@@corpuzone I prefer my 03 GXE, body wise. Now features...the new gens win there!

Thank you for watching!

Glad I could help!

what type of maintenance

@@m.mmiirr8799 Mainly 5,000 mile oil changes and if it needs a dollar spent on her, spend it. :)

Thats reassuring to know. I recently bought one too and it's been pretty good besides the fact that I haven't been able to find to starter relay. Would you be able to enlighten me where yours is? Even with picks it's confusing because I've checked the fuse box inside the car and the one under the hood, but can't find it.

I’m looking at a 2012 that has about 174k miles. The high mileage worried me but if the oil and maintenance has been maintained regularly, do you think this can be a good purchase?

@@marliquemusic1656 Not sure about "The Newer" 2012s but I sure love my 2005. Keep asking other sources.

Congratulations on your new car! I hope it works out great for you, and thanks for watching!

Be prepared to replace transmission by 100k to the tune of $4000

I just got bought a 2019 sr I’m scared

@@willywonka6252not for me

how is it going now? any updates?

So I should slower warm up to start catching speed?

How many miles when i before it needed changed???

Nissan cvt strikes again….😅

CVT HAS NO GEARS AT ALL, I HEARD IT MIMICS THE GEARS, BUT ITS BASICALLY UP & DOWN FROM SLOW SPEED TO HIGHER SPEED, THAT'S IT.

Thank you!

We are looking at getting a 2015 SV with 58k miles, the CVT really concerns me so I am thinking of getting a warranty from maybe endurance

Not a bad idea, just make sure the warranty company is reputable. I am not familiar with Endurance

@@CarDietrich any that you know of?

Honestly no, all of my extended warranty experience is with OEMs. I'd just advise you to do your research on it. You could even call a Nissan dealer and see what sort of warranty they would sell you for it.

Solid point. A lot of times reliability is down to how the car is driven and maintained

Thank you!

Hard to answer that question strictly based on that information, but what I would recommend is checking the CarFax report to make sure there are no reported accidents or other issues, paying to have the car inspected by an independent mechanic to make sure there's nothing wrong with it, and comparing prices to similar vehicles in your area to make sure the one you're looking at is in line with market value

Honestly, I wouldn’t buy a car that has that much miles on it even if right now is “good conditions”. It be better to purchase a car with less miles so you may get more out of it and still on “good conditions”. Heck those $6k-7k would be better as a down payment for a better car than the one you are considering right now. I do agree always have the car be inspected by a professional mechanic before making any purchase on a vehicle to give the ultimate o-Kay. Good luck ! And remember cars lose value not gain unlike houses so honestly a 2014 car with 92k miles is quite high price not worth it. Save your money and buy something else better that is worth it. Especially if you are trying to have a car for a long time.

@@ayoubo4880 the one I’m trying to buy is a 2015 with 78k miles for 8500$ you think it’s worth it? Because I don’t think I can find another car like this, that has a low mileage. From the pictures it looks to be in amazing condition

How is it holding up

@@ibrahimsakr7461 So far the car is holding up ok, normal wear and tear, had to replace the door handle on the driver side and looks like I may have to replace the door handle on the passenger side now,, with extended warranty I should only have to pay $100 which is alittle much but it is what it is..

As always, it's hard for me to say without being familiar with that specific car. It sounds like it could be a good deal if the car is in good mechanical and structural condition. If you can have a mechanic inspect it to make sure it's in good shape, that's always a good thing to do.

Thank you I will do that

Good luck!

A 2019 Sentra could be a great used car to buy because that was the last year of the old body style, so all the kinks had been worked out by the time it was built. But every car is unique so make sure the car that you are looking at has a good service history and check out the Carfax to see if it has been in any accidents. If you can have it inspected by an independent mechanic that's a great thing to do as well, to make sure you're buying a good car.

Dang Enterprise is keeping cars up to 54,000 miles?? There really is a car shortage out there, they used to always cycle them out at 30k

It wishes it did

The Nissan Sentra could be a very good choice for a first car. Right now supplies of all vehicles are limited, so if you find a clean Sentra at a good price you might want to just go for it.

@@CarDietrich i found a 2016 sentra with 69k miles at $12k, i’m a college student and this will be my first car to make payments on. should i just go for it ? i need a new car in the next couple months

@@CarDietrich what about the mileage on it??

