1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R from North America - Comments

I bought the car at 150,000 miles with no brakes. We replaced the master cylinder and haven't had a problem since. We have drove it up to 181,000 and now the engine is making noise. We drove it for a while with the noise, but now have decided to park it. This is very depressing as it has been a great car! The only problem was with the trunk lock. The lock got stuck so we had to take the mechanism out, seems to be a common problem.

Being the SE-R model, this is a very quick car. The car is comfortable, with a nice design and very reliable. I have had a lot of fun in it and I am sad to see it go. The handling is all right, and it got pretty good gas mileage.

I have a Nissan Sentra SE-R and it is a 1992. It has over 200,000 miles on it and still runs just fine except for that noise you may be talking about. I came to the conclusion that one of the valves was blown. Regardless the car still runs, but it was not advisable. I looked into repairing it at the cost of just over $1000.00. It was a small price to pay when you consider how much a new auto costs. Yes they are great cars and I would say it could easily run to 300,000 miles or more.

One of the big regrets I have is not buying one of these amazing cars when they were available. I tried to look for a clean one when I was looking for a second car, but the examples I found were overpriced and truly beat up. But even when I test drove one example that was abused its entire life, I could still sense the magic. One of the most fantastic rides ever.

I wish Nissan would duplicate this car again, as the current one is simply a poser.

I bought my 92 se-r used with just over 100k miles on it with a great maintenance record. It even handles better than the 2003 honda accord my wife drives!!

Its got 130k miles on it now and I only had to replace the starter on it. No problems: went to the junk yard, and spent $15 and put it back in myself. Everything on this car is very easy to work on from the engine to the suspension. Last 15 years of car development really has gone to stuff like navigation and heated car seats- what a waste.

This car has a good chance of hitting 300K miles and I was lucky to find it in excellent condition.
