- Classic red 1989 Nissan Sentra. Wrote off by an insurance company. In this video the car is briefly driven and walked around. Do you like these cool little cars? Did you once own one or still do? Tell me and others about it in the comments below.

“I don’t have insurance”, seconds later “let’s see if I can get it up to 80” 🤣🤣
Ahhhh Nissan before Renault. Good days.
Ain’t that the truth! You nailed it!!
Love these! So I have a story. So in 2004 my mom bought a Nissan Quest that was a total lemon, and they gave us a 4 door 89 Sentra as a loaner car. Had to have been the oldest car I their fleet. It rode way better than the Quest did. This era of automotive history is so interesting to me. 85-2000 foreign economy cars seem to just be utterly indestructible!
That’s a great Sentra story! I’m sure the Sentra outlived the Quest.
That quest had Renault cancer
I had a 1989 Sentra with a 4 speed manual. I LOVED that little car.
I have one right now. 1989 2 door base model in light blue metallic
Looks like you got the sale of the century.

I love this car! If I could I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
That Nissan is bulletproof
Thats pretty clean and original, theyre hard to find now. Good cars and fun to drive, i have an 87 sentra se sport coupe and my friend has a 90 sentra xe sport coupe
Right on!
My uncle got his first DUI in one of these cars lol 🤣. He was in a Walmart parking lot and backed into a Prius. It didn't hurt his car at all, but the Prius was dinted in far. He still got arrested eating some Walmart deli chicken.
I can just picture that! Gotta love the Walmart deli chicken! Your uncle sounds like a fun guy.
I have a '90, still trying to get it running, though. Gotta redo all the TREs and Ball Joints, though. $500 from some dude. Fuel issues, he said. I think Throttle Body Injection is an early version of Fuel Injection...? but maybe yours really does have a carb. Mine's TBI, AFAIK.
Aparently mine is throttle body according to other people that have commented. We haven't got rid of it yet like planned. Our was intermittent having fuel issues as well, put a new fuel pump and other parts on it didn't do much but as of now it cleared up on its own. Best of luck on yours!
These Sentras were not carbureted. They had Throttle Body fuel injection. Kind of a hybrid between carburetor and port injection. I believe the Sentras had a carburetor up until 1988 and only the 1989/1990 models had the Throttle Body injection. The redesigned 1991 models got port injection. I bought a new 2 door 1989 Sentra with 5 speed and owned it for 9 years. At least 150K miles and all it needed was a clutch.
That's what I learned with them. Throttle body is kinda interesting when you think about it. Well put, a hybrid between carb and port injection. This era of Nissan definitely had quality that's for sure, sounds like yours was great.
God bless you and your dad my dad died 17 years ago and I miss him every day
Thank you! Life is precious, you never know what tomorrow will bring. Sorry to hear about your dad. God Bless you as well!
I had a 89 2 door 5speed in high school that I bought from my cousin who bought it new in 89. I was dumb and sold it to get an S10. I missed it a lot and had to find me another after I failed to find the one I had in highschool. Found another one owner 2 door 5 speed and drove it for years. ❤️I was finally getting around to restoring mine. Had the engine rebuilt, got wheels & tires ordered a body kit for it, got it painted. As it was getting the finishing touches done on the paint job a couple of months ago, it was stolen from the paint shop 😞 Had the ol car almost 12 years. Now the hunt is on for another one. I can't let these wheels, tire, and body kit just go to waste.
So sorry to hear about your car! When a car is stolen it is beyond personal, just heart breaking. This would be a good candidate for you but unfortunately it's not a 5 speed.
@@highmileagehopes9860 I appreciate your words. I do have a parts car with a 5 speed in it but I'd hate to take it away from you all. Lol Thankfully, I did find another one and I should be picking it up this weekend 🙏☺️
I’ve always wanted these cars. Especially in red!!!! These are the better Nissans before Renault took over
Yes these cars were a whole lot better than the Renault ones! We haven't got this one a home yet so still have it.
Hace 3 meses compre un Nissan Sentra B12, año 1989. Esta en muy buen estado, por no decir casi nuevo. sólo 1 dueño había tenido y ahora yo. Lo adquirí por necesidad de emergencia para movilización durante mi labor de embarazo etapa final y también para aprender a manejar 😂, pero el manual está todo en inglés 😂, es mi nuevo reto, hay subiré un video cuando aprenda a manejar.
Oh my God these are like one of my favorite cars growing up I remember every time when I was little staring out the window I'd always see these little Nissan sentra's parked where there was a two-door or four-door I remember that hatchbacks too and they had wagons they were some real nice cars back in the day and then I actually got one I only had one for like a year and then it broke down on me LOL I wouldn't mind getting one again
Thanks for sharing!
They also made these as station wagons, super rare!
I just got a 89 2 door Nissan Sentra with only 82,000 miles
That’s sweet! Good job.
looks good!
Your dad is funny. Pretending to jerk the wheel lol. Love your videos. In today's throw away society it's nice to see these old survivors.
nice to see a Sentra i have the same one but 100% original mine is a 1988 auto low miles near perfect i will post another video soon i do have one up in my channel Johnnydatsun cool to see another great video.
Thats awesome! I will definitely check out your channel.
@@highmileagehopes9860 COOL! Thanks Be safe.
These cars are ugly until you realize how ugly the previous generation was.
Birds were generous with droppings. There was a town in East Germany, that made cars, out of bird droppings and cotton, the Trabant.
Oh wow!
Wow 2 door. Here in the Philippines people will get there hands on this one.
This makes me miss my moms Sentra. She had a 2 door coupe in silver. It was a manual.
