    Mura yan ah.
    As always the following may need to be checked:

    a) Leaks
    b) Radiator and engine condition
    c) Electricals
    d) Rangkada
    e) Suspension
    f) Aircon
    g) Overheating
    h) Flooding
    i) Interiors

    Bring along a trusted person or a mechanic for the detailed checking.

    a 5 year old car with 80K on the odometer..
    how was it used before? if mostly hiway driving, baka puede pa. but if city-stop-and-go driving, i might be wary..

    i have a Sentra GX '07 with 500,000kms. its still on its original engine and never overhauled.

    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.

    Very nice deal! I'm planning to get one as well, an automatic if I can. Can I ask what did you get? an A/T or M/T and how's its Fuel Economy?

    Hi guys!

    Newbie here. I bought mine last month and im planning on upgrading its accessories. Do you any suggestions?

    It is MT i got for 160k with 105k mileage. There are minor scratches that you wont notice not unless you really look at it.

    I want to upgrade the sound system. It has a standard size stereo and 6in speakers. Im planning on buying the items online and have them installed in an autoshop. But i was wondering if theres a way to have the panel changed just so i can have a stereo with monitor etc? TIA to those who will make time to reply.

    What model do you have? I also got mine few weeks ago and also planning to upgrade same as yours. How was your experience with your Sentra? Enjoy your ride

    I will be using my new Honda Civic next month. To be honest, hindi po ako sanay magdrive or expert magdrive since the last time na, my father bought me a used car Mitsu and I drove it in 1year and 8months pero minsan ko lang po ginagamit until I decided to sell my used car Mitsu and buy a brand new Honda Civic and that would possibly happen by next month. The problem here is, parang bumper to bumper kasi yung road sa edsa, so since na hindi ako sanay magdrive, I preferred to commute a bus or MRT kahit sobrang traffic. Ano ba mas maganda? Will I able to let my mitsu to sell and get a new one or hayaan ko lang tong mitsu na to na nakatambay lang at minsan ko lang gagamitin due to a heavy traffic po?
