1989 Nissan Sentra ex review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I needed a new head gasket. It's old, you would expect that. I needed an alitnator. The a/c probably needs servicing, but I live in CA so it really didn't bother me. New brakes. Little things due to the age. Nothing really major.
General comments?
I loved this car!!! It's 1989 and it started EVERY time. It broke down once, due to the altinator. That's it. It was a terrific car. No luxury, but it got me where I was going.