My car was totaled for the bumper too, its ridiculous
Omg I had a car just like this as my first car
Totaled over a bumper?
Must have been age, I'd think, still a decent car.
I like the old seat belt chime, and also would have wanted the factory radio in it.
Yeah, insurance companies don’t like older vehicles on the road anyway so a lot of the time they are totaled over very minor incidents.
These are the best ones to drive. Could not pay me to drive any modern car
@@hoopty. Drive an 00-06, B16, those are good cars, too.
I love the Biden comment 😅😅
Carbureted? No is fuel injection
I would have a really tough time letting that go, she won't be ever taken care of that good again.
I know what you mean. We still have it, looking for the right person for the car.
Red 89 nissan 4 spd. Finally gave out when the water pipes on the throttle body eroded away. I jb welded those hoses to the tb with no pipe. It was fine for around town driving but my dad took it on long drive out of town and the motor seized
That my first car
This car is for sale currently
Not me ready to cry over an 89 Sentra🥺😞🤦
Built back when the Japanese cars were well made, by 90s they had sorted out Rust issues of some the earlier cars, i would have something like it over ANY modern Rubbish!!!!
I love these and they are so hard to find here in upstate NY especially one with a good ol manual transmission I kind of want to look for one now it's been a while since I've looked.
They are getting rare here in Washington State too. Love the manual transmissions!
How much you willing to sell it for
$1500
Not a bad price
Do you keep these old cars for the collection ?
Sometimes, but it can get out of control at times!
I had a 1995 pupuly blue Nissan Altima I drove from 1998 to 2006 😀, timing chain wore out.
My sister had an 1986 in Mexico was the Nissan Tsuru mk1, then as show it's the Tsuru ll the square one, I have my doubt here was the 1.6 but it was 8 valve SOHC
I dont think its carburetor. If its got a carb its not an 89
Must be TBI then, because it’s definitely not EFI.
@@highmileagehopes9860 yeah tbi. Last year for carb was 87 in u.s.
I worked for a car rental agency back in the '80's and we had lots of those. The interior of that car is so familiar even though it's been 35 years since I've driven one.
It's amazing how some things can come right back to you like it was yesterday.
This is a late comment, but in 93 my mom bought an 89 Sentra Wagon from Hertz when they were selling off a fleet. And she still has it!
I had an 87! They. We're strong! No ovwrdrive though.
My first car was an ‘89 Sentra XE four door. Black
Great video really enjoyed it my cousin used to have one of these back in the 90s watching this video really brings back some memories
I would rather u driving than Biden! Anyway I worked for a car dealership in High School & I had a 1990 red Sentra just like this to pick up parts & for a 5 speed it had some pep! I kind of like this one that my 2015 Sentra because the body was built so much better!
The 5 speeds were definitely it! Great acceleration for sure.
I’m not gonna call the authorities for no insurance not my business
One of the best cars I ever owned. Mine was a five speed. It sipped gas but had enough power when you needed it. Someone rear ended me and totaled it.
Hope you were okay!
@@highmileagehopes9860 Yep, the car was tough too. I bought the 1992 Sentra SER to replace it and that was a great car as well.
I would have put it back together
My brother had a 1989 black 2door nissan sentra stick 4 speed that how I learned to drive 🚗 ty for your videos I enjoy them 👍👍👍💯
Great car to learn in! Thank you so much! 🙂👍
I remember these were so common back in the day. I like the looks of them too especially in 2 door base trim like this one.
Nice presentation and cool car! The new Versa S is actually pretty close to this in simplicity.
Thank you and very nice to know, I saw a 2012 Versa and was admiring its simplicity.
Hey y is it saying your new video is private lol how can it be watched on utube if u are a subscriber 2 the channel lol blessing from ireland
Sorry, I had to fix the video. It is all good now. Thank You!
to reset the 30-60-90k service notice pull passeneger side kick panel there is a button to reset i know this is useless knowledge but i knew something wanted to share lol
I love information like that! Thanks for sharing.
I want one of these so bad as my first car. I intend to keep it for a very long time. So hard to find one in good condition like that.
Best of luck on your search!
I helped a friend swap a CA18DET into one of these here in Australia. Was sold here as a Nissan Bluebird. Very easy swap to double the power but the universal joints in the driveshaft didn't last very long. Great sleeper though, surprised lots of sportier cars!
That’s so cool!
where can i get thei indicator lamps to buy which is on the fender both left and right fender lamps
I would try on eBay or possibly a wrecking yard
Wow man your channel has really grown! Congrats on that, I enjoy all your videos, especially the Lesabre. I love these old Sentras. I used to see a lot of them as a kid, actually.
Thank you very much, that means a lot! I am looking forward to uploading new videos soon.
Nissan for life. I have a Nissan Xterra V6 four-wheel-drive 3.3 L non-supercharged five speed stick 116,000 barely broken in miles still running extremely strong
We had one they are indestructible.
I named my Xterra Xavier and he keeps chugging along
That’s a great name!
I see you have a bad speed sensor because the speedometer does not work lol easy fix on top of the transmission if it’s not rusty but the part cost 200+ dollars from Nissan
Thanks for the info! I think for now a speedometer app will work rather than spend $200.
@@highmileagehopes9860 You still can get new spare aftermarket parts in Mexico from these cars, B12 platform was super popular there, B12 Sentras were called "Tsuru 2", main differences are that Mexican B12's used the Nissan "E" engine at 1600cc (the same used on first gen pulsars). Oh yeah I almost forgot, spare parts are pretty cheap there.
I had a 1989
What the price going to be on this car..thanks..cool vid
Thank you, $1500
Nice 😀
