1987 Nissan 200SX XE Coupe review from North America
"Best car I ever owned... my buddy for life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door panels are starting to crack due to age.
Brake calipers starting to stick (originals still on the car).
Rear coil springs have started to sag.
Inner fender cover on the driver's side of the engine compartment is rotting out.
Front seats have lost a bit of support over the years.
General comments?
Great on gas (currently getting 32MPG highway).
Regular maintenance has saved me thousands of dollars over the years.
Mostly all original down to parts, and electronics.
Still has the original transmission, engine, and suspension (except shocks).
Very inexpensive to maintain, however some parts are now becoming unavailable through normal channels.
