Scotty Kilmer Scotty I got a question Is pro demand worth investing or is your app comparable to that software? And if so what software do you recommend for a up start mechanic?
That would be used for all around vehicle including commercial diesel vehicles
do you have any video about control arm bushings? Nissan recommended that I change my control arm bushing, which they say requires the whole control arm to be replaced - on both sides - and they want to charge nearly $1,000 although I have no issue with it. The recommendation is based on mileage. What do you think? 2008 Nissan Versa - 138k miles - Even worse, my transmission went out and I had a remanufactured one put in this week.... idk why. I just did it.
I have that car. A 2008 Nissan versa 4 speed auto. 151000 miles. No problems 😊
What is the best vehicle for car camping, RAV? Need room to sleep and store food and clothes; a generator like the Prius for climate control, and great gas mileage to travel the country. The Prius Wagon is at the top of my list. What do you think??

@@laserbeam3836 I bet you drive reasonably, do maintenance and overall treat the car right. People can be ridiculously hard on their cars. I have a 2010 Cube with 111,000 miles on it CVT is smooth as silk and the engine purrs like a kitten, But, I treat it gently.
Fedproman my 2010 Nissan Cube transmission was smooth as silk at 99,000 miles. No sign of slowing down. Transmission went one day last month with no warning. Was still smooth after it went, just wouldn’t move. Was still under warranty at least

You said someone bought it for $2500? and it's a 2012 model, it's a great deal!
We had one. It was poorly made. Rattled all the time, despite having 40k miles. It was huge inside though, the trunk space was gigantic too. The engine was well made though. Never had an issue.
Its ok guys suckers like this is why we flip cars;]
its a nissan,, And they start at $10,000
@John Fedor It's a simple car without fancy tech. Timing chain, 4 speed auto, no nav or cameras. It should last a good while longer if taken care of. 2500 is a decent price for newer-ish car that looks pretty clean, plus I'd assume it's a southern car, so not much rust or corrosion. I would not buy one of these new, but in a pinch this can be a good car for someone with a tight budget.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache no it’s not especially considering it has 111,000 miles on it and those transmissions tend to grenade themselves. This car car could be near the end of its life.
Edit…didn’t I realized it had a 4 speed auto, it’ll last longer than the horrible CVT powered ones.
Scotty promoting Nissan and yesterday a Kia just means we are nearing apocalypse .
pinoyrunningpenguin we’re already in one 😱
like I'm going to trust a car that has an odometer I can only read when I turn the key.....
how am I to judge the parts viability when it sits in the Pickn' Pull yard? Wellllllllllllll ???????? How?
Lawrence Jensen LMAO
I have 2007 Nissan versa hatchback s its already 180k miles on odometer my transmission is still okey i just changed my transmission fluid last year and since of that I dont have any problems on my transmission system may be scotty kilmer will happy if he see my Nissan versa 😂
Lol
As a courier I put 60,000 miles a year on my vehicles
The first Versa I owned I bought with 60,000 miles lasted me over 380,000.
On my second Versa which I bought with 80,000 miles I'm now
at 225,000. No major repairs just regular maintenance
what year was the first one, and the one you have now? manual or auto?
Walter Bandeira
Model years please?

Which years bro?!?!
Walter--True! The Nissan Versa is an excellent car..Great value

Can't hide from the computer lol.

