A brand new 93 Sentra.    As ugly as this picture is, the I bought is uglier.  Had been setting for 3 or 4 years, put a thermostat in it, a little gas, fixed the neutral safety switch and it runs like a charm.....for now anyway. Am hoping it will run me for a little while as a gas saver for work commute.
Only has a little over 200,000 on it.

I had '91 & '92 Sentras & loved them (other than needing a REAL overdrive - both pulled way too many RPMs at highway speeds).

Good move IV! Depreciating assets are a drain. There's a good chance your Sentra has a lot of life left. As I post every few months (weeks?) my Nissan truck has 315k and runs great. I haven't had a car payment in 11 years. That's a lot of free after tax money.

I would be satisfied with 315k.

Being the owner of a Nissan Altima (which is paid off) and a Nissan Frontier (which will be paid off next year), I love to see you post this.   

The Altima has 89k and the Frontier has 59k.  And I'm a firm believer in running them until the wheels fall off.

I have a '96 S-10 that I still drive to work once or twice a week just to run it, and it's approaching 200k.

Yeah, I pretty much drive 'em to the wheels fall off as well. I'm almost 49 and have only owned 4 vehicles (2 trucks, 2 cars). My last 2 have been used and I got 9 years out of the first one and 6 and #badword#ing on my current one.

I have a 98 Accura Integra with 198K that I am finally about to sell.  Just bought a 2012 Mustang, first new car in 14 years and long overdue.
