cars much past 50,000 miles. but i really love the 370...

it's not the power train that worries me because i take care of that
plus imo nissan got that part right..

its the other stuff that starts to worry me once a car gets around 40 to 50,000 on it. a/c easy 1100 right there. or ecm or any computer related issues. heck even a power window motor replaced has to be around 500.

thanks for all the good advice tough decision to make
ecm is covered by powertrain.

Honestly, if you are at all handy, the warranty is a waste. A window motor is maybe 10-15 minutes of your time and a few bucks to replace...and I wouldn't worry about that stuff.

Things like a diff with extremely aggressive backlash settings and loose tolerances that is shown to overheat (far before the oil does), extreme wear shown on UOAs even under normal driving, etc, etc...pretty sure your powertrain will go well before anything else.


My thought would be this--your have better than 50% odds of not spending a grand on repairs...bad investment to me, but it depends on how you like to weight your risks.
