My gf is planing to buy a car soon and we found a 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 S Coupe, with 157,000 miles. For 4K. I did a test drive and it drove with no issues, everything seemed to run smoothly. the dealer is someone my family and some friends have bought others cars and had no issues. I bought my first car there too, so i know i can trust the seller. we just want more opinions on what to expect from this car.

she just wants to get from home to work, and I do regular maintenance of all the fluids and replace any part right away if needed.

this problem has been going for maybe two months now. it just does some loud clicks when you try to start but sometimes it can start on the 1st or 2nd attempt. and sometimes other times on the 20th or 30th.

I’m sure is not the battery bc i replaced it recently and it’s always got power. a mechanic told me it might be the starter but i would like another option because the part is not precisely cheap for me to just replace and that not end up being the problem.

another thing is that when i replaced my battery about 5 months ago. the terminals where a bit corroded so I’m not sure is that is something possible to transmitted to the starter.
