What should I look for

[fritcr]

I'm thinking about buying a 94 sentra 5 speed with a whole lotta miles on it. I think it has like 180k on it. What should I look for...what goes out or gives problems with these cars? I just need something with FWD for the winter and crappy weather when I can't take out my Trans Am. Car looks nice but I have not driven it yet. They are asking $1200 is that to much?

i had a 92 sentra, and hefty miles on it once i was done with it, i really only had a few problems such as clutch problems and oil gaskets going bad, i pretty much owned it for most of its life it would still be running today if i didnt total it.

just look for the usual, oil leaks, odd noises/vibrations, body repair that might have been done, alignment, does it burn oil? does it shake bla bla

cant expect much for 1200 buks if it runs its probably worth it, these sentras are very easy to work on.
