I have a 2005 Nissan Murano - bought in 2009 with 35K miles. It is fast, runs smoothly, and is quiet! at 148K - feels like you are driving an electric car. Replaced sensors in 2010 and 2012, I always change the oil at 3K, keep the engine compartment clean, and always use Premium gas as recommended.

Hello scotty. Hope the big move is going well.👍👍

[@lawrencegatt4515]

Love ❤️ your videos mate thanks

[@Washman-jw3hl]

Scotty you mentioned how the white paint reflects heat and can last longer. But I work at a car wash and detail center and over the 25 years of seeing multiple white cars including the white accord I owned I noticed a lot of car that are white get chalky and faded after some 7 years plus. I always wondered if the factory spray job went cheap on the clear coat because of the bright white color. And the results I noticed on many makes and models

Grandma had 2003 Nissan Maxima SE 255k miles on it, only had to change the Alternator (besides rotors, brakes, and oil) the only thing that went bad was the AC and Alternator. It spent a lot of time idling too. No timing chain issues either. They’re not money pits if you actually take care of them. She sold it in 2017 for 900 bucks and I still see it driving around. Great car.

I cannot believe he didn’t say anything about the CVT.

[@tonygarrett9115]

Lol!!! Read my post above. I have this exact body style and its now at 187,000. I have not put any serious money into mine! Hahaha. All cars need new front end parts after a while! Especially as the car ages. It's funny seeing him talk about a maxima that I've had no problems with. I just watch him to laugh! Even when he makes false statements about certain car brands

Are you sure this older Maxima has a CVT? Yes a lot of new Nissans do but this car is older.

My mom drives an 08 Xterra which is almost the same size lol! Would that be a good desicion to get? Thank you man I appreciate it

[@EMichaelBall]

No one should spend more than $3,000 on a first car. I wouldn't suggest a Bronco or any fancy car/SUV for a first car. A lot of people my age have been unable to buy houses because of student debt and other debt, so to put yourself in the best position for the future, you need to be tight on spending over the coming years.

[@EMichaelBall]

On Xterras: The '08 has powertrain issues past 100,000 miles that can get expensive. The 2004 and earlier ones are rather reliable.

Have the same with 137k. Car runs like a champ. Great engine. I don't get the issues with CVT. I mean from a normal person's perspective. Not a mechanic. I bought it from my boss at 131k for 5k. I'm very pleased with it. Had a random wiring harness/ coil issue. And the fuel economy is a joke. But it's a fine car
