Nissan Newbie

[infinity89]

I have been a chevy guy my whole life but am looking to buy an 03-05 nissan sentra 1.8. Are there any common problems with these cars that I should now about before I buy one so I can be ready for it when it happens? Are these cars very expensive to maintain? Any other info would be greatly appreciated as well. And I did read the Sentra Sticky I was just wondering if there was anything else I might need to know.

i dont know if any one has pm you or not but, i have a 87 sentra wagon and i have had no problems with it and its been in the family sense i was 5 and im 22. other then the common oil change and turn up i dont ever remember it being unable to dive other then the day or two it took for to do like brakes and the common repairs. and you know they say cars only get better with time.

you might want to take a pick at a different car. its inevitable that this car will get a headgasket problem. there is that and the pre-cat breaking up and going back into the motor ruining everything as well.

otherwise, if its all good, its easy to maintain as long as you follow the schedule.
