- Side armrests ripped pretty good.
- Little plug above the back window wiper motor popped out and disappeared.
- Slight rusting above the wheel wells.
- Door lining is loose and pops out at times.
- Lighter doesn't work all the time.
- Windshield cracked.
- Burns a bit of oil, but is easily fixed with a bottle of Durant "No Smoke".
- Cord to plug the car in is not hooked up, but it doesn't need to be cause it starts like nothing.
- Noisy speedometer, and now it doesn't work.
- Fun car to have.
- Good pimping stereo system car (hatchback).
- Powerful on the highway.
- Slow acceleration.
- Sun roof is great but would've been better if it was automatic.
I have a 1987 Nissan 200sx, and LOVE IT TO DEATH! Serious, it is a powerful car on the highway, it even passed my husbands 8cyl Grand Marquis when we took both cars (he follow me and then we caught ourselves racing) from Kentucky to Georgia. It however did need a little work before we took this trip, (electrical, speedometer NEVER worked, exhaust) but none the less it is a car worth having. It even passed several newer 200s easily, I guess out of respect they blew their horns back and waved. My car is a hatchback, with sun-roof, power windows and locks, and both pop-up headlights STILL work! I hope Nissan makes a special edition 200 with the '86-'88 body style.
I own a 1986 200SX. Mostly all original parts (inside and out). I want to know where I can get a new engine and how much they cost. I only have 115,000 miles but I want to put a new engine in it. I have a 2.0 DOHC non turbo, 4cyl, 5 speed manual. I need to find a place that sells after market parts for this car.
Thank you.
