So my 21 Altima is gone which was kind of an accident lol. My daughters sister in law, who’s the sweetest girl you’d ever meet was car shopping for two weeks with my son in laws help. Car after car, issue after issue yielded no results or grossly overpriced. She wanted an Altima or a Camry and my SIL asked if I’d be interested in selling mine. I was in Vegas for business and threw out a price. 58k, cvt services annually and just did the pan filter plus the impossible cartridge filter. Brand new pirellis 2 weeks ago with an alignment and ebc rotors and pads last summer with maybe 15k on them, mostly highway. Ceramic coated when new. Oil changes with nothing less than RP hps, often Schaffer’s and HPL every 5k. The dealer did front wheel bearings last summer as well. I’m going to miss it but want a truck and also have a mint 18 rogue for work trips. I’m in no hurry for a truck and am hoping to hold out and find a good deal on a new 26 when the 27s are released. I feel like I was able to help a 22 yr old hairstylist by getting her into a car with known history from day 1 that was maintained by a guy who’s beyond neurotic about maintenance.
 
It can be said the whole affair 'moved you along' your car-life path?

You'll be driving the '18 Rogue exclusively until you find a truck you like?

How many miles on the Rogue?

yeah I made the same mistake a few months ago never should have sold my Rogue off. I been miserable 33 months to go
 
As far as the clearance issue, I'm thinking a nice heavy set of bolt cutters might be a good thing to have on hand, if you have to cut the old rod in order to get the clearance to get it out. Just trying to cover all possible contingencies. On a job like this Murphy's Law can kick into overtime at any time.

That is great you were able to help out a family member with a nice vehicle with a lot of life left in it. New wheel bearings at less than 58k is very surprising though..
There was a very slight humb after I hit a decent sized pothole in Indianapolis. The dealer was very decent and replaced the problem one and my ocd replaced the other a week later. It was so faint they could barely hear it but did it since I’ve bought quite a few cars there, not what most mechanics would see on a daily basis.

Pretty much, yep. 125k. Same maintenance and original owner. The wife’s got a 24 Altima sl and I spend probably a 1/3 of my year in hertz rentals. I’d drive this rogue to the west coast and not give it a second thought.
 
The way the title of the thread reads, I was expecting a story on how you tripped, fell down, and accidently signed your title over to someone! 😂

That's a nice thing you did. Sounds like this girl got an amazing car.

Thank you. I’m apprehensive about selling things to family or extended. Any issue that arises will always be my fault. She did take it to her uncles shop and he told her to buy it. I use carfax garage and have noted every last thing that I did to it, right down to wiper blades. All self service and nothing ever shortcutted or missed. Now she can take her jeep compass with the cords hanging out of the tires and drive it to the scrapyard or sell it as is.

Knock on wood, I've had a pretty good track record of selling high mileage vehicles in recent years. I am very transparent about what I sell and also thoroughly recondition vehicles prior to sale. Two of them have even been sold to folks on this site.