It doesn’t feel
It will not stop until you are dead.
Lmfao!!🤣
I’ve had my Versa for about 4 years now and it’s been a TANK. It’s nearly at 200k miles and still running strong... the worst issue I’ve had with it was just a misfire on the 1st cylinder a few weeks ago.. besides that’s it’s been perfectly fine. With regular oil changes and normal check ups and maintenance this little car will go for years and years! I recommend it as an owner 🙏🏼
I bought my civic brand new in 07 and it’s finally starting to go. I got my eye on a 2022 SV Versa that I’m about to pull the trigger on
I had mine for 7 years now about to hit 150,000 miles. I kept up with the maintenance & havent had any problems with it.
@@raydawg2132 I got the 2021 SV in January, absolutely love it so far!
Thank ya sir...as I'm in the process of buying a 2014 versa manual transmission...better
2017 SV sedan and other than a glass steering rack, it's not THE WORST car, and it's snappy when it needs to be.
That first gen Versa was decent cheap transportation. Nissan could have saved their reputation over the years if they'd only stuck to traditional automatics. They'd probably still be #2 behind Toyota if they had.
What’s wrong with CVT’s if you don’t mind me asking
J M S Nissans are just notoriously unreliable
@@jms3460 Higher chance of failure than a tranditional auto
@@jms3460 a cvt in an of itself is fine it's just Nissans one is crap Toyota Honda and other companies don't have problems with theirs it's just Nissan
@@jms3460cvts ain’t so bad but Nissan makes horrible cvt
Underhood looks alot like my 2011 Nissan Cube. I have changed the CVT fluid every 30 thousand miles, and changed the oil every 3750 miles with top grade synthetic oil, and at 145,000 miles it has been almost problemless.(MAF sensor only repair) and runs and looks great. Going for 300k(fingers crossed)
Is changing the cvt fluid the key to keeping these transmission going? I know people that have had to replaces transmissions on Rogues
My Cube now has 234k miles. Original transmission. I think with regular maintenance you have a chance at a long lasting CVT. I think with no maintenance the chances are low. Best of luck!
yes, I would do it every 20-25k seriously its easy and cheap@@iLLustrious85
We have a 2008 Versa SL CVT with nearly 190,000 miles on it, still going strong. It has probably been one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned, and fun to drive (great acceleration and MPG). The CVT has been fine because I keep the fluid very clean. I have also made sure to do all the factory maintenance per their intervals. The top failing part has been the fuel pump, which is easy to change. After we started to keep the gas in the tank over 1/4 minimum, the pump has lasted somewhat better.
Can you guys believe that Scotty is a millionaire now, but yet. He's still fixing cars!!!!!. This guy it's a real people person, always trying to help out. You are one of a kind Scotty, my respects to you and your family!!!!!!!.
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 192,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
chrisgraydon
Well spoken true player!
I agree ☝🏽
Also own a 11 murano with a 136,000. I change the transfluid every 30,000. No issues
I love my Versa hatchback! Mine is a 2011 with 150k+ miles on it! Still runs really well. I’ve driven across the country in my Versa several times. I’ve owned the car for almost seven years and couldn’t be happier. Biggest expense I’ve had so far was the exhaust pipe popped off the muffler when I hit a pot hole. So car was loud for a few days. Got that fixed now purrs like a kitten again. 😎
Same here. 10.5 years and going strong
Cross country miles are easy miles.
I have a 2016 Versa note with 5 speed manual trans, bought it used at 68000km, works pretty well. I kinda wish it has 6th gear, because I really don't like that I have to rev over 3000rpm at 100km/hr
Must not have the cvt
@@3xx948 i have 6 speed versa, still stays at 3k rpms at 100km
The intake manifold covering three of the spark plugs ! That's not cool. Stupid engineers.
Iridium plugs only need to be changed every 100k. It's going to be a while until you need to remove the intake.
Can have it off in five min. Not really that bad. Unless you have a misfire and you cant unplug coils to find it.
Mr. Mojo Risin
That's why you use a code scanner to detect the misfires,
Usually you'll find that the one ignition coil was fouled out by oil seeping into the spark plug holes..
Why on my 25 year old suzuki everything is easy to reach. All 4 spark plugs out in few minutes without removing anything else. Newer car repairability becomes worse and worse
@@springer-qb4dvOn some cars you have to remove intake manifold to even get to the plugs. I think when someone buys a used car they need to look at how easy it is to fix.
I have a 2012 Nissan Altima coupe with 106,000 miles and nothing has been done besides oil changes and tires I bought the car 6 months ago and was wondering when you think it might start to have serious problems
Well I'd say if nothing has been done, now would be about the time to expect problems
I have a Nissan versa 2012 SV with 218 k running strong special I high maintenanced
Seriously with 218000 ?
I literally bought this car a year ago for 2800 with 65000 miles great deal
Holy cow
As a 07 versa owner I recommend: simple drain & fill of the automatic transmission fluid every 60K. Dino Oil change every ~4K miles.
These were great little cars, especially for their price! More roomy than they appear, and great gas mileage!
They were, but I'd rather the full-size Maxima.
Hey there!!! How's it going?

