Vehicle Description:

Okay all you frustrated Corvette owner wanta be’s….here’s the car you’ve been dreaming about and waiting for that outperforms a ZO6 Vett at a fraction of the new car price! 5 Speed manual transmission. It has the HICAS 4 wheel steering system standard only on 95/96 Twin Turbo T-Top models. You should see this car corner. It is UNBELIEVABLE ! It must be driven to believe it.

HISTORY
I am NOT a dealer. This car has no accident, hail or damage history. All maintenance records since titling included. The car was put in service on April 30, 1996 in Austin, TX by Nissan Motors as a Nissan Executive Drive vehicle. It was an anniversary edition and came installed with a white leather interior for this edition. The executive returned the car to the dealer (Austin Infinity) in Austin, TX in April,1998. The first titled owner was a senior business executive with Dell Computer in Austin. He purchased it on April 25, 1998 from Austin Infinity with 19,329 mi. (original window sticker included) According to this owner it was driven during the spring, summer and fall and stored during winter months. (A list of optional aftermarket accessories he installed are listed below.) I have his contact information if a call to him would be needed to close the deal. I am the second titled owner. I purchased the vehicle from Corvette Country in Austin, TX on 1/14/03 with 49,440 mi. It had been put on consignment by the first owner. I had it shipped by enclosed trailer from Austin,TX to St.Louis, MO where it has always been garaged. I purchased this car strictly as a collector's car. It is NOT a daily driver and is driven only about once a month to keep the fluids in circulation and the battery charged. It was never driven in the rain and to my knowledge has never ever seen snow. I am selling it because I am purchasing another collector vehicle. I have on file every maintenance receipt (original or copies) and accessory purchase prices starting in May 1998 forward. This car has only seen Nissan certified mechanics except where aftermarket accessories were installed. Car recently passed both MO safety and emissions testing. I exclusively use Royal Purple Racing 51 Motor Oil (20W50 fully synthetic). The only fuel I run in this car is Amoco Gold 93 octane (now BP). The previous owner used the same fuel. He used Mobil One Synthetic 15w50. Oil changes have been done religiously and are documented.

EXTENDED WARRANTY
First owner purchased an 84 month/100,000 mi Nissan Security+Plus Vehicle Protection Plan on May 25, 1998 from Town North Nissan in Austin,TX. The warranty overlapped the factory standard 3 year / 36 month warranty and had an expiration date of May 25, 2003. I had it transferred into my name after the purchase and utilized it twice. Before the warranty expired I purchased from Moore Nissan, St.Louis, MO for $1600.00 a 36 month / 36,000 mi (zero deductible) Nissan factory approved extended warranty (Pre-Owned+Plus)(SC) with a new expiration date of March 31, 2006. The new mileage coverage is good up to 85,986 mi. I have used it four times. It is fully transferable within first 30 days after purchase for $35 to Nissan North America, Inc. As you can see the warranty has been seamless from the day the car was first titled. There has been no break in coverage.There is no risk to you on old, high priced original Nissan replacement parts like other NON WARRANTIED 300Z’s. Before it expires, this warranty could save you $1000's especially if you plan to drive it as a daily driver. It also includes road side service. You can look up this warranty on Nissan’s website.
