new sentra owner

Just purchased a used '00 sentra gxe, not looking to mod it much past maybe a cold-air intake and a few small items. However, I would like to know if there are any issues/problems common with this year/generation of sentra anyone can give me a heads-up on?
Also, does anyone have links to online service manuals for do-it-yourself maintenance? (i.e. changing t-stat, plugs, wires, tranny flush, radiator flush, etc.)
Thanks in advance for any help

i had a 1999 gxe and i beat it to death and it loved me for it. i assume the 2000 isnt much different, tough car. Even took mine mudding a few times and turned some heads by its abilities

Yup, pretty hard to kill a sentra. Watch for busted open CV boots, and sagging door hinges. Other than that, just use NGK spark plugs and never use an injector cleaner, and all should be awesome!

Re: new sentra owner

Thanks for the info guys. Changed out plugs with NGKs, keeping up regular oil changes and planning a tranny filter and fluid change. Kind of surprised me when I found out the fuel filter is "non-serviceable" seperately from the fuel pump, but guess it's not an issue or else people would be complaining about it.
