Default Help with a car choice

Ok. I have a car that i am looking at. It is a 99, 4 cyl 29,000 miles and for 14,500. how it the price on this? it is a ex 4door. also, how would i get it up in power for a good price. i was hoping for a 6 cyl but this deal came up and was wondering if a turbo or something could equal the power that i was hoping for? Please help a noobie out. THanks

no dont need any power rammifictaions. I just was looking for a good car that is reliable and has good power when i need. I will never do racing so the quarter mile time is not important to me. Just want to know if i go to pass someone on the interstate i can pull around them and not get hammered buy the oncoming semi
thanks.

What is the GSR? sorry still new.

What about the new nissan sentra ser spec-v, brand new right under 20 and it will have the power you are looking for, i think.

it's not as powerful as you would expect...and if you are gonna pay that price you ought to buy something a little older to save some money and then put the money you saved into giving the car *****...but if you want something quick right out of the factory i would suggest maybe the new maxima or something like that...it's got some tourque for ya and you could do some quick passing in one of those beasts...

The ser is pretty damn powerfully IMO, the maxima is about 8 grand more, of course just getting the se model 6 spd, with none of the options. If this guy wanted to spend that much more then i would have suggested something else.
