This auction is for a 6. 00 mile 2012 Nissan Versa SV sedan finished in Titanium Metallic paint (code KAC) with a Charcoal Gray interior. 2012 is the first year of the new Versa sedan bodystyle and looks identical to the 2015 model. For 2012. Nissan sold both the Versa sedan and Versa hatchback models but the hatchback used the same old bodystyle since 2007. Only the sedan is all new for 2012. It’s powered by Nissan’s second-generation 1. 6-liter HR16DE engine. a 16-valve DOHC powerplant that has received excellent reviews by engineers and the automotive press for its strong power output. great economy and inherent smoothness. It features an all aluminum alloy engine block and cylinder head for light weight and excellent heat dissipation. Continuously Variable Timing Control (CVTC) on both intake and exhaust cams similar to the system used on the Maxima for maximum power output at all engine speeds. a dual fuel injector system that allows a wider injection of fuel with two smaller nozzles delivering a finer spray for excellent gas mileage. distributorless coil on plug (COP) ignition for reliability in all environmental conditions. and drive by wire electronic throttle for precise control of drivability parameters. These and numerous other cutting-edge technologies make it one of the most advanced powerplants in the entry-level class of automobiles. The 2012 Versa sedan was the first vehicle in North America to wear the PUREDRIVE® badge. PUREDRIVE® is a global concept and designation demonstrating Nissan’s commitment to creating eco-friendly. improved MPG and lower CO2 emission vehicles. The engine is mated to a redesigned Xtronic CVT™ (Continuously Variable Transmission) that eliminates conventional shifts to provide silky smooth seamless acceleration that no other transmission. either manual or conventional automatic. can match. without any of the power loss of a conventional automatic and nearly identical fuel economy as a manual transmission model. It provides a stepless and seamless flow of power continuously from idle to redline. Instead of having individual gears. the CVT allows continuous change of the transmission gear ratio by connecting two pulleys with a metallic belt and changing their diameter by using hydraulic pressure. The CVT also features a transmission ratio of 7. 3:1. which is broader than those of conventional CVTs and even typical 7-speed automatic transmissions. This new CVT design adds an auxiliary gearbox using planetary gearing. helping improve efficiency. Also. internal friction is reduced by 30 percent. weight by 13 percent and overall size by 10 percent versus the previous Versa sedan CVT design. The CVT has a low starting “gear” ratio that provides brisk acceleration from a stop. while a high top “gear” ratio allows for effortless highway cruising and excellent fuel economy figures of over 40 mpg in real world driving. In other words. this CVT has a lower “first gear” and a much higher “top gear” than conventional transmissions. which gives it such enhanced acceleration when starting off. and great gas mileage when cruising. Rounding out the Versa is a suspension made to smooth out your daily commute while still having fun on twisting roads. Start off with a light curb weight of 2. 00 pounds and add a MacPherson strut independent front suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars and low rolling resistance P185/65R15 all-season tires. Include speed sensitive rack and pinion Electric Power Steering (EPS) for precise road feel. anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) for sure stopping and a stiffer chassis design than many other small vehicles. and you have a car that is quicker. faster and handles better than most others in it’s class. Not only is the Versa fun to drive. it’s also economical to maintain. Most systems have low or reduced maintenance components. For example. instead of a timing belt that needs periodic replacement. the Versa uses a steel timing chain that lasts for the life of the engine. It uses platinum tipped spark plugs that only need to be changed every 105. 00 miles. extended life coolant with a 105. 00 mile service interval. transmission fluid that needs to be changed at 120. 00 miles only if the car is used in severe service. and a fuel filter that only needs replacement if the pump is replaced. Also. the muffler and tailpipe are stainless steel and should last the life of the car. This vehicle was a Hertz rental car that was issued a Missouri salvage title after sustaining only light damage to the left front of the vehicle. CLICK HERE to see a picture of the damage. The left front door. fender and headlight were damaged. There was no frame or suspension damage. To err on the side of caution. and to avoid future liability issues. some car rental companies will total out a vehicle even if the damage isn’t extensive. especially if the renters own insurance is covering the claim. and also so that downtime of the vehicle is eliminated. The car was repaired with a new headlight and a used door and fender from an identical color 2012 Versa parts car. So the car has NO paintwork as the nomenclature of used cars defines it. (Brush touch-up of any nicks and blemishes excluded of course. ) While the bumper was off. I also added factory fog lights. After the car was repaired. it was inspected by the Maryland State Police salvage inspection unit. and then was issued a clear Maryland title branded as XSALV. CLICK HERE to see the title. As such. it can now be titled and registered in any state. Be wary of sellers who sell a car with just a salvage title as it could cost you thousands to make the car roadworthy and be able to pass a salvage inspection. regardless of what the description says or how nice the car looks. If you are one of those who are familiar with salvage vehicles. you will understand what a good value a car like this is. as it looks and runs like a brand new 2015 Versa SV on a Nissan dealers showroom floor selling for over $17. 00. CLICK HERE to see the pricing of an identical 2015 Versa SV. The car has a February 2012 production date and probably wasn’t sold new for a couple months after that. I got it from Hertz in September 2012 and put it in storage until I could find a matching color door and fender at a reasonable price. Well that didn’t work out as the few junkyards that even had the new bodystyle Versa in stock back then wanted an arm for the parts and a leg to ship them. On to plan B which was to buy a complete parts car. Finding a late model wrecked car in a specific color that isn’t half way across the country is not easy but I did. Once the parts were available. it took less than a month to fix. inspect and title the car. A side benefit is that the car has been off the road for over 2 years. and thus has super low miles for a 2012 model. Also. it has never been driven in the snow and salt of the past winters. I am fully disclosing the salvage history of this vehicle (although not all other sellers do). which is why the car is priced well below other similar cars. Eventually whenever YOU sell the car. let your conscience be your guide as to disclosing that information. Don’t worry too much about the salvage history. remember. you are buying a car. not a piece of paper. It’s certainly not as significant on a three year old economy car as it would be on a one or two year old model luxury or sports car. and when it comes time for you to sell it. it will be even less significant on an 6. 