Used Car of the Day: 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V
Today's UCOTD is 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V that the author has loved for a long time but must part with due to family needs.
Many of us can relate to that.
This Canadian car has 270,000 kilometers on the clock, a Nissan Z OEM clutch, BC coilovers, Stillen lightweight flywheel, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on NISMO rims, an upgraded radiator, LED fog lights, Nokian winter tires, a roof rack, and the ECU out of a 2005 350Z, among other mods.
The seller says it runs and drives well, though it does have some cosmetic issues, mostly because it is now more than 20 years old.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Spectator Wild to me the US sent like $100B overseas for other peoples wars while we clammer over .1% of that money being used to promote EVs in our country.
- Spectator got a pic of that 27 inch screen? That sounds massive!

- EBFlex It’s ironic that the typical low IQ big government simps are all over this yet we’re completely silent when oil companies took massive losses during Covid. Funny how that’s fine but profits aren’t. These people have no idea how business works.

@Tim Healy - how about some early 80's compact trucks like Ranger, S10, Luv, Toyota etc.?
Not a word about how this generation Sentra folds like a cheap suit, even in a low speed crash? The 1999-2006 models are ones to avoid if you want to keep the car awhile. My sister's 3 year old 2005 Sentra was totaled by her insurance company after it was rear-ended in a parking lot, at under 20 mph.
She couldn't believe it, but the insurance agent said it was policy for that model. The damage always exceeded the estimate once they started repair, so they just wrote them off.
