Buying Used 2013 or Newer or 2012 or Older?

Joker_J · 02-23-2015, 10:07 AM

From what I've heard, the issues that were happening to older versions were fixed from the 2013 models and up.

Can you specify?

I should have asked this too. I have had a couple of Maximas and they were ridiculously reliable. Do you guys think trying to find a CPO is worth it?

CPO IMO means nothing.

The extended warranty that comes with a CPO car means nothing to you? Having pricey items such as engine and transmission covered until 100k means nada?

In my opinion CPO is a big plus

Depending on the dealership, CPO may or may not come with an extended warranty. When I bought my 09 Z about two weeks ago, it automatically came with a lifetime warranty and mine wasn't CPO.

If it needs to be CPO for the extended warranty to tag along, then absolutely. But CPO typically just states that the car has been inspected prior to sale, which the dealership should check the vehicle anyway.

CPO does come with extended warranty, but it isn't bumper to bumper. CPO cars usually receive more maintenance/inspection before resale, and they are usually in pretty good condition.

Just curious what the lifetime warranty is for in your case?