I’m driving a Nissan Sentra 2004 1.8 engine 5 speed manual with 670,000 miles and counting!!! still running 😼😼
Manu, you must live in your car. For a 5 day working week, that's 160miles per day, ie 3-4 hours every day and a fortune in fuel & maintenance costs.
My 2002 SER SpecV was junk, but the 1.8 was a good little engine.
Older Sentra's were great, if Nissan didn't merge with Renault just think about how much better they would be today.
@@neilparmar5705 I think Renault and Nissan divorced recently.
Sergio S. Huerta they did.. but they left nissan with the baggage
I have a 2010 I got with 50k on it for $10k in 2014, still got it and it's at 230K miles, the versa without a CVT is a killer budget car
Amael Rodrigues Wait don't they start at 10,000
50k miles on a 4 year old car for 10g's? keep doing you bud
yup bought one in mexico brand new for 184000 pesos which is around 10 k dlls
Rü Bən aren’t these things like 12 grand new? Dude got finessed. He’s lucky it’s held up for 6 years at least but with 230k I bet he could trade it in for a pack of gushers and a razor scooter 🛴

This guy changes his mind on nissan every hour 😂😂😂
Never forget this is still an entertainment Channel. Scotty makes money off his channel his advice must be taken with that in mind. He's selling entertainment videos. Not advice.
Different cars, different opinions.
I think as far as the newer ones go, he's kept the same opinion, and in many cases, regardless of brands. He's even gone on to say he wouldn't buy a newer Toyota with a CVT (and if you know Scotty, he's all about the Toyotas, but the ones that don't have a CVT).
It depends on the individual car and if you actually watched the video it wasn’t exactly high praise. Basically he’s saying this car is a decent, not good just decent buy for dirt cheap with very specific features and don’t expect much of you get one.
I am second owner of a 2007 Versa Hatchback. 161,000 miles. Engine works fine. I'm 6'3" and fit fine. Air conditioning is my only complaint. Its barely acceptable in winter and lacking in Houston summers. Thanks Scotty.
Will get you to work and back. No stress car.
I have one. it is know as the nissan Tiida here. 2007 with a manual transmission. Its bullet proof and never let me down. 145000 km driven
I can't believe Renault bought out Nissan and pretty much destroyed their reputation. They decimated the Skyline name.
Without Renault, no Nissan. I don't really like Renaults, but it IS true. Just look it up. ^^^ this guy above me is correct. They needed to cut tons of costs. They were not efficient.
Also Renault has no hand in their design. To me Nissan, as they are right now, are one of the more boring brands. Especially from an interior standpoint.
@@Astke Renault doesn't use CVT, but rather dual-clutch transmissions (known as EDC)! They're amazing here in Europe! At least better than the Volkswagen mafia criminals!
shechshire
I think you're talking about Renault's *old* ceo Charles Ghosn.
Nissan & Renault today are sharing technology while operating their own autonomously
**NO ONE SIDE IS CONTROLLING THE OTHER**
@@MainMite06 I think they're like Honda and Ford, a balance of reliability and planned obsolescence and it looks like Toyota just got into it.

ive felt so bad for so long about having the equivalent car here in Australia but it has been 7 years and i havent had to fix anything except tyres and im happy with it so far (nissan almera 2012 5 speed manual)
Common you know Nissan cant make a car transmission to save their life.
False. The normal autos in the RWD platforms are good as are the manuals. And if you get an old FWD with the 4 spd like Scotty said... It'll last longer than the rest of the car more often than not.
The manual has been good so far.
“The evil swines have the spark plugs hiding under the intake manifold.” 🤣🤣🤣
I had a 2007 Nissan Versa with 150k miles until very recently when it was totaled in January, loved that car was my first one and I miss it but I got a corolla now!
If i go speeds at 85 or over, it stops flashing. I did it just to see what would happen and it stops flashing!
MusicaMazizaTV
The TPMS system of a Nissan uses TWO inputs
-Air pressure data from inside the tire
-Wheel speed data from ABS or transmission speed sensor.
👉low air pressure in tire makes wheels move faster.
👉high air pressure makes the tire move slower
👉Fast-moving wheels cause warmer & high pressures in tires
-In your case,
*the busted TPMS computer will turn off the tire light if you fooled it to thinking the wheels are rotating at normal speeds!*
Test drove one of these one time and actually loved it. Never bought the thing though, upon researching the infamous CVT issues. Always thought the exterior styling was interesting on these things though; oddly appealing.
You're so correct Scotty. The CVT trans, are junk. My 2019 Versa rental was like an upholstered beer can with a radio. Thank you!
Lol!!!
Seriously though, got one as a rental on a rather windy day, scary to say the least😂
I own a 2016 Versa with the CVT transmission and it currently has about 140k miles on the original CVT transmission and no issues. From what I've seen the older generation CVT transmissions had more problems than the newer generation ones. I think an important part of keeping it going is changing out the CVT fluid every 30000 miles or so plus both filters that the CVT transmission comes with.
GenEmperor that’s incorrect. the older cvts that didn’t mimick shifts had less problems .
@@GenEmperor you've only got 140k miles on it though...
I've had a 2015 Versa Note w/ CVT, no transmission/engine issues so far at 119K
Probably because it's a tiny car with a tiny engine. If it was a Sentra then it would be slipping all over the place.
So are you going to do the spark plug replacement job or not? Lol How involved is it taking that manifold off?
marquise robinson Just like my mom’s Equinox. The Equinox/Terrain with the 2.4 has the spark plugs under the intake manifold.
Ford v6 3.0 has same design. Not hard but definitely not a happy camper. Cost 150 labor at local garage (lowest price) suggested to replace seals and all plugs and coils at once and could be all over 1 coil misfiring.
marquise robinson
It's fairly difficult for a newcomer..
But a veteran used to these cars will find them a cakewalk,..
...just dont ask about how much tools it takes to remove & install that intake though!

Good video Scotty. I bought my first Versa Hatchback a few years ago, a 2007 for $1,800. I replaced spark plugs, coils, variable valve solenoid, MAS airflow sensor, all motor & Tranny mounts, (4 speed Jatco A/T), rear shocks, all 4 wheels, rotors, drums, brake pads & shoes. Drove the 2007 for over 2 years with no other problems. I sold the 2007 Versa last week for $3,000 with 186,000 miles, & bought a 2011 Silver Metal Flake Versa Hatchback this time with 50,000 original miles on it & in "showroom" condition, 6 speed manual transmission, for me it is a new condition car! The best part of my story is I only paid $5,000 for the 2011 Versa Hatchback! I feel that that was a pretty good upgrade for $2,000. I'm a retired Machinist, not rich but Happy!

