LOL! I'd imagine the manual transmission is the most likely to be replaced out of the bunch. I think the engine and drive shaft would hold up fine.

Nissan's search doesn't sound that implausible to me. They want at least a specific amount of mileage and passing on the message to a very specific target audience.

Jim H. is still in the DesertZAssociation.com , in Arizona . But I think you have to join their club/website now to post . Good luck .

PS I may have his number somewhere if you really need it . Send me a pm . His car should definitely meet the standard .

I am almost at 106k so I'm not really close to the 130k. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about that at this point haha

Ok I am at that mileage however I am FI'd for about 10k miles. I won't qualify since I did a Engine and tranny swap but everything else is the same. Just today I passed 134845 when I parked it this morning.

It is common for NISSAN to turn to Dealers to find high mileage cars for their year to buy back for testing...

There are many posts about peoples car being bought back for this reason if you search some older threads...

Can confirm getting 2-3 buyback flyers in the mail - just assumed it was the usual marketing though.

there is a difference between the Factory buying back... its usually more under-cover... not Advertised...

The flyers you get in the mail about buying back your car, is them trying to get you to trade in and get something else...

fishing...

like those things saying your warranty is going to expire...

Why would anyone trust a Nissan Stealership to do work on your car, they would no doubt break something else in the process. Then give you a bill to fix what they broke that was unrelated to the stated work. Nissan has proved to be a real ***** of a company to have to work with.
