Skip the Brunt of Depreciation

Instead, you’re gaining a used Sentra that’s still running beautifully for a huge discount, with far lower monthly payments on the car loan, plus lower insurance premiums as well.

This lower overall cost of ownership might allow you to buy a sleeker, more upscale Sentra SR trim, or perhaps even an SR Midnight Edition. You may also find available features like a moonroof, premium audio system, or heated leather seats installed by the first owner.

 

Sentras Are Famously Reliable

Nissan builds vehicles with legendary longevity, and the Sentra is no exception; many owners report strong performance even after 250,000 miles of daily driving. This means fantastic value for your initial discounted investment.

The reliability of well-kept Sentras helps to maintain resale value once the initial new-car depreciation hit has passed. This means you can expect a good price if you ever decide to trade up in the future.

 

Abundant Interior Cabin Space
