1993 Nissan Sentra XE review from North America
"It is good if you buy it new"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I bought it, had to replace the alternator after about 3 months of owning the car. Had to be a Nissan part because the engine and battery light stay on if you don't use a Nissan alternator - $400.00.
Then at 106,000 miles I had to put front brakes on, and also the CV boots were rotted and I had to replace those in the front. Total cost $700.00 by Midas.
Right now car is leaking oil from the back of the pan it looks like. Not sure what that is going to cost me.
Next time I will buy my Nissan brand new. I think Honda make a better car for now.
