Is there any sane reason to buy a brand new shitbox/econobox? It seems like an awful waste of money considering what you are getting.

pic related has a base MSRP of $11,990 (more like 12-13k after fees though)

Well, you could buy a used one and literally get the same thing, no? that or a better car for the same-ish money.

Not picking on Versa's alone, but the econobox tier in general
>>
>>14950156
These are only bought by people that don't have 2.5-4k cash on hand. A 10 year old civic has better build quality and has all the features/mpg you need.

Not at all. I want to not give a fuck when some asswad at Walmart doors my daily driver real bad.

Reliability. You get more years of service out of it.

>>14950558
Or by someone who wants a New Reliable Car and Doesn't Care About Cars.
Also, maybe in the US where reliability and spec are gimped compared to the rest of the world.

>>14950558
When I was new to the US, I got a car load relatively easy without history for a 5k car used car...

And that's exactly my point, an older car will be a much better choice

>>14950156
Get a used 1.8t 2014-2015 Jetta if you want something recent and actually has a lick of performance potential.
>>
>>14950889
I'm not saying I want one, I just wanted to know if there are reasons for buying one when you can get a used one for a lot cheaper
>>
>>14950156
practically no expensive maintenance for 10 years and fixed price service plans. if you cant wrench It would be cheaper to get one than to buy a used shitbox.
>>

>no expensive maintenance for 10 years
Not on a Nissan. Lol
>>
>>14950951
what goes wrong on new cars? I've never owned a car <10 years old.

on older 20ishyo cars i've had to do things like replace OEM original factory installed bushings and perform engine overhauls. work that would cost thousands at a mechanic but costs like 10$ for me to do myself.

what kind of problems are to be expected?
>>
>>14950989
CVT transmissions mostly. They feel awful and the lighter ones need replacements way more often than an essential part of the vehicle (transmission) should.

Lots of shit can break on Chrysler vehicles and other low build quality brands.
>>
>>14950156
Do not get the 2013 Sentra seen a lot of trans problems. Also seen people hating on new nissans.
>>
>>14950156
nissan is shit especially if you spend less than 30k for one pretty much an infiniti with no options and fwd sub 30k look at used civic si doesnt matter if youre not into cars its an excellent daily dont like honda? get a fucking prius and fuck off then
