What owners wrote
I bought this used car with 25 thousand miles on it, but the transmission never worked. It is too expensive to repair and few people know how to do it, therefore I think I have to buy a new transmission. It is a CVT. I want to know where can I buy a new transmission from nisssan with some kind of discount, actually I am living in guatemala. When I bought the vehicle it was stationary. So thankful for your advice and help.