8 or 10 year old vehicle. As previously mentioned. the Nissan Versa sedan has been totally redesigned for 2012. A “clean sheet” ground-up design that combines styling cues from the Nissan corporate architecture of its upscale Altima and Maxima models into its most affordable entry-level automobile. The use of more high strength steel and light weight aluminum components results in a 150 pound weigh reduction over the previous year while still keeping the same wheelbase and width. In fact. the Versa sedan has more rear seat legroom than the Lexus LS460. BMW 5-series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The designers gave the exterior shape a strong sense of volume. with a wide shoulder width and a smooth silhouette. In front. the Versa sedan features Nissan’s new signature grille design (with chrome surround on SV models) and clear lens headlights with jewel effect reflectors. The front-end blends smoothly into the cabin. which offers flowing curves. while design elements such as the shape of the trunklid help give the Versa sedan excellent aerodynamics. including a low coefficient of drag of just 0. 31. The indented roof panel in the middle of the Versa sedan’s sweeping roofline is not just a design feature. but a functional innovation that helps reduce the amplitude of the roof panel vibrations in order to create a quieter cabin interior. and a Euro style “shorty” antenna on the roof adds European flair. Other notable styling touches include chrome door handles (they are just painted on base model Versa’s) and bodycolor mirrors and splash guards for a monochromatic look. From its smooth aerodynamic lines and gentle curves incorporating design elements from Nissan’s own pricier Altima and Maxima sedans. the Versa looks handsome from any angle without being flashy. As attractive as the Versa is on the outside. the inside is just as nice. Get in and sit down in a bucket seat that feels supportive yet comfortable for a 12 hour drive. Set the 6-way adjustable seat to the perfect driving position with the seat height lever and the recline knob. and the then grab the wheel and adjust the tilt steering column to achieve complete driving control. Notice how the cruise control switches are just a fingertip away. Next. look ahead at the dashboard with the Fine Vision™ instrument cluster trimmed with chrome rings and how easy the gauges are to read. Now glance at the center stack and see how simple the radio and climate controls are to operate. Look right and left at the chrome and titanium accents on the dash. and steering wheel and at the premium cloth upholstery with a graphic pattern on the seating areas that have a textured finish for better air circulation. Not only is the styling beautiful to see. but all the textures have a rich feel and look and all the switchgear have a precise soft touch action. From the weave in the seat upholstery. the textured graining pattern on the dash and door panels. or the layout of the knobs and switches on the dash. everything looks and feels like it came from a more expensive car. This Versa SV is fully equipped with all the desirable safety. comfort and convenience features and equipment including: 1. 6 liter 16-valve DOHC engine Xtronic CVT™ automatic transmission Traction Control System (TRAC) with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) stability program Air conditioning Power windows with drivers 1-touch express down Power door locks Cruise control Remote keyless entry AM/FM/CD stereo with digital clock Auxiliary input jack for external devices Roof mounted Euro-style shorty antenna Tilt steering wheel Steering wheel mounted cruise control switches Back lighted switches for power windows. door locks and most dash buttons 6-way manual drivers seat Reclining front bucket seats Premium cloth interior with graphic pattern textured seating areas Embroidered carpeted factory floor mats Electroluminescent style Fine Vision™ instrument cluster with 140 MPH speedometer. tachometer and two trip odometers Trip computer with displays for instant and average MPG and distance to empty Center console with two front and two rear cup holders. storage bin. 12V power outlet Front door panels with cup holder and storage bin Tinted glass Clear lens headlights with jewel effect reflectors Fog lights Intermittent windshield wipers Chrome grille surround Chrome outside door handles Body color splash guards Dual power body color outside rear view mirrors Remote trunk and fuel door release 15 inch wheels and tires Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) Trunk light Lined trunk lid interior Battery rundown protection Rear window defroster Dual front airbags with advanced dual-stage and dual-threshold technology and passenger sensing system Front seat side airbags Side head curtain airbags Front seatbelt pre-tensioners Child seat anchors (LATCH) system Emergency interior trunk release 4 wheel anti-lock brakes Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) Brake Assist (BA) Electrically assisted speed sensitive power steering And many more items too numerous to mention.

If you are serious about buying a current model super-low mileage Versa in general and an SV model specifically. this is about as low as they go because of the salvage history. Remember. you can get a great deal on Ebay with prices sometimes way below retail. but no bidder is going to “steal” a vehicle and no seller is going to give one away either. And since 2012 is the first year of the new redesigned bodystyle Versa sedan. its the best value since it’s identical to a new 2015 model. but being three model years old. the majority of the depreciation has been absorbed by the previous owner. yet the car still looks and runs like new. What that means is you can own a car with the looks. style and prestige of a brand new Versa for a fraction of the cost. If you are looking for Versa in excellent condition at a low price. then this car is hard to beat. Also remember that we don’t charge dealer processing fees or document fees that many other listings have for $200 or more and bury in their fine print.

Especially those auctions that are private listings where it says “User ID kept private. ” Also. because my reserve is close to the Buy It Now price. don’t think that you will get a much better deal if you just keep bidding it up instead of using B.
