The cars features were in good condition and well maintained. It was clean and intact apart from very minimal scratches. The car appeared to be new despite having mileage and a previous owner. The value presented itself in well condition to match for the selling price.

The 2021 Nissan Sentra SV is by far the best Sentra yet - sadly our new 21 was taken out with less than 10,000 miles on it by an uninsured and unregistered illegal motorist. The oncoming car hit our vehicle while doing 54 mph in a 40 mph zone. All ten airbags deployed. Our car was spun 90 degrees and sent 42 feet backwards from the point of impact. The Sentra did what it was designed to do -- crumpled in the engine compartment to take most of the blow. Our son was able to walk away with bumps, bruises, cuts from the airbags, and just a major injury to his right hip and leg. His hip and leg were severely bruised to the bone --were on the verge of breaking. The tow company said they were astounded that he was able to basically walk away -- albeit on crutches for a couple weeks -- because other cars with the level of damage as to his Sentra had worse outcomes. The 21 Sentra SV is a great re-design and offers incredible value with the Safety Shield 360 technology. The fuel economy is also great. This is a daily and reliable kind of vehicle. Zero gravity seats in our model were also a big plus. Thanking Nissans engineers for their excellent engineering design because this car saved our sons life.
