I'm looking to purchase a 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE with a little over 120K miles on it. My main questions are...

1. How good is the car over all
2. Any problems I should look out for Mechanically or Overall

I'll be needing this car for work (something economical) so reliability is a major factor. I have never had much "Nissan" Experience so an advise would be greatly appreciated...

if you can, find a 2000-2001 sentra se. you have sr20de reliabiltiy, and the car seems no not have any problems.

the gxe is known for head gasket problems, and if you have an 02 sensor problem, you get to have fun finding out which one it is, as the gxe has 4 of them. yes i said 4.

other than that, they are reliable cars. do regular maintaince (oil every 4k, brakes, fluids and belts) and it'll last for a long time.
