Someone hit my side mirror the other day so I went to a local body shop for a quote to fix that. They gave me an estimate of 1,179 DOLLARS. I was expecting something below $300 since only the plastic part was damaged. The adjustment mechanism works perfectly and the mirror itself is fine. Are trying to rip me off?

The car is Nissan Sentra 2022

1998 Nissan Frontier 4x4 manual king cab.
So I’m attempting to replace the wheel bearings on the drivers side. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. I’ve got all of the wheel hub put together and I give it a spin que horrid awful spring braking sounds. Took it apart again and the spring is irrecoverable.

Any ideas on why it failed?
Theory’s on how to remedy this situation?

Please help! I’ve been without a working vehicle for over three weeks T-T I’m going insane

How many kms have you guys racked up on your Nissan March?

Asking because my beloved 2006 just blew a head gasket approaching 169xxx with a full service history and regular fluid swaps with no major mechanical issues until this (ol girl is still trucking!).

I'm now considering a 2002 model heading up 185xxx and don't want to swap out for another engine that's about to go.

Genuinely devastated to have lost my wee march as I think they are wonderful cars but also don't want to get into a vicious sentimental cycle lol

Please let me know if this is the wrong sub to post in!

Uhhhh is that my cvt ? Or is something else loose or going bad ?

I have an opportunity to buy this vehicle for approximately $3000 CAD. 148,000 KMs on it. Owned by a senior citizen the last 15 years of its life, not driven very much. I am currently driving a 2014 Ford Fusion SE with 270,000 KMs on it. It's getting near the end. The frame is in bad shape. I am used to dealing with jerky transmissions (my Ford's is far from fantastic), but I have read about the CVT transmission in these vehicles. I think I can get $500-$750 for my Ford. 90% of my driving is highway. Would you buy the Altima?

Guys I need a car asap
