Sorry to hear the news...pinstripe=bleaghghh. If it's any consolation the car should be good for many many miles. I have 1991 SE (no R

) but it just turned 183,333.3 yesterday (which is 100 k and 5/6 of the way to another 100 k) and no major probs, just maintenance. Though I should mention that it is currently leaking a little bit of coolant because 4 mo.s ago I lost my AC belt and it took 2 others with it, and the dummies put the belts on too tight so it screwed up the water pump. But it's not the car's fault. (Bad dealer - no biscuit!!!) I see B13 Sentras around town all the time with abt. the same mileage and they all look to be doing well. Anyway, your spec V will give you many happy miles. I am jealous. And make them remove the pinstripe for free. Heck, they should refund you for not telling you about it. (I can say heck and not be a hick because I'm in Utah.) (And yes, I am parentheses-happy.)
