1994 B13 Sentra SE-R Columbus, Ohio

My SE-R, I bought it because it has less rust than any Ohio B13 I've seen in a long while and it was going to be the basis for an autocross/track day car. Unfortunately the time/money/space calculation is not working out, so it has to go. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/3884628434.html

"Less Rust" than most SE-R's is a good thing...but what rust does it have? Any signs of 5th gear popout? Sunroof work? Doors sag? Air blow cold? How many miles?

Sorry to pepper you with questions. Looks like a nice example of a car that's getting to be a unicorn.

I need to sell this damn Accord.

"Less rust" in this case means the underside is very clean, but there is rust here and there where the paint is chipped. No 5th gear pop out, there is no sunroof, the doors sag, but not too bad yet, the A/C doesn't work (I never planned to DD it during the summer anyway, so I haven't tried to charge it or anything), and the body has 225k, but the motor has closer to 100k.

EDIT: No worries, keep the questions coming!

could be a fun DD, but Michigan road salt would eat it to the bones in 5 seconds....then eat the bones

+Juan for a nice looking example. Makes me miss my white beater B13.

You're add came up in my CL rss feeds. Consider posting in the $2013 forum as well?

In reply to cghstang:

I wasn't going to, because I'm hoping to get close to challenge price for the car, but I probably ought to. Maybe tonight.

And yeah, I suggest that no one buy one of these to DD is a northern state. Most of the Ohio examples are really rough/

The rust to look for is on the inside rear fender wells/strut towers and the rockers in the middle at the weld. If those spots are clean you know the car is in good shape as far as rust goes.

Everything else that goes bad on these is a $300 (that being the going rate of used transmissions) or less fix.

In reply to jere:

Are these areas I could photograph? I've had this thing on my brother's 2-post lift, it is really nice underneath.

I think I understand what you're saying about the fender well, but for the rockers... what weld are you talking about? Where would I need to be to see it? I have not noticed any rust, but I haven't looked closely at the rockers.

Finally, this thing is attracting no interest on craigslist. Does anyone know where else I ought to be advertising this? I hate to start another thread in the $2013 classifieds, should I request that it be moved there?

Also: GRM discount is $1600, mention you saw it here.

www.sr20-forum.com would be a good place to start.

In reply to ShadowSix:

Yeah easy to photograph, the spot is right under where the back corner of the doors close. You could just take a picture of the whole rockers from under the car and that would sum it up well.

As for places to sell there are the two SR20 message boards that might be worth a try if you haven't posted there already www.sr20forum.com and www.sr20-forum.com

OK, took some photos:
