Bought my 2006 Sentra in 2010 at a car auction with 30k

Bought my 2006 Sentra in 2010 at a car auction with 30k miles for below Blue Book. Now has 138k miles. No problems so far, faithfully do regular scheduled maintenance. Great value for an around-town car.

Highly Reliable Car

I purchased my 2006 Nissan Sentra in 2010 with 90,000 miles. I recently passed 235,000 miles in it and have had a great time with it. I regularly change the oil every 5,000 miles, have replaced the starter, and have replaced the coolant thermostat twice. All in all, a very reliable car that is still going strong!

Has been great run-around car for 14 years

This car gave me 34 mpg until recently; still very reliable, new battery, great tires, A/C, and dependable! I have only driven it in CO.

Dependable, efficient A to B car

As second owner, I can say this vehicle has turned out to be a great deal. Cost/mi. is awesome. Basic 4-cylinder has get-up-n-go. This generation (B15) avoided CVT, engine, and other problems the newer Sentras suffered with. As an A to B car, it lacks refinements you'd expect of an economy. Great to see others getting well over 100,000 with no major complaints.

It's a great commuter

At 14 years old, it still drives every time. 300+ miles/tank. Handles great. OD switch gives the giddy up when needed. Leg room can be limited in back. Fold down gap between trunk and cab is quite narrow.

Cheapest . strongest. Comfortable. Healthy

La seguridad. De saber que no me falla la tranquilidad de saber el bajo costo de sus piezas y su durabilidad. Saber que en tiempos difíciles con un par dw dólares me llevará a mi destino . la paz de saber que es tan cotizado que si necesito venderlo en cualquier momento lo haré con una depreciación muy baja a pesar de los años. Y me sacará de apuros. Esta Palomo es oro puro.