hey Scotty I just traded in my Nissan Versa for a Nissan Sentra at the dealership they were shocked that my Versa had 150,000 miles on it when no problems I thought it was a pretty strong card I didn't know they have problems actually they brought it to my attention I drove 45 minutes everyday back and forth to work and I did uber the weekends with It I'm telling you their jaws hit the floor when they seen the mileage I guess I got the good one
I would kind of stay away from any pre-2019 model year Nissan because of the issues with the JATCO CVT's. Current Nissans seem to be a lot better luck with CVT reliability.
There are millions of Nissan's running trouble free on roads with over 100ks in their clocks with CVTs. JATCO is a world class trans company and even JEEP uses their CVTs. The problem is, Nissan was the first to use CVTs on a commercial basis in 2009 and obviously early use of new tech gives a lot of teething problems mainly because people didn't know how to treat CVTs. You abuse CVT and it punishes you! Dont overload, change special oil once 50k kms and you will get one of the best of auto technologies today.
Horrible car. I had one that I babied and cylinder head cracked right inside the thread of the spark plug well and started leaking coolant into the well. Wasn't worth fixing with 138k mi. Junked it.
Cloud9551
Coolant? Thread of the spark plug well?
The coolant channels shouldnt be anywhere near the cooling channels on either HR16de nor MR18de..
How big was the crack?
This car in the video is what my sister is using now for college. Bought it for her cheap and took it to Scotty to give it a little magic. Works like new and drives great! Thanks for the help Scotty Kilmer!
Great Choice. I inherited a 2011 at 50k. Now has 103k. No issues.
What happened with the spark plugs and how inaccessible they are to change?
@@jsm8149 You just gotta wiggle the intake off (couple of vacuum hoses, wiring and some bolts) then you can access the valve cover with coils and spark plugs. You can search on youtube there are some videos of people pulling the intake off. Great car tho, 2007-2012 hatch are tanks while you maintain them well!
I love mine!!... is 07 180+ miles... original .motor.. original... trans... n gas saver!!!
These body versas are pretty good and reliable. My wife couldnt kill it lol she is quality control on cars...sensors suck on it. Engine though tough little bugger. The back seat had the most leg room out of any car i have ever sit more than a chevy tahoe lol is like sitting on a mercedes s class super roomy on the back. It surprised me.
I just bought a 2015 versa today it has a 5 speed manual transmission
I personally own a nissan 350z same as the g35 coupe and I have not had any major issues it's at 160k miles no codes popping up and I daily it I love it lots
itzz krze Those were made during the prime of Nissan, pretty reliable cars even when you beat the s**t out of them.
Is it OK to buy a Nissan Versa with CVT in 2022? Not able to get the standard transmission car, so thinking of going for the CVT.
"The horn works 'beep beep.'"
Is there really a car with the spark plugs below the inlet manifold? How crazy is that? As Scotty would say, RUN!
Yep I don't have the car anymore but it was hell for a single coil going bad. Ford v6 3.0 has 3 under manifold on passenger side.
John Gee
Renault 4 cylinders are usually made like this to save hood length for *interior legroom*.
BUT some renaults had the intake manifold with "open fingers" so that the coil+spark plugs, were easy to access.
- *If the technician is experienced enough, removing the intake on a versa will be a 15 minute job*
-Otherwise, most FWD V6 engines typically bury the the back 3 cylinders with the intake manifold to keep the hood low.
customer: Scotty, why do you charge me so much to scan my car?
Scotty: 2:02 💪 because of this, bro 💪
The Nissan Versa 2011 and before were great then it became unreliable, until 2017 when it was decent and 2018 and 19 were the greatest ones they had in years (they were good at least for the price) the 2016 versa note is also good
So the 2018 nissan versa is a good car?
@@weldmin4818for regular use its not bad, it’s a 6.5 for me, the cvt ain’t good for any of the models though

Scotty can you scan my new girlfriend because she looks nice but there's something fishy about her.
That's not really Scotty's expertise. You may need a locksmith -- I mean a private investigator -- to do that. If she responds like Victoria F from The Bachelor when confronted, or if you try to break up and she starts sounding like Meegan from the Key and Peele "Meegan and Andre break up" video, then she's past repair.
Scotty can fix her up! Gonna need her over the weekend lol
Thanks for the tip Scotty but I will never buy a Nissan. I've owned a CRX and two Accords and have put roughly 850,000 miles on them combined. My next car is going to be a Lexus IS (sorry Honda).

