I've been looking for and I've found a black 02 se-r specV for sale at a local dealer, asking price is $10,880 (negotiable), but it has 99K miles on it, would it be worth financing/buying/taking a loan out on it?

I really want this particular model, and they are hard to find. Anyone with any kind of advice, would help.

Things I'd like to know are:
-how long do the engines on this model last as far as mileage
-are there possible options as far as engine swaps
-anything else that i would need to know about the 02 se-r specV's

 

12 views no tips anyone?

 

i just pick up a 03 spec v with 45k on it and i paid 10,800,but its up to you. if you like the car and you think its worth it then get it.

 

1) QR motors are very iffy. they've been known to have a lot of little things that can happen and totally trash the motor (bolts from intake manifold become loose and sucked into the crankcase, pre-cat material is pulled up in the engine from the exhaust and into the crankcase)
2) plenty of motor swaps available, the B15 has a large enough engine bay to swap a Maxima/Altima VQ35/30 if wanted though the best swap would be an SR20DE/DET/VE as that will more or less swap straight in and can bolt up to the QR transmission so you keep the 6-speed

 

well id say that they're overpriced dont buy the first one you see go shop around unless theyll go down. also as for swaps i have a buddy out here in missouri that has a vq35de swap in his b15 and has a intake and 75 shot of nitrous and he runs 12.8's in the quarter with only those mods. the sr20 does the job but its has no where near as much torque as the vq35 plus the vq35de has 260hp compared to a 205hp sr20det and my friend didnt have to do much at all to run the 12's with his vq35 just intake and a small 75 shot ofnitrous on the stock swap he runs low 13's on a STOCK vq35 swapped b15 so make your choice.

 

i got my 02 with 60k, for 7k...so id definitally try to get that brought down to atleast 7

 

yea i got my 02 blk spec for 8 with 47k

 

dont do it.. man... i have an 04.. and they are bad *** little cars.... but for some reason the motors dont like me.. i have gone through 3 motors.. and all kinds of bull****...

i got an 04 with 50 k on it.. for 10 out the door.. so keep looking dont buy that one if you are going to get one! wait.. and look... they are out there.... just got to find them..

if you want one i got one with a brand new motor in it.. for 9k right now 04

 

i have an 02 sentra and i have just 45k on my car and i bought it brand new so i would talk them down to about 7k or 8k, and if you decide to buy one i have a stereo box for sale that will fit in your trunk at 300-350 dollars. so just holla at me.
