We have a 2014 Murano SL with 115K miles- original owner and has been following all scheduled maintenance.
Went for a recall at the dealer and they noted that there is a leak in the transfer case and needs new control arms. Took to our regular mechanic who said the leak is very minor but eventually would probably need to replace the transfer case within the next year (about $3K) and control arms are fine.
So in mid 2023 (estimated 125K) we are going to need to make a decision: repair or sell/trade. I am worried with this mileage that we are going to get other expensive problems occurring (esp the CVT). Not a great time to buy cars either (but we would get a couple of extra $$$ to the trade in).
This is our only car so reliability is important. All good at the moment but I am not mechanically inclined.
If we did repair I would hope that we could get 3 more years (say get to 170K miles) without additional large costs before getting a new car but not sure if that is just a dream!
Appreciate any advice!
