common problems with the sentra are easy to fix:
1. Front suspension rattle (actually is the front brake caliper pin---needs machining)---cheap easy fix
2. Hard clutch (goes with time.....as all cars do)---replace pressure plate and clutch lining
3. Hand Brake cables "sticking"---lube it, or replace with new ones
at 80k kms, i dont think there would be any other problems for as long as the car was well maintained.
4. Overheating will never happen as long as both cooling fans are working
5. Aircon will last forever just make sure you install an a/c filter behind the glove box
6. The engine doesnt need a tune up, just change the oil and clean or replace the air filters
7. The rear suspension is unbreakable........it will last the life of the car (except rear shocks).
and believe me, as long as you follow the maintenance schedule...the GX will last you a lifetime of regular use.
