For your consideration is my beautiful 1996 Nissan 240SX SE Turbo!
You’d be hard pressed to find a Zenki model in this shape. I have had this car for nearly 11 years, originally purchasing it off a CarMax lot. It has always been garaged, and has been stored in my enclosed garage for the last 3. I bought it August 5, 2002 with 63,645 miles. It currently only has 79,650 miles and less than 5K on the drivetrain. The custom built 2.4L KADE engine was built professionally, dyno’d at 502whp/495lbft running 26lbs boost, and while capable of more I chose to not pursue it as I also wanted a reliable daily driver. While these cars are highly sought after for drifting and drag racing, this car has never been abused nor raced.
The factory paint is pearl metallic white, found on the upgraded SE models and is as original and shiny as the day it rolled off the factory floor. The car has never been hit nor in an accident. The paint and body are nearly flawless; there is no rust, peeling or fading. There are only two areas for me to point out, (1) is on the driver’s side hood near the front – a small ding which happened in my shop many years ago, and (2) the common paint chipping on the bottom of the front bumper spoiler.
The interior was upgraded to gorgeous two-tone black and white Katzkin leather. It is flawless, as is the rest of the interior. Things I don't have time to do: The head unit is not working; could be a simple fix but its an old unit and they're cheap to come by. The rear drag radials are bald, but not done with this car as I traded the previous wheels and tires a few years ago for the current Volk Racing wheels and tires prior to storage. There are a few outer rim scratches, but nothing noticeable unless you are on it with a magnifying glass. The Volks are gorgeous.
All electricals and mechanicals including AC are perfect.
Car was chosen by Enjuku Racing as the backdrop for their advertisement in S3 magazine; and also shown in the reader's rides section.
Why am I selling? I swore I'd never sell it, but life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. I have three children that apparently grew overnight! One in college and two starting this year. I have other vehicles, so enough said.
I hold clean and clear title with no liens.

While Pebble Beach is traditionally thought of as the refuge of the pristine and pricey vintage vehicles of the world, there's no shortage of newer vehicles on display. And when we say "new," we mean really new. As in, not even in production new. This is the concept car lawn, and it's home to an eclectic group of vehicles from past and present.
Of course, calling it the "concept car lawn" is a bit of a misnomer this year (as it has been in previous years, too). Production models like the Alfa Romeo 4C were on display, alongside known quantities like the Hennessy Venom GT and modified versions of already-on-sale models, like the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Waterspeed Collection.
There were a few concepts on display, though. Toyota debuted the critically acclaimed FT-1 Concept in a new shade, while BMW's Beijing Motor Show stunner, the Vision Future Luxury, was also parked on the expensive grass. Also appearing were the Nissan GT-R in sheep's clothing, the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge, and the recently debuted McLaren P1 GTR.

Despite the fact that an all-new generation of its Rogue crossover goes on sale in November, Nissan will continue to sell the current model alongside its replacement. The existing C-platform-based Rogue, which will be renamed Rogue Select, will start at less than $20,000 when it goes on sale in January 2014. At present, a base 2013 Rogue S prices out slightly higher, from $20,310, but we wouldn't be surprised to see the 2014 Rogue Select come to market with more standard equipment and simplified trim options. It will continue to be built in Kyushu, Japan.
According to Nissan, the unusual move is "to satisfy demand for the popular compact sports utility vehicle, currently second-highest seller in Nissan's lineup, as well as provide customers an additional choice in the segment." It's hard to hard to argue with the numbers: Nissan cites 2012 calendar-year sales of 142,349 Rogue units in the US, with 2013 sales increasing 16 percent through August despite the vehicle's age.
The strategy may also give Nissan the chance to ask for more money for the second-generation model (which is based on a new Common Module Family platform shared with partner Renault) while keeping it clear of residual-value-damaging fleet sales. The new Rogue looks to be both larger and more luxurious, with an available third-row seat, and it should be more economical to produce, as it will be built in Nissan's Smyrna, TN plant.

The Nissan Altima and Sentra sedans are both very competent, economical, comfortable and well-equipped ways of getting from A to B. They're also both decidedly boring to look at, which is not a good trait in their increasingly style-driven segments.
To rectify this, Nissan is planning design overhauls for its mainstream, with the Sentra adopting the sportier, Euro-style looks of the Pulsar, according to The Car Connection. While that (sadly) won't mean the five-door Pulsar will come to the US market, fitting the European stylings to the Sentra should go a long way towards broadening the car's appeal.
That parcel of information comes from Nissan design boss Shiro Nakamura, who spoke to The Car Connection at last week's Paris Motor Show.
