She cleaned up real nice! Are we to believe this car is 100% original? If so, it's held up very well.

Have you ever heard of a 14 year car loan?

No one was criticizing the customer or his finances, we all made a very simple and obvious observation. How are these very harmless, meaningless comments representative of what Autopia has turned into?

I think you're reading into this a bit too much.

Re: Unquestionably the worlds shiniest ..............

Superior Fine- Thanks for sharing this one, it looks great! I always like the original, well-used vehicles that're in nice shape, but this one is really something...and of course the debadging appeals to me too

Congrats to both you and the owner, a vehicle doesn't stay in that kind of condition by accident or (though I'd think that good luck does factor in).

I like it, too. I can always appreciate a well-cared-for car, no matter what it is.

If I recall correctly, I think Nissan made a notchback version, too. The hatch looks much better, and the level of care takes it to another level.

1987! Wow that takes me back. I see that car and I hear Journey playing.

Nice work!

Re: Unquestionably the worlds shiniest ..............

The owner of this vehicle has been in business with you for 12-14 years? What a loyal customer!

LOL @ at the "chick magnet" designation. I am a Nissan guy, and even I find that silly!

The owner of this vehicle has had me detail it on a regular basis for the last 12-14 years or so. 205,000 + plus miles and it keeps going strong.

It has been de-badged.. "no marks anywhere on the vehicle indicating what kind of car it is. It keeps the chicks guessing. I tell them it’s an old Ferrari."


I am sure in some remote village in a third world country somewhere this puppy is a collectible.

I think he has only 4 or 5 more car payments on it and it will be HIS!

Enjoy...
Maybe if he wasn't paying you to detail his car for the last 12-14 years it would have been paid off already?

Nice way to make fun of your customers.

I dont really think he was making fun of his customer.

Nice work. One of the more entertaining writeups Ive seen.
