    In buying a 2nd hand car, always get the newest one you can find out there. The B13 Sentra ECCS is a fine car. Its got good handling- the last one of its kind to feature four wheel independent suspension. As well as a strong engine, which has a very good power-to-weight ratio due to the smaller body compared to others of its class. But the design is a bit plain and interior is cramped. Also, try to avoid the A/T if possible as it saps up quite a bit of its performance and makes for heavy fuel consumption.

    Get a the best maintained unit as possible. For your budget, that is the best choice IMO. I would suggest you getting a manual though.

    click the link on their review of the Sentra. The test vehicle is mechanically identical on the Sentra that was sold here from 92-94, yet ours have better equipment and appearance. HTH

    ooops, sorry that unit had a non power assisted steering and 4MT. Local SS models have 5 speeds and full power amenities.
