32,000 mile 1996 Q45 on E-Bay!
This not my car! Just saw it on E-Bay...1996 black/black Q45 with 32,000 miles in Florida. "Buy it now" price $13,900. Looks like a good deal to me!
WOW! If I had not gotten a new car this year, I would consider this one! It looks perfect!!

Interesting wheels & OBD II vs. OBD I thoughts
Anyone know what those wheels are? They are not the BBS, chromed, which were fitted to the t model.
Another thought is that the 1996's with OBD II did not have the intake cam advance (not sure why), but it does seem plausible with the on-the fly engine management that performance, especially at WOT, did not suffer as much as has been assumed.
If Dennis reads this thread, it would be interesting to hear his thoughts about the gains and lossses at various RPM and throttle opeinings of OBD I with variable intake cams vs. OBD II with no variable intake cams.
My bet is on Nissan, that peak horsepower didn't change that much. Some early torque at wide throttle openings might not be present, but with a fuel ratio not running so rich, these losses may be minimized at lower RPM and eliminated at higher RPM at WOT where lack of intake camshaft timing advance could be tuned out at peak RPM. In fact, I was wondering why someone was posting about chips on his 1996 when it is my understanding that none were made as there is little to gain by leaning fuel mixture on WOT with the more accurate fuel delivery of OBD II.

May be its just me, but did you notice a little red (and not a yellow one) warning light on the left bottom corner of the dashboard on the picture that is taken from the driver's door?The foot parking brake pedal seems not to be depressed. What could that light be?
The car seems to be idling at 600rpm. Is that right most meter the temperature meter? Seems like the car is already idling at 600 rpm while the coolant temperature is still pinned at the lowest point.

oh may be I got it. The driver door open warning light, or the seat belt warning light. *sigh*. Tought I was getting to be a cool detective 
.but that idling at lowest rpm when the temperature is still at the bottom, is that possible? For my 97Q, when the car is idling after the cold start, the temperature needle is slightly above the bottom.
