Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: High priced repairs-i've only had the car for 2 yrs and i believe i'm the second owner. i bought it used. its a 1995 nissan 200 sx se-r with 108k miles and i've had more problems with it than i bargained for. every month it's something new with the car. i'm running out of patience and money getting the car fixed and financially i can't afford another car right now not to mention the repairs on this one. total i've probably spent well over $2000 in the two years that i've had it. most recently, i'm having to replace the clutch and both cv joints, the transmission seal, my passenger side door latch (that all of a sudden decides to work on its own) and my speed sensor. i'm finding myself putting more money into this car than i can afford. two years ago i had to replace the front breaks and the left rotor. last year i replaced the alternator, starter, battery, one o2 sensor (i have two), the catyllitic converter and the linkage with my wipers (thank goodness that was a recall and the money didn't come out of my pocket). i will never buy another nissan again!! i'm spending way too much money just to keep it on the road. i've got new problems monthly and there is nothing i can do about it. this model was only out a few years and discontinued. it's hard finding parts for my car because it has certain parts that are slightly different from the other models, therefore making me spend more money. if i knew that this was a "special/project" car, then i wouldn't have bought it. i'm running out of money to fix this car and i want consumer affairs to know that i'm fed up with nissan and i honestly feel like i should have some kind of compensation for all this. its just ridiculous.*ak