I have a 2011 versa manual trans i got with 85k miles for $3500. I have 150k miles on it now and has been a great commuter. You can’t expect anything from these cheap cars. Lol
Versa manual is my daily driver, 170k on it no issues, do not buy the cvt!
Scotty liking a Nissan what has the world come to. 🤣
The versa compete with the yaris not the matrix, that's why is cheaply build.
I've got a 2007 Versa SL with the CVT that I bought new. This month it turns 13 y.o. It's still going with no issues. When it goes, we'll be going with a different brand. Finances have improved since 2007.
How often did you change the CVT fluid ?
@@GenEmperor Once
@@cusebike5391 how many miles did it have when you got that car and how many does it have now?
@@GenEmperor 161 miles when I bought it. It had to be driven from a dealer about 150 mile away. It now has just over 101,000 miles.
My 2017 nissan manual says only to change the cvt fluid at 60K miles...and that's ONLY if driven under "extreme" conditions ( a lot of very short trips, dusty roads, steep hills, etc).
Finally my car is "Scotty Kilmer Approved"!
My 2010 Versa at 1,62,000 miles now. Original everything.
Yeah...and I have one that just turned over 1 trillion!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This Versa model comes in two types the S and the SL. S is 4 speed automatic while the SL is a CVT. Mine is an S or 4 speed automatic which Scotty is highliting on this video.
Komputar
My 08 versa is at 215k with minor engine mods added.
Yes its good car, my friend using 2011 model from 4 years and have 350,000 miles and it was 100,000 miles when he bought 4 years ago
Your friend drove 250,000 miles in 4 years?? 62,500 miles a year. That's a lot of miles.

