The more I read this forum the more I fear that my purchasing my 2001
Nissan Sentra GXE, 1.8 L Eng. may have been a mistake !!!

Are there continuous problems I should be looking out for ? Should I sell
before I get in too deep ?

Any advice would help.

everything is going well. The Sentra and the 1.8 are generally reliable.

You might want to read some other car groups.

I only buy Sentras for City travel and for my tight budget. I wish could
afford feeding Ford MustangConvertible but too much gas, so I rent
high-performance cars for a few days on vacations, otherwise my home horse
are Sentras and alike.
I owned 1992 basic Sentra and through the years currently ended up with
"2004 Sentra 1.8S" with multiple upgrades, notable Aluminum alloy wheels
which further improved already excellent gas mileage.

Reliable, no problems though I admit my model is better than yours obsolete
GXE. Nissan changed labeling system since 2002, no more GXE, Se, etc. only
engine type and S or no S, e.g mine is 2004 1.8S. (1.9 liter, delux
trim/entertainment package/power windows/doors/etc version comparing to
basic 1.8).

So comparing to others in its price range, a very good unit, I paid $14K and
have seen my model now going at 11K!!!!!

tHIS IS A STEAL 11,000 NOT LEASE, BUT PURCHASE AND YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A
STUDENT OR OTHER CRAP, AND NEW!!!

and my sister-in-law also have Sentras but much newer. My younger sister had
one that ran great but had other problems due to being wrecked. All of them
have been good cars. Seriously, go take a look in the Ford or Chrysler
newsgroups. It will make you feel better.

Oh Lord, 1992 and 220K miles. Please wreck it, it causes air pollution and
eats fuel.

Actually, it is fairly easy on gas and doesn't even use a quart of oil
between changes. It probably has less emissions than a brand new SUV. It
definitely uses less gas than one.

Yes I had it (1992), but it's mileage owes to a microscopic size, 1992
Sentra was desined to TORTURE rear passengers - no leg room except for
midgets. My new 2004 model is no compariosn and front end is beautiful,
rear end still Nissan-style (ugly shoe end).

problem was a $35 valve in the engine. Very impressed.

the 2000 sentras were problematic, but are generally excellent after that.

Now those 02 Altimas are another story . . .
