    Guys, I really need some help regarding my car, its a 1996 Nissan Sentra EX Saloon, it was flooded and after spending so much for repairs, it still had so many things to be taken care of. Naholdap na sa talyer, hindi pa din umayos, siningil ako ng 14k lahat lahat, 6k mechanical, 4k electrical at 4k parts, so stupid of us, 6k lang una quote samin, after kunin car yun daw babayaran, ayoko na isipin actually dahil manloloko talaga sa talyer na yun. Bukod pa gastos ko sa ECU. Its along marcos hiway, near masinag.

    Ang problema po ng kotse ko ngayon ay yung MAF sensor, sira daw at nung pinakita sakin, putol na yung thermistors so yun, wala na ko nagawa, nakahiram na lang kame sa "kanila"(which is hinugot sa sentra din na pinapagawa sa kanila pero wala pa ecu) gang makahanap daw kame ng surplus, kung wala daw meron sila na makukunan for 5k lang.

    Sorry for ranting, ito po problem ko, wala kasi ako mahanap na maf sa evangelista at banawe, meron sila pang sr20deat exalta, meron din ata yung japan daw, pati sa mga ads dito, ayun ang meron, so tanong ko po pewde kaya yun sa engine ko? akala ko nung una 1.6L sya, after reading some posts here, 1.4L lang pla (GA14DE or DNE). Also, sira din yung panel gauge, ayaw ng speedometer, fuel gauge at temp gauge, pwede po kaya yung pang super saloon? sa ex saloon? yung aircon at fans actually may problema pa, i know dame pa sira kahit ganun kamahal siningil, magiging nobela na kasi pag nagkwento pa ko kung bakit kinuha na namen nung tumakbo na, last resort, benta na nga lang siguro, haha.. thanks to all na sasagot!

    It might actually be better to sell the car as-is and then buy another used car that works 100%. Less headache and potentially cheaper than trying to fix all the flood affected parts of your current car.

    Just compute it and the potential repair bill might exceed the resale value of a 100% working car of the same make/model/year.

    You are in an adverse situation...

    Cut Loss ang tamang desisyon.

    Sell Low... is much better than Reviving it costly.

    Take GH's advice.

    Same suggestion sell it . You can find a lot of second hand car that are in good condition.
