I've done it again....

Well, just barely 3 months after the demise of my pearl white 4th gen SE (5 speed), I've put my money down on yet another new(er) vehicle....and yes it's a Nissan!


- it has four doors and 17 inch wheels
- it has a six speed (manual) transmission
- it'll go 0-60 in less than 7 seconds
- according to the mags, it'll pull 0.88g's while cornering before the tires give up

While I'm really enjoying my little red 200SX SE-R (now for sale - details- make me an offer), this newer car has 180,000 fewer kms, has been meticulously maintained and is selling for about $4-$5K less than what it would sell for on AutoTrader. To top it all off, the car also has had headers and slotted/cross-drilled rotors installed.



Any guesses????

The new Sentra SE-R?

Vic Simone's recently aquired Sentra SE-R?

DING!....DING!!...DING!!!

Hold your votes, ladies and gentlemen....we have a winner.....


.....actually, it's a SpecV....with the Rockford/Fosgate sound system....

Saw it a while back, it was a really clean looking car. Sounds like you got a really good deal.

Didn't Vic purchase that vehicle to rebuild it from scratch and turn it into a track car?

Nice!

I'm excited for some of the TMEC OG's who are getting new(er), fresh rides. I remember this time last year, I was car-shopping too.

Niiice!

...yes, it's the same one....but the guy who was going to buy Vic's 200SX race vehicle backed out of the deal and Vic's been unable to sell the 200SX........so in order to pay for a few upgrades on the 200SX, he sold me the SpecV.

....thanks, Will. Good to see that you can (finally) appreciate that a 4-cyl car might be a good way to go (and as you know, I've always be more about "go" than "show".) The truth of the matter is that the only car I've owned since 1978 that wasn't a 4-cylinder was my Maxima.

oooooooooops.....

Why is it that I cannot seem to get my links to pics to work properly????


....anyway, some pics of the new ride can be found here - SpecVpics - for those who might be interested

I'm not too crazy about the wheels or the painted calipers...what do you guys think????

....but at least the paint matches my hair colour....

I've always liked the front end of the 02-03(yours) Spec-V over the 04-06. Looks more aggressive, doesn't need any body mods.

Nice purchase Mark.

My friend's uncle has one, and he loves it.

So you are selling the 200, eh? hmmmmm.....

Congrats on the purchase

Did your 4th gen have the Simone Performance decal on the passenger side taillight?

Yes, it did....Why do you ask???? Don't tell me that someone's repaired it and has it back on the road!!!!!
