapped in such gorgeous sheetmetal only makes things better. The Multimatic spool valve shocks in the Chevy Colorado ZR2 might seem low-tech compared to ProPilot Assist and the Lexus Multi-Stage Hybrid, but they represent a completely novel application of a technology that several years ago was so expensive that it was reserved for top-tier race cars. Like the LC 500h, these shocks really change your perception of how a vehicle like this should drive.

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
