FS: Pearl 1997 GLE with only 51,500 miles [Florida]

[ROCKART]

I am considering selling my car in the near future and want to see if there are any potential buyers out there.

ASKING: $6500 or best offer

Its a 1997 GLE with only 51,500 miles on it - CARFAX certified. It is an automatic transmission. It comes with the sunroof, BOSE speaker setup, leather, etc.
It has never been in any accidents. All service has been done at a Nissan Dealership (even by the previous owner).

I am the second owner, and bought the car a year ago when it had only 41,820. Other than a few cosmetic blemishes, it is very well kept.

The first owner was an old lady who lived in Florida her whole life, so this car has never seen snow, ice or road salt. The undercarriage is immaculate (see pictures).

NADA and BlueBook value this car, without its modifications, at $7,550 in good condition.

The tires are at about 60% treadlife, 225-45-18, COOPER ASX tires.

I have babied the hell out of this thing; changing the oil every 2500 miles, using nothing but premium gas its whole life, etc. etc etc.
I have replaced many items, as well as added some performance/cosmetic mods and I have receipts for every single thing I have purchased or done.

WITHOUT the R34s







The faults are as follows:

All 4 corners of the bumpers have scratches which the old lady covered up with White-Out. The longest scratch is about 2 inches. These are only on the plastic bumpers though, not the body panels.

There is something causing the car to run rich at the moment (since the Y-Pipe and Spacer install). It gets about 18-19 MPG in the city, and 23-24 on the highway.

Two of the four Altima SE-r wheels are rashed. One is very slight (shallow and about 2-3 inches long) and the second is roughly 5-6 inches long and deeper, though standing away from the car its nearly impossible to notice unless you are looking for it. The other two are near perfect.

The passenger side airbag is discolored and the paint is fading off.

The LCA bushings are wearing down and will need to be replaced in the near future.




I will post up some more pics:

Why do you want to sell? You have a really nice clean car there broseph.

well there are a couple of factors

first my friend who works at Maroone Volvo down here was just promoted to full sales associate - which means he can handle my financing unilaterally. he would give me about a 20-30% discount on any car in the lot


second, i live in a heavily urban area.
98% of my driving is done in stop-n-go traffic and frankly im a little sick of getting 18 or 19 mpg around town.

if i do end up getting a different car, it will be a 2liter 4 cyl like an RSX-S or TSX or SCion tC.



plus my car has a fair amount of value in it right now. at 51,500 miles it still is pretty valuable.

im at a crossroads here where i have to decide if i want to spend the money to fix the LCA bushings and drop it on h-techs or just sell it now and use that money to start financing a car.