@@CarDietrichwhat about a 2013 Nissan Sentra 2013 139k cost $3’500

@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 heck no anything above 100k miles ain’t worth imo

According to a very quick search on Kelly Blue Book, that may be a little high on the price depending on what package the car is. But KBB can't sell you a car, so the best advice I can give is search the local area to see if there are similar cars for less (or more) money to judge the deal you're looking at.

@@CarDietrich what about for 8500$ is it worth it?

They can be. 2013 was the first year of the new design, so the newer the better, and of course each used car is unique, so they should be inspected and considered on their own merits based on service records, any accident history or other negative issues, etc.

@@CarDietrich ok. I heard that the Nissan sentra you have to replace the transmission fluid every 30 000 km. Is that true?

From what I can tell, the factory only recommends that the transmission fluid be inspected every 30,000 miles (not kms), unless you are towing with the vehicle (which you probably wouldn't be in a Sentra), in which case you should replace transmission fluid every 60,000 miles. x.nissanhelp.com/service/2013_service_guide.pdf Personally, I'd do it every 60k-90k miles just for good luck.

@@CarDietrich okay. Then I might get one

I don't have much to say about odometer rollbacks, except to say look at the CarFax report closely if you suspect odometer fraud on a car you are looking to buy. Good luck!

Your look is hilarious saying that

@@4ArchieLee she the type that think 5’11 is short

I'm sorry I don't understand your question, and unfortunately I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure I could answer it if I did...

Unfortunately I'm not a mechanic, and based on that description I wouldn't want to make a wild guess as to what it wrong with your car. I would advise you to take it to a qualified mechanic to diagnose the problem.

It comes out the side, since it is a transverse mounted engine the intake manifold is right at the front of the engine compartment

But did you change the transmission fluid tho 🤷‍♂️

@@freakinA10202 No! But, I do now after paying $4k to have it rebuilt!

@@trottersjr thats your mistake. You gotta change tranny fluid every 30k miles

Nobody tells you this shit when you are signing for it.!

@@freakinA10202 hi. Saw you're comment, how many miles do u think the car (Sentra) needs the replacement of CVT transmission fluid? Thanks in advance

You'll be fine

Did you try a transmission flush before all that?

@@aaronyanez7349 no. After taking it a transmission shop and then not being able to figure out what was causing the issue they suggested I take it to a dealership, they said it was a TCM sensor or something like that. It was good for a week but then the same thing Happened again. Took it back and they said it was water in the taillight. ($330 to replace ONE taillight) after that was replaced. *knock on Wood* issue hasn’t Happened again

Wait they said your tail light had water therefore is the cause of your car problems??How is that even possible? When it seems the issue is more relate under the hood. Shoot I be checking the throttle, replace if it is necessary heck relearn procedure to the throttle , check spark plugs, air intake boot for air leaks. Absolutely anything that makes your engine weak not get scam with condensation on your tail light. Get yourself a scanner and check it for yourself.

@@ayoubo4880 it wasn’t just condensation, it was actual water. They said the water affected the electrical. But before I took it to Nissan I had took it a transmission shop and Goodyear and had a friend come over, he used his scanner but never got back a code at all. they couldn’t figure out the issue but since replacing the taillight with the water it hasn’t happened again

Is your transmission CVT or automatic? I’m thinking of getting an automatic because I see a lot of negative reviews from ppl with CVT

Even if it’s automatic transmission?

What’s proof buddy

I own a 2013 and 15 sentra

​@@jhonsonmojica9061 piece of junk but you bought 2 anyway 😂

​@jhonsonmojica9061 I heard from my mechanic to avoid those specific years for the Sentra. Other than that, they are a decent economic car

You must either have a heavy foot or drive in super dense traffic. That or your sentra is just uniquely horrible. I'm getting a 2015 sentra tomorrow from a family friend and it gets 33mpg. The specs on a stock 2015 sentra are 30 city/40 highway. That's definitely not normal. My shitbox 09 dodge nitro gets 12 and it's a 3900lb car with more issues than anything I've ever seen on the road. Take your car to the mechanic that's not normal you're probably driving a safety hazard

You gotta take care of it, and it’ll take care of you.

@@TheChurchIsLikenUntoTheMoon i agree 100%

No disagree probably haven't even drove it before smh💙💙💙its a Japanese manufacturer

With the CVT transmission you need to change the CVT fluid and filter every 30K miles and then you will not have transmission problems

@@justinh5076 is the fluid and filter the same as the oil change? Or they are different things ? Sorry I’m new into this.
