What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Nissan Sentra
| Price of the Nissan Sentra: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
Car was priced at $13,999 making payments under $200 a month. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
We lease for $250 a month for 24 months and 15,000 miles per year with only $500 down. Payments include tax. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
VERY inexpensive to own & maintain |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
They were pretty darned inexpensive new, and downright cheap used. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Paid $14,000 |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |

| Price of the Nissan Sentra: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
I think this car is slightly overpriced. Though depending on when and where you buy, there is potential for a good deal. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
To get the essential features, you are forced to buy overpriced bundles with trivial value features. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
seems like for 25k fully loaded yu shld get leather and a little bit more thoughtfully tuned suspension |
