i would probably trade it in but would be reticent to get a new Nissan
after hearing that their quality has slipped considerably in the last 10
years and major problems with their CVT. $1,000 seems cheap for a
tranny repair and may not last long.



About 3 years ago my son had a Nissan with the CVT that went out at
about 130,000 miles. Nissan would not do anything about it as it was
10,000 out of the extended warrenty that Nissan put on that transmission
after many of they went out. Cost him around $ 4000 to get it repaired.

He got rid of that junker after another year or so.



We had a Nissan Sentra ca 1990 that was a great car but traded it in
when repair value was approaching book value. Apparently quality
started going downhill when they partnered with Renault after 2000.

I had a CVT on a 2016 Subaru Forester that got totaled in 2019 replaced
with a Subaru Crosstrek with CVT. I like the CVT and get great mileage.
Hopefully some of the early problems with this type transmission have
been ironed out by now.
