Hello,

I have stumbled upon a 91 Sentra SE-R with high miles (180K) for $350. It runs and drives but has a bad wheel bearing in the front. I took it for a spin and it drove well enough for such high miles; it could probably use a tune up since it idled roughly and seemed a bit down on power for a SR20 (I have driven an NX2000 before.). Its got a bit of rust on the rear quarter panel. The engine also sounded a bit noisy on the top end but again, not too bad. The brake light went on and off a couple of times and the handbrake didn't work.

I have had several Datsun/Nissans and have always had good luck with them. I also like to work on cars for the fun of it and have always wanted an SE-R for some reason. Does this car sound like it would be worth the trouble of fixing up? My plan would be to use it for a winter beater and then strip it down, put a cage in it, and rally it. Good idea? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, jro

Are you kidding me? $350 and you have to ask if it's a good deal? I would advise you to snap it up before someone who read this message does it himself. I wish I could find a deal like that myself. Any running, driving SE-R under $1000 is quite a deal.

Grab that baby! No matter what you can't go wrong at 350.

I think that would be the best $350 you will spend on mods.

$350! that's a very good deal, to ask if you are to purchase an se-r for that price is a sin:eek:

I think you should stop...and think...




about how you should pay: VISA? Check? Cash? :D

That's a piece of crap car. Don't buy it. What is the owner's number, so I can call him and yell at him for trying to rip you off :)

I love the humor in this forum.:p

Jump on it bro!! every problem you listed was fixable without spending a ton of money. The brake light flickering is probably because it is low on brake fluid. It probably has the EGR problem which can be fixed by doing a little cleaning.( that causes rough idleing and hesitation) The rust is the biggest problem but all in all it is a very good deal. Sounds like you found that baby a new home & you have come to the right place. Buy it and come back and we all will help you get her straighten out.

Welcome to the Forum:)

to tell if its a good deal im going to need an address, not yours but the possible sellers.... also i will probably need a phone number to question on the other faults of this car... do not attempt to purchase .....

lol dude you better grab it :D

The overwhelming positive response has pushed me over the edge. I put $20 down and will pick it up tonight. I have already ordered the new wheel bearing parts and a fsm. Another deciding factor was the amount of useful info there is for this car on the internet. I'm already reading up on tune up tips and I didn't pick it up yet! Should be a fun project! Thanks again.

We'll be seeing you A LOT around here, I imagine, from now on.

Congrats, best $350 you will ever spend....:D
