Hey i'm new and just bought a sentra!

14 days old..
Bought a sentra 1.8S special edition
MSRP was around 17,600 or somethin like that

came with 16inch rims
subwoofer + amps
9 speaker system
6 cd changer
power everything with keyless entry
se-r seats
se-r grill
fog lights
spoiler
slightly tinted windows

i was wondering how much this would be worth in about a year?
cuz i'm thinking of selling it to buy a new car for at most, $1000 loss from what i bought it for, i will say the price a lil later on...

it's my first time haggling and i got pretty ripped off... -.- but at least i didnt buy it for MSRP

also everyone says its a nice car =D gotta love it.. but i need to change the front lights to the SE-R lights... any idea where to get it cheap? even ebay sells for $200

the car will be worth about $5 in a year lol. crappiest resale ever. as far as the headlights for the 04/05, i checked ebay and i've never heard or this company or talked to anyone else that's tried them. i'd say go for it, 200 bucks isn't bad. just make sure you re-seal them before you put them on the car. most of the aftermarket companies don't seal them properly and you'll have condensation pretty much right away

you could have got a spec v for that price. i would say the car will be worth maybe 11 or 12 grand in a year. sounds like you got ripped.

basically you just re-seal all the pieces around the actual plastic part of the headlight with some kind of silicone....with those aftermarket lights i'd be willing to be you stick them underwater you will get bubbles from holes

congrats, and yes, if you paid 17k for that thing, they bent you over for hours.

my 01 stickered at 15,700 and I paid 12,900 out the door, brand spankin new.

Ain't no 1.8 powered sentra worth that much. Hell, i wouldn't pay that much for a spec v!

i just meant that if you put the aftermarket headlights under water, i'm willing to bet they weren't sealed right and water would get in. i would recommend getting a matching color to re seal the headlights (should be black) it's going to look pretty bad with different colors. these are ones you bought from ebay or somewhere correct? if they are from the dealership you don't need to mess with them
