Used Nissan for Sale by Owner on Craigslist
Nissans are plentiful and priced lower than equivalent Toyotas and Hondas, which makes them attractive on Craigslist. The trucks (Frontier, Titan) and the older V6 cars have strong reputations.

Common problems to check on a used Nissan
The biggest concern is the CVT automatic used in most Altima, Sentra, Rogue, Versa and Murano models since roughly 2007. Ask for CVT fluid service records, and on the test drive watch for shudder, whining or delayed acceleration. Older Pathfinders and Frontiers (2005–2010) can suffer radiator failure that mixes coolant into the transmission.
Whatever the model, always run a VIN history report, check that the name on the title matches the seller's ID, and have an independent mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection. Use our 50-point used car inspection checklist on the test drive.
