    Series 3 = B14

    Series 4? By this you mean yung N16 Sentra?

    Syempre ang pinakamaganda yung pinakabago, which is the N16. All new body and engines na eh. But I don't think that will fit in a 100+k budget. Which leaves us with the B14 Sentra. Still a very good car. Just make sure it was well taken cared of.

    You can get an Exalta STA for that budget.

    With an exalta you can get all the luxury of a sedan especially for the STA model.

    B13 is a very nice car to have, cant avoid there might be some rust portions but in a minimal stage only.

    B14, in my opinion is the best option.

    Series 4 is the rebagged version of the b14 prior to the exalta model where in the headlights are crystal and bigger taillights.

    The best option is to get the lastest model at will fit within your budget. Try getting the highest model like super saloon, se saloon or super touring.

    Dont you worry about parts since there are still tons of surplus and brand new OE parts readily available in the market for sentras.

    Although the Sentra STA has the most toys... it's also the worst fuel guzzler because of its weight with all the toys. Best would be the Sentra B14 Super Saloon or Super Touring models. Mechanically the same, just having a bit more "aero" kits for the Super Touring model.

    Sentra b13 (series 2) has the best iconic look for the Sentra series. Looks sleeker. Four wheel independent suspension. Downside (aside from the age) is the short front suspension travel. If you lower it, it was bottom out on the smallest of bumps and humps. Rust on the body is rare IF there is no collision damage. Engine type GA16DE = 110hp with side draft style intake

    Sentra B14 (series 3) is more modern. The front suspension issue has been fixed with a longer travel. Rear suspension has been converted to a beam type. Adjustability is limited. Ride is okay. Potential for upgrades is wider because of more modern looking B14 (series 4) parts like crystal headlights and matching bumpers. Engine type GA16DNE = 105hp with downdraft style intake

    Sentra B14 (series 4) is the Taiwan version. Crystal headlights and squared rear taillights instead of the "bar" design. Mechanically about the same with the series 3. Includes the STA and SLA versions. Engine type GA16DE = 110hp

    Ah Exalta pala ang Series 4, hehe. Not used to it being called that. Anyway, I suggest you get the Exalta SLA. You get the slightly more powerful GA16DE with manual transmission as well as all the safety features like ABS and airbags if I'm not mistaken. Its much lighter than the STA so fuel efficiency should be better.
