My 99 camry expired as I drove into my driveway yesterday afternoon
It had been overheating, used a product that was supposed to seal gasket leaks but it didnt work. Had to stop several times on the way home and wait for the temp to go down
As soon as I turned off the car I hear a pop, steam from everywhere and it seems apparent that oil was indeed in the radiator as the engine is now a sloppy beige color
Fortunately I had been talking with a good friend who works at a Nissan dealer and will be picking up a 2017 rogue awd saturday morning Very reasonable lease w 15000 miles a year,
The camry only had 227800 miles on it. That is 2000 miles more than my corolla had when the drunk hit me and totalled it I replaced that with a 300M great car for 90000 miles then everything broke including rack and pinion (twice)
On the bright side, I got to ride the beemer to work today and also will be riding it tomorrow Win win The Valk will get to have its day in the sun Sunday

2017 rogue awd You are really stepping up to the plate with that one after the Camry. It's about time you spend some of your money. Our "GOOD" car is a 2000 Acura. Jim |

good luck with the Nissan, you will need it, although being a lease who cares just turn it in at the end of the lease is all, do not keep it.
Nothing runs as long, in general, as a Toyota or Honda with less repairs.

exactly turn it in at 33 months when Nissan offers to pay the balance of lease with no extra fees and no down payment on a 2020 model whatever
Daughter is on 2nd altima, great car 30mpg and not a whit of trouble out of it
The honda crv's are known to have tranny problems, jeeps lots of issues, rav4 didnt have the features like rear side warning and collision warning and was much more money down and monthly
I needed a car that I could step into without stressing my hips and knees and this, although nowhere near the power of my 01,300M (I also got that from my friend) is still respectable 170 something hp and awd

I bought a 2016 in March that they still had. I can't lease, I go about 30-40k miles a year. Rides great, comfortable, pretty peppy with that little 4 banger and gets between 32-36MPG back and forth to work. They threw in a 5yr/50,000 mile service thing, got my 15k service done a couple weeks ago. If you service it every 5k miles it has a forever powertrain warranty. I'll either drive it into the ground, or treat it nice for 2 years and trade up while it's still got decent trade in value.

oss you'll love that rouge. the wife has a 2011 with 60,000 trouble free miles and I have a 2015 with 25,000 trouble free miles.
thinking of trading her 2011 in next year on a 2017 for the wife.
nasa designed the seats for the rouge and in my opinion they are very comfortable
course her 2011 has the worst seat iv'e ever sat in. they were built for short people.
in 2015 nasa designed the seats.
I traded in a Lincoln towncar in for my rouge. and I don't regret it one bit.
