ur nissan's (200 or 240) reliability

[mark2kay]

have u had many problems mechanically?

where ethey expensive to fix?

would u say as reliable as a toyota etc?

also would it be correct to think of nissan, as actually fast toyatas?

[TurboKA37]

one problem during the 9 months i have had it and that is the starter that went bad. and the dealership replaced it for free.

[mark2kay]

how much was ur 95 240 sx with that warrenty?

or did they just replace it to be nice?

[TurboKA37]

i think it was something like $6200 w/ 1 yr powertrain warranty. we prolly could have talked him down a bit more but it was my dad that was paying so i didnt mind so much. it was in real nice condition and you can tell that the previous owner took care of the car so i dont mind if i overpaid a bit

[Onizuka]

Never had to replace anything on my car. Everything was stock on it when i bought it, exaust and all. Pretty good for a 13 year old car.

[TurboKA37]

also, for price comparison, my car had about 75,000 miles on it when i had bought it. all stock except for aftermarket alarm system

[Chingon]

I had to take the aiv out....but no replacement so far...

[Japican]

o man speak for urselves, ive spent close to 2 g's fixin up my car, altho i only paid 1g for it. biggest fix was doin a motor swap and preppin my car for emissions since i failed the 1st time.

[SienSil80]

I bought mine for $900 and nothings gone wrong yet, well, except the paint, but it runs like a soldier:)

[Rockenreno]

I've replaced a fan belt and the brake pads... and the oil of course My car was $4000Total repairs thus far: $300don't anticipate needing anything else replaced soon, she runs great...

[mark2kay]

keep good news coming

[Touchdown038]

Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but I've spent about a grand repairing my 89. All maintenance stuff though, brakes, clutch, water pump, fuel pump, oh yeah and timing chain.

Old guides were still in at 143k. I'm surprised they lasted that long.

[Morph]

I've just done small stuff like belts, water pump was really bad struts, fuel filter and it died for 2 weeks then just started and never had a prob since.

[95se]

I have a '95SE with 74,000miles on it. I bought it in summer of '97. Since then I have had numerous problems with it even though I have been very easy on it and worked very hard to take care of it. Here are the things that have been replaced:

power steering rack, pumpwheel bearingcrank seal and oil pan sealstrutsstartervent hosebushings in tension rodsengine de carbed last December since then my idle has been abt 200rpms high and gas mileage has dropped abt 2 miles/gl first fluctuation in idle and gas mileage since I've had the car, will have to take it back to mechanic to figure out why.

other curren problems: intermittent AC control lights, no pattern and haven't had them looked at.power antenna just broke the other day (motor runs but antenna does not go up/down)rear diff leaking

no major wrecks, though, its been hit while parked once, rear-ended below 5mph, rear-ended someone below 5mph, two dents, one in roof and another one on rt fender because someone dropped something on my car. I have babied this thing from day one but as u can see i've had bad luck.

Any suggestions on my current problems.

only mods are intake and plug wiresand stereo equip

[Bandit240]

well ive got an 89 240 and i cant even list the problems ive had with it. lets just say ive killed 2 240's for parts to keep one alive

[240SXedUp]

I have a 95 240SX SE. ive had it since october 2002. i got it for $6,500 and it had 65k miles on it. it was in great shape and had a cd player so it wasnt that bad of a deal. ive had it for over a year and the only things that have gone bad are the battery terminals and im currently having a problem with power steering fluid. im very happy with my car.

[Bronze MFP]

little stuff goes wrong, but the drivetrain is rock solid.anyone else have a problem with lug studs breaking or having lugnuts stuck on them?I've had to replace 2 so far in the 6 months or so i've had my car. its gettin a little old
