Used Nissan Sentra for Sale in San Jose, CA

When we first began shopping for a car, I knew I wanted something reliable and safe. My husband had informed me that Nissan was a great make and that his father had owned a Nissan for more than twenty years. This was enough for me to try Nissan. We went with a Nissan Sentra. I love how fool proof the car is. If I accidently leave the lights on, a loud beep sounds until I turn them off. It came with an alarm, and there is even “eco” mode to help reserve gas. It also alerts you when one of your tires may be having issues, or if the road is slippery. It’s great on gas and easy to keep up. I love it. I don’t have many issues with the car, but one complaint I have is that there is no light in the trunk. At night, if I must go in the trunk for any reason, I must use the flashlight on my phone to see in there. Also, there is no rear air conditioning. When we turn on the air, my children to feel the air unless we blast it. Another issue is that it takes a couple of seconds before the car speeds up when you press on the gas. Also, even though it’s great on gas, the tank is small, so on a full tank, you’re only getting a little over seven gallons.

I purchased this car new for $15,000 and have been completely happy with it. It currently has 280,000 miles. I wish it had a sunroof and moonroof and VLSD, but am satisfied otherwise. The exterior styling is kind of plain, but not bad looking, and is definitely improved by the spoiler. On windy days, especially at highway speeds, I get a strange whining/buzzing sound from behind the center console. No idea what's loose. Absolutely love the handling, and the engine has plenty of oomph. The car is actually fun to drive. Transmission is very responsive. The engine is a bit noisy. Steering is CRISP; virtually no body roll; tight turning radius; very good road feedback. The car handles well at highway speeds. Two words on brakes be gentle, or you'll warp your front rotors in no time. Already had two recalls: faulty crank shaft sensor and defective rims the dealer took care of both problems and have done an excellent job. One major complaint: the metal under the hood (supporting brackets, heat shields, wire harness brackets, etc) had started to corrode. Mileage is very good I get consistent 33-34 miles/gallon.
