The time has come for the Altima to leave the nest.



For sale is the black Nissan Altima that we've been using for WOR Rallycross

rental. If you've ever wanted a Rallycross car you aren't afraid to scratch,

this is your car.

Edmunds.com dealer retail $1,167. Ha Ha Ha.

Actual asking price:$300, mildly firm.



The car has had a rough life. It spent about 13 years in service as an

Oakwood grocery-getter. In the fall of 2006 a large tree branch fell on it

breaking the rear window and putting a couple of dents in the roof and rear

fender. The car sat outside, uncovered for about 6 months until it was

liberated to be a rallycross car.



Known mechanical issues:

- When we first started running the car it would leak oil. Over the course

of an event it would loose 1 or 2 quarts. We put some stop leak in it about

2 years ago and it really hasn't leaked oil since then. No idea why not.

- Sometimes it goes low on power. Possibly the 'computer' gets angry about

the car being abused? At first we thought it was the transmission just

refusing to downshift. But turning the car off and back on makes the problem

go away. It doesn't happen often.

- The car is a rusty hunk of junk.



Other things that might matter:

- The car has no rear window

- The car has no carpet

- The car has no rear seat

- The air conditioning does not work

- The car is insanely dirty inside

- Tires are pretty...tired

- Wipers are down to bare metal

- Street legal, the things that matter work, it's just not registered or

insured

- It does have a relatively new exhaust on it, Borla I think. OEM style,

nothing fancy, but nice if you happen to have a 93 -Altima that needs an

exhaust.

- Obviously it is sold as is where is.



If you've seen the car run you know it can make decent times and it's a lot

of fun to drive. I have not started the car this year (or even seen it). I'm

not going to drive all the way out there just to see it start. If you want

to buy it and we can't get it to start or there is a big hole in the block,

then we can deal with it then. You're also welcome to go take a look

yourself. Take some jumper cables. Do not drive it on the street, it is not

registered or insured.



I do have a trailer and I will tow it a reasonable distance for gas money

and a couple of beers.
