From 1985 - 1991, the B12 – code given to car model, was not as widely exported, apart from the station wagon model. This line is characterized by its squared-off styling, which was very unfashionable in the 1980s. The angular styling was insisted upon by Nissan's design chief at the time and contributed to the automaker's increasingly poor sales of the period. A four-wheel-drive variant was introduced during this generation. Known as Sentra in some markets.The second-generation Sentra was available in a multitude of body styles, including a coupe, a sedan, a wagon, a hatchback and a Sport Coupe fastback. Engine output ranged from 69 to 90 hp, depending on the year. Many of these Nissan Sentras are still on the road, and they have a respectable reputation for reliability and a miserly fuel appetite.
Here in the Philippines Nissan Sentra was first introduced in the late 1980s with two engine variants of gas and diesel engines which sold thousands of units that time. With it’s box type sedan vehicle, the 1.5 gasoline engine became popular to many Filipinos and until now there are still several good units running in the metro.
Today, a second hand 1990 Nissan Sentra would cost you around $661 - $1,207. Still price varies depending on the condition of the car. Not bad for a 17 year old car isn’t it?
