Pre-Owned 2018 Nissan Maxima | Shoreline, WA

Nissan cars are famously durable, serving their drivers well for many years, sometimes even decades. The average lifespan of a well-kept Nissan is 200,000 to 300,000 miles. This impressive longevity makes a Nissan ideal for a used car purchase. You can expect your pre-owned Nissan to run smoothly and faithfully long beyond most other cars. 


Why a Pre-Owned Nissan Is a Dependable Choice

Designed for Long-Term Performance

Nissans are engineered and constructed with lifespan in mind. The world-class manufacturing methods and materials make for an extremely sturdy vehicle with engine, transmission, exhaust system, brakes, cabin comforts, safety features, and all other components designed to stand the test of time, even when used heavily. 

Multi-Point Inspections and Vehicle History Reports

Buying a used Nissan needn’t be risky at all. You have several safeguards against reliability issues. Firstly, we put each pre-owned car on our lot through a rigorous multipoint inspection. On top of this, you can check each car’s maintenance history with a detailed vehicle history report from a respected third-party service like CARFAX or AutoCheck. 

Find the Perfect Nissan With a Broader Choice

Buying used also allows you to browse and select from a greater range of options. The used car market has models from many prior years, sometimes including paused or discontinued models. This makes it more likely that you’ll find the perfect vehicle, one that you’ll want to take great care of over the years. 

Afford a Higher-End Nissan Model or Trim

The significant cost savings you make with a used Nissan (sometimes 30, 40, or even 50 percent below the original price) might allow you to afford a better trim or model. Considering how many miles the car still has to go, this often means a fantastic deal. 

Reduced Insurance Costs Save You Even More Money

Another cost-reducing factor is the fact that used cars typically require lower insurance costs than brand-new models. This is because insurance providers base their premiums largely on the purchase price of the car. 

How To Optimize Your Nissan’s Lifespan 

As long as you take good care of your Nissan, it’ll keep you safe and happy on the road for many, many years to come. Make sure to change the oil and all other essential fluids on time. Look after the tires with routine air pressure checks, rotations, alignments, and balancing. 

The air filters will need to be replaced at least once a year. The brakes, transmission, electrical system, and exhaust also require regular inspections by a professional.
