used car of the day 1987 nissan 200sx se

Today we bring you a 1987 Nissan 200SX SE for $21,500.

This one has a five-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks.

New parts include the A/C compressor, tires, timing belt and tensioner, brakes, battery, fan belts, clutch kit, master cylinder, water pump, rack and pinion, and the ECU.

The seller has all the original documentation and service records, and some extra parts to boot. There are only 154,000 miles on the odometer and this one has every factory option. The obviously biased seller even says it's "the best in the country." We cannot verify that, obviously.

Tim Healey

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.

What's with the headrest.? Been noticing this greedy trend lately on any car that is 30 years old in sane condition for the owners to be asking insane amounts.. saw a Mitsubishi Colt just yesterday from 1992 owner asking for $12000.. done 148,000 kms . Just because it had original paint and trim in average condition..worth maybe $1500 as a run about.. good luck..there is always someone gullible these days it seems..

  Rare does not equal valuable. And sometimes cars are rare because they were not very good

I may have the best in the country. 65,681 original mi. Still runs great. Stored inside. I'll accept half of what this guy's asking.

  Respectfully that crowd does not want the automatic ones.

Kwik_Shift_Pro4X As much problems as I had with my '96 Chevy Impala SS.....I would love to try one again. I've seen a Dark Cherry Metallic one today and it looked great.
Susan O’Neil There is a good reason to keep the Chevrolet Malibu and other 4 door family sedans! You can transport your parents and other somewhat handicapped people comfortably and safety! If someone can stand and pivot you can put them in your car. An armrest in the back seat is appreciated and a handle above the door! Oh…and leather seats so your passenger can slide across the seat! 😊Plus, you can place a full sized wheelchair or walker in the trunk! The car sits a little lower…so it’s doable! I currently have a Ford Fusion and we have a Honda Accord. Our previous cars were Mercury Sables-excellent for transporting handicapped people and equipment! As the population ages-sedans are a very practical choice! POV from a retired handicapped advocate and daughter! 😊
Freddie Remember those ads that say "Call your doctor if you still have...after four hours"?You don't need to call your doctor, just get behind the wheel of a CUV. In fact, just look at one.I'm a car guy with finite resources; I can't afford a practical car during the week plus a fun car on the weekend. My solution is my Honda Civic Si 4 door sedan. Maybe yours is a Dodge Charger (a lot of new Chargers are still on dealer lots).
Daniel J Interesting in that we have several weeks where the temperature stays below 45 but all weather tires can't be found in a shop anywhere. I guess all seasons are "good enough".
Steve Biro For all the talk about sedans vs CUVs and SUVs, I simply can’t bring myself to buy any modern vehicle. And I know it’s only going to get worse.
