Used Nissan Sentra for Sale in Hartford, CT

We bought this car because if you have bad credit, there's only so many cars they package with bad credit loans. It was a very basic model but even a higher level of the same vehicle would not have impressed me. Comfort was ok but not the best, and styling was just ok. Within a week after I bought it, two hubcaps fell off while driving. I didn't realize it till a bit later, so I was only able to find one that I had lost. I put it on but it wasn't long till it came off again. Never found it and without them the car looks trashy. By the third month I was hearing a noise from the right front, turned out that a wheel bearing had gone bad and needed replacement. So at three months I am already putting money into this new car. Handling in the snow was horrible and tires wore out quickly. My overall opinion was that it was cheap, and although I had a monthly payment, within the first year, I already had to invest in a wheel bearing, brakes x2 and tires. So I was not pleased, and it was just a basic car--nothing I would have picked myself.

I purchased the car because the gas prices were high at the time, and I have an X-Terra. I traded in the X-Terra for the Sentra begrudgingly, but I was getting ready to start college full time, and I needed to commute an hour each way to school. The car was fine for most of the time I had it. I kept up on the maintenance, but around 95,000 miles, I started noticing it shifting a little weirdly. Due to my schedule, I couldn't get it into the shop until I was passed the 100,000 mile warranty. They then told me that my transmission had gone out and needed to be replaced. Upon further research, Nissan is apparently aware that the CVT transmissions they use in some of their vehicles have problems. They've even gone so far as to provide extended warranties for specific models/years specifically for CVT replacements. Unfortunately, my model/year is not one of those. So I needed to pay almost $4,000 to replace a transmission that had just over 100,000 miles on it.
