Have been looking at chevy cars for a few weeks now. Decent cars in general are hard to find in the area and most are way over priced. I've come across a 13 nissan sentra s auto trans with 120k at a local reputable auto sales/repair shop. It is a rebuilt title - axle, tie rods etc, no body work or frame damage. The body and interior are in exceptional shape for a 10 year old car. I've never owned a Nissan and know nothing about them but this seems to be about the best deal I've come across in my search. Does anyone know much about this model year of sentras? I'm assuming fuel economy is good. Probably be putting 15k a year on and would like to get a good 5 years out of it. More wondering about reliability,  common issues etc

The engines are great, the CVT transmissions aren't so great.

 

If you have documents of past repairs on that car it would be helpful. Those 6th gen sentra's had quiet a few problems with CVT failures past 80,000 miles. If the transmission has already been fixed or replaced, then you should be in the clear. I suppose you could even call a dealership with the VIN to see if there are any open recalls and if they'd have any prior knowledge of warranty work done to that vehicle.
