The CVT transmission screwed them….let’s be real lol

Well newer ones anyways. The early 2000's ones were great.

[@deborahlundy6892]

My favorite videos are with you at the auctions. Thanks for allowing your following to travel along with your journey as a small business owner. I really have learned so much from you about cars and how to properly take care of them

[@joewelnack3283]

I would imagine that the POS has the 3.5 engine. The Nissan Sentra is a favorite of mine if it is clean and we buy for rough book. We do nothing but Buy Here - Pay Here, we need to buy these cars with the assumption that the POS transmissions are bad. We buy remanufactured units from Nissan dealerships. Suprisingly, they give a good warranty on these units. The rebuilds seem to be O.K. We haven't had any issues with the rebuilds (seems Nissan figured out how to fix them)..... Tip: Don't cheap out on tranny fluid, used the Nissan brand!

[@omarabunasrah5195]

Easy fix 8/10 on the pathfinder. Deal with them all the time. Armada is a long shot but usually timing chain on those. Deal with these a lot as well

[@niagarajoe4402]

I had a 2007 Nissan Murano SL…I had no issues other than normal maintenance , and a couple knock sensors. For 160K Kilometres …..maybe I got lucky…..but was actually impressed……now I’m just waiting for my 1998 Skyline GTR from Japan! 2 more months!

[@awh3399]

Thanks Craig another great video, and for keeping us updated informed and entertained

[@bat__bat]

3:50 I hear ya, Nissan was crucial for me growing up. When I was a toddler my dad had a Datsun station wagon. My first car was a 94 Sentra 4Dr 5spd with no tac 😅 I raced my buddy's 91 240sx 4spd hatchback and won every time. He could only pass me after a quarter mile AND I had a passenger. Anyway, my next car I got a 2006 Sentra new and it's still riding strong today for a buddy my family gifted it to. It actually rides mechanically at 200k miles the same as it did brand new. 1.8 spec edition. LOVE that Aichi Industries 1.8 4cyl. Undersquare, forged steel rods, iron block, chain timing, fully ECU/throttle by wire, vvti, dohc, 6500 rpm rev. I drove it like a racecar and still got 28mpg. 4 spd, no stick this time, but this car certainly would be fun w a stick. It did need shocks all around at some point, like any car, and it had to get a steering rack replaced from city potholes eating it up. Engine/trans and rest of drivetrain never gave issues. It doesn't consume oil to any notable degree. I think that car will go to 400k+. It's just a very, very good machine that is very easy to work on. Tons of room under the hood, no plastic covers at all. That was the final year of great Nissan Sentras and possibly the rest of their makes. They dropped the perfectly good jatco and aisin auto transmissions they had in everything and went for all out CVT. They've got some good years of certain models, but its mostly shit from about 2007-2018. I always admired the Maxima even into the 10's, moreso than Camry, Avalon, or Accord, but it was a more impressive sedan in the 90s and early 00s than it is in modern era. The newest Nissans have finally reached passable status with the CVT stuff. It's not half bad anymore, but I think the avg cost of maintenance over 200k mi is still higher on the cvts than regular AT. I had a buddy with a 5 speed Pathfinder in high school too. Man all those were great machines you're right. A damn shame they went to an era of crap 😒

[@johnspelman8976]

Auction videos are the best

[@DBMD7]

That Raptor with 3000 miles has Goonzquad written all over it. That’s light work for them and Vtuned. Great video. Some nice finds out there.

[@muskokamike127]

Nissan Pathfinders used to be THE suv to have....you could literally drive them until the bodies fell off and they'd keep on going......too bad nissan went the way of ford: quality is job none.

[@chevelle-pi1bn]

[@CouchMan88]

Learned my lesson with a Q50. Don't buy anything made by Nissan after the late 90's. Only had the Q50 a few months. Fast and good looking but not worth owning especially out of warranty.

[@mrgoodbar216]

I bought a truck with fender flares once and will never do it again. Rotted to hell i had to replace both bed sides but i saved tons cause im a body guy. Turned around and sold it for more than i bought it and fixed it for

[@davemessenger1944]

Buy your used trucks in the South......old but not rotten from rust!

[@BarkingDog-ho6el]

See that would be actual helpful advice. This channel is basically for those with ADHD that are interested in used cars.

[@xotic8617]

The armada has a bulletproof 5.6 v8 so if it has a knock it’s definitely been used and abused extensively.

[@AbcDef-iq4no]

I fully agree with you on how junky Nissans have become in the last 20 years. I have owned several Nissans from the 80s and 90s and these vehicles were very well put together. But that is not the case just like you said since 2003, particularly with dubious vehicles like the Pathfinder and Armada which are lucky if they get to 100,000 miles before the transmission implodes. Other Nissans are just as bad including the Xterra, or even worse the Murano, which typically blows a transmission by 50,000 miles. If I was going to recommend a used Nissan I would say the (A32) fourth generation Maxima (1995-1999) would be at the top of my list, but these are getting pretty hard to come by in good to excellent condition. Of course the hardbody D21 pickups and D21-based Pathinders from the 90s (1990-1996) are tough, reliable vehicles as well but these too are getting hard to find in decent condition. Pathfinders made between 2000 and 2002 are pretty decent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend those as well.

