Looking at a 2014 nissan altima for sale at a small dealer, but which already

Nissan has a better than avg. reliability , this newer model year had to be highway miles for the quick add up , 3/4 of the car wears out from age ,plastics drying out , cheap recycled maybe a dozen times sheet metal rusting or vanishing in thin air! .sensitive wire and connectors. if it sounds and runs good , and the price is right, go for it, so maybe someday you need an engine replaced, this happens on low milers of certain makes ,

The Nissan CVT is a rolling disaster area. Don't say you were not warned. I would not pay more than a grand for such a car and most likely that would be money wasted.

I don't like anything over 100,000 miles unless I have access to a service history.

If it's more than $2k I wouldn't buy it. But if it drives good and sounds good then why not. Sounds like highway miles unless it was a taxi or something
