2018 Nissan Sentra>110k miles>buying from dad who fixes cars for a living>$4k>know cvts are have cancer from the factory>he bought it several months ago from the auction >transmission problems because of course>he replaced the fluid and filters >said it didn't have any problems after that>he used it as a run around car>I want something to commute to work in that gets more than 14mpg>test drove it and couldn't detect any belt shudder>everything works, drives perfect>some people tell me never to buy one and some tell me you can get 300k miles out of them of you're willing to change the fluid every 30k milesStill it's a CVT and replacements are expensive as fuck because you can't really rebuild then as the metal shavings from the belt melt everything.Should I? Is this a good deal or is my pops trying to fuck me?
you don't trust your dad?
its a 4k car. if it makes it a year and needs a transmission thats what 4k cars do.
>>29070974Brah and 8 year old car for $4k.That's a no brainer unless its a salvaged title
>>29070977At first when I asked about it he said "I don't really wanna sell you that one because that CVTs are notorious for fragging and they're expensive to replace" and he said he wanted $6k for it but after I didn't want this old buick century he had as another run around he said he'd sell me the Sentra for $4k. "that's about what I would get for it at the auction" So idk.>>29070979I make cheap cars last a long time because I take care for them, I paid $1700 for my 88 deville 8 years ago and it's been my daily. I'm wondering if I can make this last a while (and drive it while I restore the caddy).
>>29070993i'd take the buick desu, has it got the iron duke in it?