My eldest car an 08 Versa has the 4AT with 215k with *minimal service needed on transmission*
eat that!
Love your vids Scotty, infact I love em so much........i could sit all day watching, thanks Sir......you are the main BOSS on youtube !
I got a 2013 Nissan Sentra for 4500 its a Manual Transmission with 115k miles and it has sport mode and eco mode. It runs very well. 0-60 in under 60 seconds😂. The CVT problems exist in the Automatic Transmission. I lucked out though cause i get 35mpg in the city🏙.
No Nissan because of the cvt
No Subaru for head gasket problem
No Ford
No GM
No Chrysler
Anybody else Nissan Versa steering wheel shakes a little when on the freeway going 70+ mph?
That Nissan is calles “Tiida” in México. And it’s MadeInMéxico too. It has 510lts of space in the trunk -aprox- and you can get it automatic (4 speed) and 6 speed manual. Cheap to mantain,400k or more can last if you mantain it. If you live in the border,can even go to Nissan dealer in Mexico and save money mantaining it. A bargain. Buen día!☀️
Called Tiida*
Steve Silvas Nissan is a Japanese brand,but the Nissan Tiida (or several generations of Versa & Nissan Sentra) are made here in Mexico. But i like Hyundai tho...📲
Arturo Monreal
Could you believe that the Versa is a modified Renault Clio, made in an EX Mexican Renault factory?
MainMite06 no, it was not. The “Renault Clío” was a Nissan Platina... Tiida has different chasis & several changes (thank God) ...
Arturo Monreal
Same platform, but Nissan modified the body in multipe ways,
Compare the
3rd gen Clio-5 door to the
Nissan Versa Hatch
& tell me that you cant see the resemblence!
Did Scotty say the abs system won't work without working tpms sensors? Why wouldn't abs work in that case?
dave houston
He's rambling,
Heres what he definetly meant to say:
"Tire light is on, tire pressures are good, I drove the car around, but the tire light doesnt turn off, *i think one of my TIRE SENSORS are dead, BECAUSE my ABS/TCS light isnt on* !
Second owner of an 08 Versa, it has 95k miles on it and it's going strong after two years. I've decided to upgrade it with remote start and a media receiver. This thing looks like it will be going strong for a while! The only major repair in two years was to replace the radiator which was beginning to have a hairline leak. Wonderful first car I highly recommend for anyone who just needs a car to get around. It isn't the flashiest but it's reliable and at the time was cheap!
My GF has a 14 versa with 174k miles . Recently I’m changing the struts, ac pressure sensor , rear wheel sensor code and several other small things but it’s still going strong with 30 mpg
My friend got a manual 2014 version of the Versa sedan for like 5000 last year, he commutes back and fourth from NY State to Virginia/DC every weekend. Needless to say it does work
I own a 2012 versa sedan with a cvt. It has 115,000 miles, without any problems.
martin12556
Remember the CVT flush is suggested at 25-50k intervals!
My 2008 Altima CVT with 180,000 miles on it issue free shifts like a dream. Jatco CVT isnt as horrible as Scotty claims.
I got 2015 Nissan Murano 42000 miles on it... and I had to change the cvt transmission already... so Scotty know what he is talking about
Mario Bennnett
I personally feel that the Jatco CVT really belongs behind small FWD 4-cylinders & not 3.5L V6s
But I do have this one comrade with a '12 Maxima with 180k,bought the car used, & didnt do anything major outside a battery,bodywork & bushings...
Shifts?
Bruh I have 2015 Altima with 160,000 miles and it like🗑🚮
@@XenomorphLV426 You don't feel CVT shifting, how the hell he knows it shifting great?🤣🤣
Those nissans are popular in my country. The only issue it has is the suspension, its pretty weak but parts are relatively cheap so you wont spend a small fortune.
I have an 08 Versa 4at with 215k on the clock,
*not all Renault based nissans are bad*
U can get brand new one with a 5 speed transmission for about 16,000. Pretty good deal really.
I bought mine new in 2016. I paid 8947.00 it had 4 miles on it. It has a manual transmission and only has 42000 on it now. When Trump was in office I went from Dec 24 to Dec 24 and my fuel bill was 540 bucks. It still only takes about 40 to fill it and I get 20 worth about every three weeks. I love this little car.
I have a 2011 nissan versa going at 110,000 miles. I've had it since it had 35,000 miles and I've never had any problems with it. The only thing I had to replace was the catalyc converter back at 85,000. Good little car!
My stepbro had one of these turds and he put about 230k miles on it before some jackwagon ran a red light and flipped him off in the ditch. This car is a diamond in the rough.
Last time I was this early Scotty’s 94 Celica was still brand new.
@Steve Silvas lmao you're right
I own one and I changed parts every 3months
These parts always go bad
Coil pack
AC blowers etc
@@conradsealy9603 what about generics?
We gotta 2012 versa with no CVT... It's been Hella cheep to operate
With a manual transmission and not having a turbo charger, it's a nice solid little car.
You can get rid of the TPS indicator with a little electrical tape.
It's called Nissan Almera here in our country. You can purchase it with zero downpayment. And is sprawling here, it is also used as fleet cab
Joshua John Carlos
Let me guess-Philippines?
So how’s the Almera’s performance and reliability in your country?
I had a new Versa and it was a great car to drive and I wish I could have kept it
Yup. CVTs on Nissans are crap. Owner of a 2013 Pathfinder and 2018 Note.
Even Hondas and Toyotas are using CVTs now. They’re probably more reliable than Nissan CVTs, but I’m trading my 2018 for a Mazda.
Bought a 2009 Sentra, brand new when the family expanded and needed a 3rd car.
Best little car we ever owned. Not 1 issue.
Matt Lappin
Manual or automatic CVT?
My 2015 nissan versa has 145,000 miles & I still owe $4,500 on it. It's been a decent car.
I bought a 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 se last year and it’s been holding up well it has 211k miles on it now though 😂
Wtf? How the hell did they get a Versa 2012 at a mere 111,000 miles for just $2500? They must have gotten it from a friend or family. My 2011 Nissan Versa went 218,000 miles until a lady rammed into it a month ago and because of the mileage and age of the vehicle, her insurance company totalled it. They gave me a payout of $4600 for the car. However, I am having a hard time finding another one at a decent used price. Everybody wants more than $4500 for one, and the dealerships are trying to rob me for $7500 or more for a used one.