[@jonathanLara1989]

I know a lot of people here have been bashing pretty bad on Nissans but I have to say my 2012 Altima has been super reliable I’ve done maintenance on it like it should never had an issue other than the A/C going out around 100k but it has been pretty good car to me it currently has 168k on it and it still runs really good..

[@andydhillon1977]

I know Nissan quality has severely gone down since the early 2000's but I do wonder if they are as bad as people claim they are. Most people abuse their cars.

[@badtoro]

Nissan is a POS. They have the crappiest transmissions.

[@dcole9589]

My 2015 Xterra Pro4X has had no issues, except for regular maintenance. Is very pampered. 68,000 miles. U take care of it, it takes care of you.

[@michaelv3340]

I was sitting at Sonic recently and an Armada was sitting next to me. The lady started it to leave and it rattled like it was on it's last legs. White smoke poured out, and the lady got it started and rattled away. I have to wonder if she even made it home.

[@dcole9589]

Obviously the Armada had not been maintained. Drive it till it stops.

[@groundserver7935]

‘Not in Joe Biden’s economy! So anyways next week I’m going on a family vacation, flying here and flying there’

[@BarkingDog-ho6el]

[@dawn2788]

Crazy that a dealer would pay that much, from another used car dealer. Even crazier some poor chump customer will then pay $6-7k for those two vehicles. There was a time when each one of those would be only a $1500-1800 auction car.

[@frankportigiano1910]

Craig:::: when the tire is half flat put a can of fix a flat into the tire drive it for a few miles and problem solved I have done it for like the last 10 of my cars even with new tires because alot of tires it's just a bead leak

[@muskokamike127]

Funny about driving your car to Fla then using it for your vacay, when I travelled for business I was in FLA so much I was discussing with my company about buying a vehicle and keeping it in Orlando for me to use while I was down there. One trip I was there for 6 weeks bouncing between tampe orlando and miami. The cost of the rental would have paid for a car for almost a year. The exhibits I was installing would fit into a mini van (sans seats).

[@xscorpx]

Not 2003 on the Nissans, I had a 2006 Sentra that was still running at 326k until 2021. My a to b car. Nothing after 08 is worth a shhh is where I'd say cut the Nissans off except that extra tiny CVT POS. That Sentra was still running, just had collision damage.

[@bigcrowfly]

Get used to seeing more Nissans if you want a Japanese brand late model used car. Is Only one left to do fleet sales that generate late model cars in large numbers.

[@braden_n54]

I have 4 Nissan versas for parts runner cars at my shops , they all have had transmissions replaced but the also all get abused and two of them now have over 400,000k with other then the cvts minimal issues . They haven't been perfect but still better then majority of the other run around cars I give the guys.

[@TheRealMrRoyal]

And if you had got corolla hatchbacks or honda fit's you would have just done maintenance.

[@mikeg3202]

nissans have a flaw with there cats being so close to the manifolds that when they start to breakup it will suck pieces of the cat into the cylinder and it scores the cylinder walls on decel.

[@erichendrickson8319]

In 1999 Renault joined with nissan and the quality went to crap. Never buy a nissan.

Dead season this year

[@muskokamike127]

11:52 that's all because ford puts water absorbing padding around each opening to force people to sell their vehicles due to premature rusting. I bought one for $700 cdn and it had been sitting in the sun in the dry for months and I pulled out the padding and it was dripping wet. There is NO diff in cost between closed cell and open cell foam. ZERO yet ford went with open cell (aka a sponge).

[@charlescurran1289]

Holy smokes! You got $3700 for the black Sentra? In any other world that would be a $500 car. Maybe their buying it for the drivetrain.

[@TheRealWormsGarage]

Nissan sucks nowadays 😕. The maxima from early 90s was FAST

[@thagerdorn2009]

40psi of air in a car tire is WAY too much...unless it's a heavy duty truck, tire pressure should be between 32-35 max. Don't believe me, read the sidewall...NEVER put the max psi in a tire...as you drive, tires get hot and as tires get hot, they typically gain pressure. Which will cause a blowout. As the temperature outside goes up, so does tire pressure. As the temperature goes down, so does tire pressure...people who freak out about tire lights kill me. 95 percent of the time there is no issue with the tire. It's the sensors acting stupid. We don't need tpms in cars, people should know how to check tire pressure in order to own and operate a vehicle.

[@jrs4ex]

Back in like 2010-2012 I remember the 04-06 Nissan Altimas were rotting away so fast. The floorboards would have huge holes in them

[@mohamedaminasad]

[@jrs4ex]

@@andydhillon1977 Mostly when I was working in CT and Massachusetts. Once they began spraying the roads more with liquid salt the rust got completely out of control. They use so much salt in some towns in CT there are huge problems with peoples well water from the run off. Turn on your faucet and the water coming out has more salt in it then ocean water.
