Used Car of the Day: 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V
Today's UCOTD is 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V that the author has loved for a long time but must part with due to family needs.
Many of us can relate to that.
This Canadian car has 270,000 kilometers on the clock, a Nissan Z OEM clutch, BC coilovers, Stillen lightweight flywheel, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on NISMO rims, an upgraded radiator, LED fog lights, Nokian winter tires, a roof rack, and the ECU out of a 2005 350Z, among other mods.
The seller says it runs and drives well, though it does have some cosmetic issues, mostly because it is now more than 20 years old.
Click here to check it out. The asking price is $7,300.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Rollin I love the looks. I mean, sure, I look at every car these days and can't help thinking that it'd be great if the rear window belt line were 6" lower, so that the view would not be just of cars' rooflines, but the actual cars themselves. That way my 'brain' could build up a 360° picture of the surrounding traffic, without having to strain, because my eyes haven't really seen any cars, just a bunch of rooflines (most of them gray in colour). And the C pillar could be thinner. Yeah, I really want someone to resurrect BMW 2002 styling from the '70s, as far as that goes. But in a hatch, of course.Also, if it had a hybrid powertrain, or ICE with a planetary gear transmission... Or a manual. In brown, I know...

@Tim Healy - how about some early 80's compact trucks like Ranger, S10, Luv, Toyota etc.?
Not a word about how this generation Sentra folds like a cheap suit, even in a low speed crash? The 1999-2006 models are ones to avoid if you want to keep the car awhile. My sister's 3 year old 2005 Sentra was totaled by her insurance company after it was rear-ended in a parking lot, at under 20 mph.
She couldn't believe it, but the insurance agent said it was policy for that model. The damage always exceeded the estimate once they started repair, so they just wrote them off.
