Sleeper!?! ... far from it. The day I bought and drove it from Makati to Q.Ave, I got challenged twice on EDSA by two Honda Civics to a street race. Flooring the gas pedal, I showed them that this car has the go-power to match the looks.
At the mod level when I sold it, this car eats Civic SiRs as midnight snacks since I have raced a few of them during my midnight sorties driving this car.
It really looks "angas" with the carbon fiber hood and trunk-lid. The gram-lite style alloy wheels and advan neova tires also show serious upgrades. I toned down the "angas" look a bit by installing my custom free-flow muffler with a simple two inch straight exhaust pipe. Never liked big exhaust tips anyway.

Oh. I didn't see the rear end.
Your car's way far from others, though.
Those who run tintless. Those who upgrade the seats to bride ..... copies. :hysterical: People who color their car to candy red tone. Nyahahaha. And install several CF stuff, even the gas lids are turned into CF's.
SiR's ? Hmmm ... how many HP does your car have, if you don't mind.

My car: original seats, original blue paint, tinted glass (different tone for front and rear door windows), no tint in front windshield. Heck, even orig steering wheel. Orig Super Touring body kit minus rear spoiler (had it removed when the carbon fiber trunk was installed).

January 15th, 2011 01:42 AM #362004 - 2006 Sentra?? Seriously * 200k??? Wow!!! Maybe the 2004 models I saw in Sulit are a bit overpriced..
Most 2004 models I see in Sulit is priced at an average of 225k - 235k, and 2006 ones are priced 330 the least..
That's why I am really interested in the b14 series 3 since you don't recommend the fuel efficiency of series 4 (98 - 00 models).
I'm not after the looks. My top priority is a fuel efficient car.

The prices posted is higher because of the margin for negotiations. You can knock off as much as 20% (sometimes even more) before buying.
So a car with a posted price of P225k might be finally sold at P190k or even P180k if you negotiate right.

January 15th, 2011 02:45 PM #38Thank you very much Sir GH. I really appreciate your help! If you guys, let's say have 150 - 200k, what would you buy?
A 95 - 97 Nissan Sentra Series 3? Or 2002 - 2004 Nissan Sentra GX?
Assumming the previous owners have taken good care of both cars.
I would appreciate all your inputs guys! I really want to buy the car that will be the most worth for my hard earned money.

Choosing between a 13-15 year old car or a 6-8 year old car. I'll put my money on the 6-8 year old car if I would be using it for basic transport duties where running costs and dependability is more important.
If I was going to choose a car to be a toy-car (modifications for speed & performance) the B14 Sentra would be the preferred platform because it's cheap to buy, lightweight and parts are still plentiful. "Toy-cars" dont have to be practical.
BUT if you want a slight mix of dependability & fun, the 95-98 Sentra Super Touring or GTS models aren't too bad IF the previous owner has truly taken good care of it. Good place to start looking for such is the local Sentra clubs. The current owner has to move on with his life (kids or work) and his beloved ride needs to be replaced with a more practical vehicle (AUV, SUV, VAN) for the needs.
Just remember that even with the best care, these are just machines and they were designed only to last a certain number of years. Parts that normally don't fail will start having problems. This is why I will strongly suggest the less older car as your primary option.Last edited by ghosthunter; January 15th, 2011 at 04:54 PM.
