need some help

[bdp07]

I have been looking at a 02 Nissan Sentra Spec V for a little bit now, and I just wondering if you guys could tell me what there like. This Spec V has 60356 miles on it and it drove really good when i test drove it. The only thing is the factory head unit is stuck on AM radio But i was wondering if the was any major problems that I should know of before I buy it.

Oh yea all of the recall problems have been fixed.Thomas

anyone

well if recalls have been taken care of then its good to go. they're pretty decent cars. if i could i would definitely get one. there's alot of aftermarket potential for them. i guess all u would have to do is locktite the butterfly screws.

Now how bout the price. The guy at the said he could sell if for 6500

well i've got a 00' gxe and i got it for 7000. had a/b 65000 miles. compared to my deal, thats more power for the buck.

[bdp07]

yea....do they have all that much power... i didnt get to really get to have a feeling of it with the test drive? and the handling?

my car comes with a 125 hp stock. a spec-v comes with 175hp stock. 50 hp difference. this car can be quick with a couple bolt ons like intake, header, exhaust. you could also go the turbo route. suspension wise, it handles great for stock. there are many aftermarket suspension kits out there though if you're thinkin' a/b upping the boost.

175hp is so-so, but the torque on the SE-R was unrivaled by competitive cars of those years. This also means there's a fair amount of torque steer, but it's decently controlled by the limited slip.

As far as handling, the Sentra/SE-R line has been known for years as one of the best handling FWD sport-compacts out there. The 02-06 SE-R had the same slalom speed as a WRX even though the WRX obviously had a lot more grip to play with given the AWD. There is a slight bit of lift-throttle oversteer available, and a couple of minor suspension tweaks will make the car an absolute blast in the twisties.
