I have 2006 Sentra (~111K on the odometer). For a while, we were thinking of replacing it but over a period of 2 years, got some work done. That has improved the car really well for local errands. So we plan to keep it as long as there is no major expense. We will be finishing car payments for another vehicle in 2 months. Would love to stay without any monthly payments for a while.
The struts were leaking for a while, replaced them with Gabriel Readymounts. The wheels were bent to the various degrees, replaced them with the steelies. The tires were crappy, replaced the tires too. None of this has improved the ride quality though. I asked the mechanic about the ride quality and he thinks that the car rides reasonably OK for what it is. Recently, got a chance to drive someone's 2005 Sentra. The ride quality was remarkably different. At the moment, I feel every variation of the road surface with high fidelity.
What else would you recommend me to get checked?
