Nici is a 1992 Nissan NX 2000. I've always
liked the NX coupes but back when I originally got bit by
the SE-R bug they were more than I wanted
to pay so I bought a Sentra SE-R. The Sentra is great but
there was always a desire for the funny looking
little coupe with t-tops. After a few Sentras/NXs were
turbocharged I figured out what my project
car would be. These aren't really common so you may have
to look around some. Private sellers
have a hard time selling because the general public doesn't know
what they are. Dealers will overcharge
playing up the "rarity" of them (they only sold them in the US
from '91 to '93). I managed to find
one in town, stock, good shape, low miles, & owned by an avid
autocrosser. He's a waterhead but theNX
was his wife's car. In October of '97 and with $6000 she moved
into her new home :-)
