Analysis
The Altima SL is a fine commuter — comfortable, efficient, well-equipped — but 87,320 miles for $17,568 is 60k-mile pricing. Comparable 2020 Altima SLs with 80–90k miles trade $14,000–$16,000. The $2,000+ premium here buys nothing.
The CVT is the mechanical watch item: Nissan’s Jatco CVTs reward fluid services and punish neglect, so the service history is the whole ballgame at 87k. Even with clean records, the price is over market. This needed to be $15,000. MOOSED.
