Mas madali alagaan ang LEC kaysa sa box-type Sentra... the earlier boxtype 12 valve isn't as good an engine, while the LEC is parts-interchangeable with almost any Sentra between 92 and 00. Plus, may power-steering na LEC (don't know if you can get it within your budget.)

Scratch the Charade... nice car, but tiny, tinny, and parts aren't that easy to find.

Box-type? Too old. Size not much different from the Pride anyway, so the Pride is a better choice.

I actually think the Pride is the best choice... has widely available parts, and they're very cheap. Not very good on the highway, but okay for driving around town.
