That's a good reason. Exhaust. Cost a whole $500 front to back at a shop to get done. Never mind religious motor problems, or rusted frames or anything

there are just better options than nissans.

I had a nissan sentra 1995 as my first car, motor was invincible, but they were notorious to have alternator. starter, exhaust, rust problems.

We had a 92 4 door automatic that went 315ish K before it broke an input shaft on the transmission and we junked it


Thing was great, needed struts the last 120k of its life and never got them.

Only had to replace the starter, 1 alternator, the mass air sensor and 1 injector in the 270k miles that we had it


Great little car, except the nut that held the throttle cable tight on the top of the motor liked to back off lol, never did put a wrench on it.... Always just hand tightened it and it was good for another 3-4 months. Always thought Ahhh fuck when it would pop off thinking something bad happened lol

I blew the head gasket in my 03 sentra. Decent little car other wise, suspension was really noisy though. Sound and road noise really travelled
