It only has 10,052 miles on it and it is 16 miles from my house. :spitout:
It came out of Sun City on a trade-in so it means it has been meticulously cared for and probably driven only to the store and back. The price is a bit steep $7,999 but hell, it has had no abuse. Might be worth it to someone with only $8K.

I'd pay $5500 for that. It may not be collectible, but it's a clean and honest car. I've always [loosely] thought of the B13 as Nissan's front-drive version of BMW's E30.

What normally goes in the blank space below the vents?

Looks like the slot below the climate controls is DIN-sized for a radio. I'd hunt down an OEM Clarion unit to keep it original.

I guess it would also need a brand new set of tires if those are original.

The OEM decks are so hard to find, took me forever to find a new one -_-.

That's way too much money for what it is. Even considering that I have rust, my methwagon has only 90K on it and was had for $1400. Also, the radio goes up top under the vents.

Do you have to cut a hole in the plastic? It doesnt look like it pops out.

Overpriced, but damnnnnnn.

If that was an SE-R of the same condition I would buy a plan ticket out there today.

It's just a cover plate with edges that hide behind the console plastic. That whole center piece comes off, just like in a 240sx.

I think the original sticker price of that car was not much more than what they are asking now.

The MSRP of the SE-R was $10,700..

Yeah that's steep for a base model like that. I suppose there may just be someone out there that is willing to pay that price though, so I can't fault them for having it that high.

Definitely a worthy alternative to buying a current sentra. B13 is far superior to B16.

Apparently it sold. The dealership took the ad down.

In 4 years, it's an antique. Wow.

Great car... I'll own a 2-door B13 SE-R someday.

Just get an NX2000. All the same parts, handles better, and way cooler.
