Pointless comment.  He's asking a fair price for the car it seems.  You
don't like the car model, don't buy it, but why be a dick for no reason?

Nissan is notoriously known for making junk, I know quite a few people directly
and indirectly that got screwed when they bought one!

And I know someone who bought a Sentra and got 125,000 miles on it with no
problems.  All that time and distance just gas and basic maintenance.

Your comment was pointless.  You don't want a Nissan, don't buy one.  The
price was fair, and Blue Book does factor in things such as overall
reliability when they price used vehicles anyway.

As I said, you don't want a Nissan, please do identify the person holding a
gun to your head making you buy one.  In lieu of that, you were just being a
jerk.

In the January/February issue of AAA Ohio's "Home & Away," the article "Best
in the Business" appears.  The article states:

"After testing nearly 200 hundred models, AAA selects the top vehicles in 13
categories."

CATEGORY # 1: "Under $12,500 Nissan Sentra"

    "The Nissan Sentra may not dazzle with styling, but it is bigger, more
powerful and more refined than its predecessor.  The 2.0-liter,
four-cylinder engine has been tweaked to deliver 145 horsepower."

No offense, but Steve is dead wrong about the quality of Nissan.

A jerk that warned people that Nissan has a bad track record, and I would again!

I didnt see anything about reliability listed in your claim.
Im not telling people not to buy this car, im just warning people that Nissan
has a proven record for unreliability in the past and a list of problems anyone
on the street can see if they pick up a copy of Consumer Reports buyers used car
guide!
After my mom went through problems many problems with a  Nissan Stanza  that had
low miles and all maintenance records in 1990, and my best friend with his 87
Pulsar NX which also had relatively low miles and kept up with the maintenance
I then bought a Consumer Reports used car buyers guide and found them both to be
riddled with problems for most of the years listed so dont give me any crap
about what is problemactic and what isnt!
Warning people here to find their own information about the company/cars and
make their own decisions is fair game, so get over it already!

                               I'm not an expert on cars, but what I can tell you
is that I've been in two pretty
                               serious accidents in two different Sentras and I
walked away from both of them
                               without a scratch. Forget the crash tests (although
I think the Sentra does pretty
                               well in them), I can tell you from experience that
this car was designed to protect
                               the driver!

                               Overall this has been a great car. We have had
virtually no problems with it and it
                               continues to run wonderfully. We may trade it in
soon only to get a larger vehicle
                               but it has done its job well and I don't really want
to part with it.

                               Overall, this car is solid, dependable, comfortable,
and attractive. For the price, it
                               had the best combination of design and features I
found. It is slow on pick-up,
                               which leads to us using our Civic on road trips, but
it is perfectly suited for a
                               graduate student on a budget.

we have had a Protege, which is

not been as pleased.

                               Overall, a VERY reliable vehicle. I sold it when it
was 11 years old, and it still ran
                               like a champ. I was secretly sorry to get rid of it,
even though I was trading it for a
                               much newer, higher-priced vehicle. The only major
problem I ever had in 11 years
                               was with the brake system (booster and master
cylinder had to be replaced at a
                               cost of approximately 899.00 parts & labor). Another
plus: The air conditioning in
                               the Nissan would throw snowballs at you and was much
better than the system in
                               the SUV I traded it for.

ok mr. blowhard, 
just since I have the CR Car issue (last year's) next to me,
and a spare minute, let's see what they say about Nissans:

under "Used Cars to Avoid"
NISSAN: Pathfinder '96, Pickup 4WD '95, and Quest '96
that's it.

under "RELIABLE Used Cars" (them are the good ones)
Less than $6000: Nissan Sentra 92/93, Stanza 91/92
6000-8000: Nissan 240SX 91-92, Altima 93, Maxima 91, pickup
01, sentra 94-95
8000-10000: 200SX 95, 240sx 93, Altima 94-95, Maxima 92-93,
pickup 92-93, sentra 96
10000-12000: altima 96, maxima 94, pathfinder 91, pickup
94-95

well, you get the idea. lots of Nissans in every price
range, as recommended by CR. Now what were you saying?

lol  thats not how Consumer Reports's Used Car Buyers Guides are setup; they have them
setup to evaluate a particular model and grade the car in several areas from very poor
to very good!
I really would appreciate you not calling me names,  thank you!
