2013 Nissan Xterra 117k miles 1st car for daughter Consumer Reports rates it high. 1. What can i expect for ‘life of the car mileage’ if taken care of properly moving forward. (getting it inspected prior to purchase by 3rd party) 2. Is an extended warranty purchase of value with this vehicle? Thanks, Chris ---

There is not a set answer for longevity on a used car . As any used vehicle take care of it and hope for the best. Not many people on this forum will say buy an extended warranty. They only exist to make money for whoever sells them. If you must have one try to get it as cheap as you can and understand what is actually covered. ---

1. There is no way to even guess since you have no history of service on this car and we have no idea how you are going to service it. With 117K, they must be loads of highway miles - and that’s a good thing! And 2. Don’t bother with an extended warranty. Just put aside the same amount in savings every month when repairs are needed.
