122,259 miles.  Rims/tires that came on the car were too small,  so the actual mileage is lower but unknown. We put less than 11,000 on it since we've owned it.

Car has not been driven in the winter since 1985.

This is an everyday 3 season car, or 4 season in a warm climate or if you are very adventuresome.

Ground clearance is not really adequate for winter snows). If you are going to own one,  drive it and enjoy it.

We have brought it to local car shows and it is a serious people magnet.

It is so pretty it is also a serious head turner when out and about.

We hate to sell it but need the money and are losing money at this price.

These cars go for a wide range of money depending on original or modified, mileage and states of repair or disrepair.  I have tried to place a reasonable price on it.

 Appraised value in 2008 before: shocks, struts, $3,400 worth of interior work, rims, tires, sound system, and starter was $8,000

 We do have the  Nissan official Service manual to go with this and  I have repaired it with a new hard cover binding.

 
 I have the wheels that came with this car along with the old seat covers and interior parts there were replaced.

 A ground effects kit was installed on the car before it came to us including both front and rear bumpers, lower side panels and the small wing in the rear. We liked them so we left them on.

 There are still small things  that need to be fixed but  for the most part we have kept up very well with pretty much everything as they came up.

Next would have been one of those nice high end pain jobs with  clear coats but alas we need some money as the economy has not been good to us.
