Depends on the condition. At this point, the Exalta is a nine year old car. You'll have to find out what the previous owner did in terms of maintenance and what parts are new.

If everything is in perfect condition, the Exalta is a great cruiser. Drive-and-forget, get home well-rested. But if it's not, you'll be chasing down electrical gremlins left and right...

Are the nissan exalta parts easy to find?

They're the mostly same parts as any B14 Sentra. In fact, B13 Sentra suspension parts will actually fit. The engine itself remained the same from 1992 till 2000, so parts for that are abundant, too. There are minor differences, yes, but in general, it's easy to find parts... just don't blow a cylinder head...

The only things you'll have difficulty finding are interior trim parts, parts for the CD changer, and other associated electronics inside.

why not? great interior. the best in its class. i understand exaltas came out with a/t only. just beware of units with "tirik" problems.

Er ... only the front suspension are interchangable between the B13 and B14 Sentra models. The rear suspension are different and cannot be interchanged.

Duly noted, thanks, GH. Forgot to mention that.

It would be great if they could be interchanged, though...

* replace damper pulley
* broken center console malapit sa handbrake (interior)
* power antenna doesnt work
* replace disk pads
* replace front bearings (maingay na when at high speed)

so far ok naman overall performance malamig aircon and tahimik engine.
