1987 Nissan 200SX "CHICK MAGNET or "WEDGE" for short.
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...

He`s had it for at least 12-14 years and still has 4-5 payments? What`d he do, take out a mortgage on the car?
It does look pretty good for its age though.

Yes! He bought the car for $2000 and had been making $12.42 payments ever since.

If that`s true it`s funny, if it`s not true, it`s still funny.

Man I have to move out of the rust belt... A car like that around here would have holes so big in it you could stick your head through it LOL. That thing looks amazing for it`s age.

i can`t beleive how many people critize our customers on here. seriously this stuff has to stop. i see so many people say things about ugly peoples dirty interiors and and such now we laugh at one mans finances? i can`t beleive autopia has turned to this. anyway its obvious the man loves his car to keep it in nice shape. that car looks incredible considering the age. this is a perfect example of a really talented detailer can do while maintaining a car over its life time. outstanding detailing and outstanding job! car looks awesome.

I`m definitely not laughing. But one had to wonder why he had payments
on something he has had for 14 years.

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.

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 :D
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).
