1997 SE 5 Speed Black/Black: NY
1997 SE 5 Speed Black/Black: NY
Its time to part ways with my 97 SE 5 Speed daily driver.
She's treated me well over the last 2 years and 2 months that I've had her and she'll make a great daily driver for someone else. Anyway on to the details about the car:
I'm looking for $2800
Sold as is
The car is currently located in Forest Hills NY
- 97 SE 5 Speed Manual
- 124k miles
- Black leather
- Bose
- Power Driver and Passenger seat
- Auto Climate Control
- Heated seats
- Heated mirrors
- Sunroof
- Anti lock brakes
Extras:
- Bose is currently hooked up to a Pioneer DEH-P3900MP
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-XdizU7j...H-P3900MP.html
- Nismo leather shift ****
- 30% tint all around including sunroof
- 10 point 5 cable grounding kit
- Front cross drilled rotors
Recent Maintenence:
- New front axels at 102,000 miles
- New cam shaft sensor 104,000 miles
- New knock sensor at 106,000 miles
- New headlight bulbs at 115,000 miles
- New brake pads, and calipers at all 4 corners and new rear rotors at
119,000 miles. (The rears calipers seized and ruined the rotors and for
some reason the fronts were leaking fluid at the piston.) (This set me back a pretty penny!
)
- New Purge Solenoid Valve at 119,000 miles
- Mobil 1 high mileage formula 5W-30 oil changes every 3000-3500 miles
since I got her. I've even used the mobil 1 filter with the thicker gasket.
- Since I got her I have not used anything but 93 octane from BP or Ultra 94
from Sunoco near my parents house upstate. (Yes I am **** and tried to
keep the internals of this car as healthy as possible)
The Bad:
- As it is a 14 year old car please do not expect it to be perfect. This car
has the typical dings, dents, and scratches and many were there before I
bought this car.
- Rear bumper and part of quarter panel was scrapped up by someone who
had no clue how to parallel park behind me.
- Rip in center arm rest.
- Only one key fob. (I bought the car like this and then later made a
duplicate key for the car.)
Vehicle History:
I am the 3rd owner of this car. It was leased and bought out in Ohio by the first owner. It was later traded in at a Nissan dealership in New Jersey and purchased by the second owner. I purchased this car from the second owner. From what the second owner told me before he bought the car at the dealership was that the clutch and spark plugs were replaced before he bought the car. I have had no issues with either of these so I took his word for what it was. While in the second owner's possession he was involved in a low speed fender bender. The front passenger fender was hit and fixed. The car drives straight and true. I have driven this car daily for the last 2 years and 2 months and have had no issues. I have even driven this car on long trips to and from Boston to visit my brother and 4 hour round trips to my parents house on a regular basis and have had no issues to date. Now on to the pictures:

I am trying to swap off the lease of my 09 altima to save some money, and i would need a car that could handle long distance trips such as this one.... i have not figured out all of the things i need to do to swap a lease, but if its a simple process i would then be in the market for this car...
i frequently take 7 hour trips from NC to NJ and soon will be taking trips down to florida as my mom is moving down there. as far as maintenance goes (aside from cosmetic issues) does this car need any other work? ive been stranded twice before in my previous car before the altima and know that it is a. not fun and b. very inconvenient so i am llooking for piece of mind knowing i would have a solid car that could handle distances. also a/c and all of that good stuff works well too right?
