2009 SEL
I am currently looking at a 2009 SEL with 163,000 miles on it, for $3900 from a used car lot. Is it worth the risk? I’m extra cautious right now because I just bought my first car not even 6 months ago (2011 Nissan Quest) and the transmission is already shot. That’s probably my mistake from trusting someone on Facebook marketplace lmao. I’m wondering what kind of problems I should look out for, besides the water pump. Google AI overview keeps mentioning a transmission issue, but it’s the AI overview. I’ve looked at reviews fell over 10 years ago and would like fresh and current thoughts on it :))
