i used the SEARCH function, and i also went through every page in the sentra forums. and came up with little. its a b13 sentra 2dr manual.

what are some common prolbem with these cars? any thing i should look for? are they sturdy cars (will they take a beating)? what can they do as far as miles? (100k? 200k?)

thanks. and sorry for posting this here. (noone looks in sentra)

Sturdy...holy crap they are like the ultimate beaters (nissan-wise of course). My cousin (female-young) drives one...so does my girl (SE-R).

I knew a girl whose dad had a B13 as a car for work. He would commute to LA regularly. The car had about 400,000 miles on it, put a new engine in at 200,000.

I still have a B12 Sentra that is just sitting right now. I've beaten the hell out of that thing, and it keeps going. I've driven it on roads it was never meant to be on, gotten it stuck in a ditch on two seperate occasions, pegged the speedo at a whopping 105 for miles through the desert. The B12 isn't much of a performance car, but it's what made me fall in love with nissan.

The B13 actually has aftermarket support and good potential. Especially the SE-R. I still want one of those.

Sentra's are awesome cars.I got my Spec V based on the Sentra SE-R's and 200sx SE-R's.

Like any car how it was taken care of will make a big differance in how long it will last.Check for the common things as far as smoke,oil leaks,sliping clutch,ect...

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

the car was PERFECT (except rough exterior, and average interior) the guy replaced everyhing on the car, everything that needed to be replaced, was.the clutch is brand new, and all the gears worked :woohoo:. and the car went to "redline" very smoothly...so i bought it for $900 with a free inspection:D
