[evan101]

i can get this spec for 14.5 i test drove it today and was perfict. Only problem is some rust and cursion on the moter i looked at the car fax and there was no reports of it being in a flood or an accident the car is from new hampshire so i think the salt on the roads did it i am posting the link have a look at thei pics of the engine and tell me what u think. Plz help out!

Everything on the surface looks fine but those rust spots in the engine compartment look a little suspicious to me as if it was submerged in water for quite a while. I would be a little leary of the deal.

the dealer sad he would also redo the outside of the block to prevent anymoor damage. Honestly i think it drove the same as all the brandnew spec vs.

Screams title-washed flood vehicle to me. No way in Hell an 07 should have rust/corrosion, salty roads or not. For that matter, salty roads wouldn't corrode the engine bay.

Also the ownership history as being dually registered as a personal vehicle and a lease is odd.

I ran across a lot of vehicles with oddities like that when I bought my MCS in July, and the more I investigated, the more clear it became that something was off.

not only is that a little scary but i just got an 07 spec-v in yellow for 16,875 with only 3,765 miles .. so that price can come down alot more then 14,500 .. because they will only give you about 11,500 for it if your lucky ... but yea the rust is a little more than normal

Nice to see someone here that is from the Florida area. If I were you I would keep on looking for a better deal B/C If it was me I would have to pass on having "rust" on a 07' Sentra. Look on Autotrader and Craigslist and see what you can find there. Allways remember Your the Buyer and not the seller.

Also that is a lot of miles for only being 2 years old. The engine bay as state before should not have that much rust. move on.
