VVL Egg: 1993 Nissan NX2000

The Nissan B13 SE-R and NX Hatch were two cars that received near universal praise in the press and from enthusiasts for being fun to drive and extremely easy to modify.  These models are prone to rust which is the main reason why you see so few decent examples up for sale any more.  Being rare does not always translate into being valuable though.  Today's reasonably priced NX2000 has been modified to excel at autocross, is said to be rust free, and has the tasty SR20VE engine swapped in.  Find this 1993 Nissan NX2000 for sale in Tuckahoe, VA for $3,500 via craigslist.  Tip from Fuel Truck.

1k: Hot Mess: 1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R B13

The B13 generation Nissan Sentra isn't a particularly memorable car in basic spec, but the factory hod rod SE-R offers an oddly fun package.  The combination of a robust and torquey inline-4, good brakes, light curb weight, and limited slip differential puts the SE-R into the ugly-but-good category of used cars.  Find this 1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R B13 offered for $1,000 near Pittsburgh, PA.
