Need some advice about a Sentra! (Thankful for any and all insight)
Hey guys!
Talked a guy down to $11k for a 2021 Sentra SV with 80k miles on it. Everything with the car is great. Drives great, feels great, and the deal is great- but there’s one lingering thing that he doesn’t seem to think is an issue that is a little concern to me.
All maintenance on the car is up to date, except for the transmission fluid changes- the previous owner thought it was good until 100k miles. When I test drove it, it drove very smooth and didn’t notice a single problem with the transmission at all. Smooth shifting, great rev after stopped, everything seems great.
If I were to buy it, I would do a fluid change immediately and make sure I stay completely up to date on it- but am wondering if there will be looming issues with the transmission since it hasn’t been changed thus far?
I know that it was part of a healthcare fleet before that had someone who religiously looked after the vehicle, except for trans fluid. Most miles are highway miles. (I live in an area of the US that is really only hot for 3 months out of the year).
Thoughts on this?
(Please don’t be rude, I am young and this is my first time purchasing a newer car for myself)
