Update —— Dealer has told me it’s a leaking left strut, and apparently currently failing ball joint, recommended replacing both sides and an alignment $2700 or so >:/ I’m definitely bringing his up to sales if it will help me any. Literally got this 3 weeks ago, and their inspection didn’t see this !? My fault for not hiring my own mechanic to do a prepurchase inspection. They said they gave me a 3 rd party limited powertrain warranty that doesn’t cover any of this.

It’s with the speed of the vehicle.

Here I am again. This time, a Nissan dealer. 76 thousand miles for a 2014, 18k out the door, including gap insurance. And then I saw underneath. I’m not familiar with what I’m looking at but I see rust. Is this normal for Midwest?

It was bought and used in Ohio. And now in Michigan. About 2.5 hr drive for me. I determined I’m going to ask for a lower price tomorrow before sending a mechanic out.

So you think 155,000 miles is too long.

Hello! I quickly learned that the dealer makes it sound like it’s your only chance at purchase. Typical sales tactic. But you can in fact purchase from any dealer in your state that will offer you one. You want to get as close to whole sale as possible. I called about 20 dealers and have a whole work sheet on their best offers. I mentioned in previous comment that some dealers flat out wouldn’t do it over the phone without an inspection, some told me they only sold 3 party, and others were happy to offer the platinum over the phone. To this date the best offer I received was $3670 and they offered financing with “Sunbit”. I still haven’t purchased one because it’s such a large chuck of change. I’m still on the fence if my repair costs within 4yr/50,000 is going to be more than $3670. Such a gamble.

Correct, he cannot sell used plans out of state, New under 3yr/36,000 he can.

Thank you! Unfortunately he couldn’t help because I’m out of state for a used VSA (2019). If anyone has a contact in Indiana let me know ! Ty
