1. Have a mechanic look at it before purchase. The transmission will be the weakest link though they're reliable. Look for structural damage. Going under car with flashlight will be necessary.

2. Give it a major tune up by a GTR certified mechanic.


I'll look into that. I work for a Nissan dealership in Tennessee and we are owned by sonic automotive. The car is in one of our other stores in Texas so I won't be able to physically look at it till it gets to my dealership. From the pictures I've seen of it it's extremely clean but I don't know what the underneath looks like.

If you can get it out on a solo test drive n have your dealer raise the car up and inspect it and put a light on that transmission n check for integrity leaks etc. You'll be golden.

why can't you just pay for a PPI?

I would def do it if the PPI looks good. 83K miles isn't unreasonable on a 10 year old car.

Good luck
