Car and Driver: "When we drove Nissan’s terrific new Sentra SE-R for the first time last year, we noted that we’d always maintained that there’s no good reason that small cars can’t be as good as big cars. We then went on to cite the SE-R as the best evidence we’d seen to date that something we’d wanted for years—BMW 2002 punch at a Datsun price—had at last become a reality. The names have changed, of course, but you get the point. The entire driveline, from an engine that stands out (in a big crowd) with smooth delivery of power to a shifter that finds gears as if by divine guidance, sends the driver who truly loves the act of driving closer to affordable nirvana than he may yet have come. The Sentra SE-R in our test pack cost less than $13,000 delivered. If you don’t think that’s value for money, we urge you to treat yourself to an SE-R drive. We guarantee you’ll come away a believer." Only minor dings and dents. Over $9,000 worth of repairs performed at local Nissan dealership service department in about the past year. This was my first and only car, and I have had it now for 70k+ miles and about 13 years now! Carpets all shampooed up nice. Small but not especially noticeable crack in dash near the defrost vents. In the picture the dash looks like new. Leather on the steering wheel is starting to show signs of the cars age, but this can be easily fixed. What is most important is that all repairs have been competently performed by the local Nissan Dealership - Firkins Nissan in Bradenton, FL. Ice cold A/C (compressor and receiver drier just replaced this week at no charge under warranty). (Note picture of new A/C compressor). New Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS) sensor replaced at my request (due to repeated A/C compressor failures). TPS sensor turns off A/C at Wide Open Throttle to protect A/C compressor. ($149 part and $122 labor). Brand new water pump also replaced this week at Nissan dealership ($372 labor and $140 parts). New long life antifreeze. (Note picture of new water pump). Gear oil recently changed, along with recently replaced clutch. Shifts super smooth. New spark plugs within past 3 months (Nissan dealership supplied OEM Platinum Tipped Plugs good for 60k miles). Oil always changed at 3 months or 3k miles. November 2012 - New clutch, and clutch cable installed. ($214 parts, and $868 labor). Under warranty until 11/03/2013 or for about another 8k miles. October 2012 - A/C working intermittently. Fan switch replaced, along with blower motor resistor, and amplifier. ($214 parts and $599 labor). May 2012 - New compressor, evaporator, and condenser at 159k miles. ($425 labor and $1130 in parts). April 2012 - New starter motor & new battery ($329 labor and $390 parts). April 2012 - All four fuel injectors replaced at Nissan Service Department, 04/03/12 at 158k, along with new fuel filter, and new right upper motor mount ($642 parts, and $337 labor).

August 2002 - Valve cover gasket replaced by Nissan Dealership. ($176).
Near complete maintenance records available. Mechanical condition is excellent and car has great pickup, shifts great, and zips right up to the 7500 rpm redline.
Driver side window needs repair (won't roll down). I am second owner. Purchased car in around 1999 from optometrist with 70,000 miles on the clock. Absolutely no oil leaks! Only 165,000 well-maintained miles. Premium sound system. HKS Sport exhaust & K & N Air filter. Some parts may still be under warranty as noted. Would make a nice daily driver. Very clean interior.
Installed are Infinity 6-1/2" speakers in the rear decklid, and 6-1/2" Sony speakers in the doors. They are powered by a 880 watt Sony high power amplifier in the trunk, that is ready to power the subwoofer of one's choice. The CD head unit is a Clarion model with MP3 capability and a line in to easily attach an iPod, iPhone, or android phone for tunes.
Missing is the antenna - a replacement will have to be sourced. The rear trunk opens from inside the car using the opener device, but the key doesn't open the trunk as there is an issue with the mechanism. The rear window tint is peeling, but intact.
The car was fairly recently painted, so the paint looks nice. The SE-R and Sentra emblems were removed when the car was repainted, at my request.
The foglamps are not working, but I replaced the lenses. It just needs a relay. I could not seem to find the replacement relay from the Nissan Parts department without bringing the part in. These minor issues can be easily fixed, but I have concentrated on keeping the engine well maintained and in tip-top operating condition.
This motor will zip right up to the 7500rpm in a hurry.
There is a very minor water leak around the trunk. There is some undercoating on the inside of the doors around the hinges to retard any rust. These cars were notorious for rusting profusely, and this is a Florida car so it has actually very little rust for a 1991 SE-R.
Interestingly, the vehicle history report says that the car was in an accident before it was sold to me--before tying to sell the car here on ebay I was not aware of this!
Any questions, to schedule a test drive, inquire about a professional inspection, or to make an offer, please contact me, and thanks for looking!

Nissan will restore Craigslist Maxima, display at headquarters [w/video]
Sat, 08 Feb 2014Nissan showed that it had a great sense of humor when it bought Luke Aker's beat-up 1996 Nissan Maxima GLE for $1,400 back in December based solely on the quality of his tongue-in-cheek sales video.
Aker's Maxima had been thoroughly driven. It needed a strap to keep its hood closed, had front end damage, a missing turn signal and shredded leather seats. Of course, like Aker said in his ad, the car was still "fully loaded with an engine, wheels, tires and an automatic transmission." How could Nissan resist?
After buying the car, Nissan teamed up with MotorAuthority to decide what to do with it. The winning idea was to restore the car to its proper condition and display it at Nissan North America headquarters in Franklin, TN, with Aker's video playing nearby. According to MotorAuthority, the car has finally made it there, and its rebirth will begin soon. Nissan is not sure when the car will go on display.
Nissan exec Andy Palmer derides Toyobaru coupes as 'midlife crisis' cars
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Andy Palmer, Nissan's executive vice president, does not like the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. To us, that's like saying you enjoy barbecuing puppies, but we'll let him slide, because his statements about the Toyobaru twins are much, much more than just idle trash talk.
Speaking to Motor Trend's Nate Martinez, Palmer said, "Do we have any competitors [in the small, rear-drive coupe segment]? Are you talking about the Subaru [BRZ]? It was a car designed for a 50-year-old. It's for a midlife crisis. That's not what we do." Strong words, but what followed was even better.
"Are you coming to the Tokyo Motor Show? You'll see the answer to the midlife crisis. Except it won't be for the midlife crisis." So, if you were wondering whether Nissan is working on a competitor to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, the answer seems to be a resounding "yes."
2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper
Mon, Jul 22 2019The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.
