Sold my 2021 Altima "accidentally"

50/50 chance she will neglect the heck out of it.

Your cvt fluid and filter change are likley the last ones it will ever see.

I’m going 80/20 with the 80 being in the neglect category. Her track history with cars isn’t exactly stellar. Keeping the car in the married in family will allow for me to watch its demise. Which will be sad.

And 50/50 when it fails from neglect she or someone else will blame you.

I’ve had next to no issues in the 8 yrs and 125k I’ve put on it. Minus some recall for the collision sensor which was about a 30 minute deal. I do service the cvt annually and replaced the alternator as a precaution not necessity. Granted Ohio roads are generally pretty good, but there’s no rattles, no squeaks and all the suspension and control arm boots are still in good shape. I did do tie rods last year as one bushing was torn. No complaints and it never not started.

My oldest son has a 2018 that has had no issues and he does OK maintenance. He is blowing me off about the CVT fluid change, which I have offered to do many times. It's grey.

My Sister in Law has a 2016-2018 model that gets minimal maintenance and also has no issues. It's grey.

My son that bought my mint black 2019: His in laws bought a 2020 and only kept it a year. It was a POS. Probably a Friday car. I even looked at it for them once. It needed front struts with only 19,000 miles on it (replaced under warranty). They are older and don't drive cars hard at all, and are very particular about dealer maintenance. They replaced it with a RAV4, but their old one was sold here in town and I see it daily. It's blue, btw.

Generally they are really good cars, but bad ones to happen.

My niece through marriage has a 16 Altima and has been beat to absolute death. I changed her cvt fluid for the 1st time ever @150k and I thought I had drained the oil it was so black. She still drives that car 100 miles a day to work, never sets still and it still moves. Some people get lucky, while others can do everything right and get robbed.
