| Step | When | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Use the valuation tool | Before you visit | You have a number to compare the offer with. |
| Ask for the trade figure separately | When you get the trade offer | You can see what your trade is worth on its own. |
| Ask for the price alone | When you get the vehicle price | You can see the vehicle price and trade value separately. |
| Get it in writing | Before you sign | You know exactly what number you are agreeing to. |
When we appraise your trade, we check the underbody for signs of road salt and other wear. Northeast Ohio roads can be tough on the underside of a vehicle, so this helps us get a better picture of its condition. Bring your service records, both keys and your current payoff information.

| Figure | Frontier | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Standard engine | 310-horsepower V6 | Every Frontier comes with a 3.8-liter V6 making 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. |
| Maximum towing | Up to 7,150 lbs | That is the maximum. Your Frontier's towing capacity depends on the exact configuration. |
| Maximum payload | Up to 1,590 lbs. | Payload includes passengers and cargo, so the limit varies by configuration. |
The Frontier can tow up to 7,150 pounds, but not every Frontier has that same rating. The cab, drivetrain, trim and bed length all make a difference. Tell us what you need to tow, and we can help you find a Frontier that fits.
The Frontier guide covers the trims on the ground, payload, the warranty and the service schedule for a truck that tows.

| Coverage | Term | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New vehicle limited warranty | 3 years / 36,000 miles | This is Nissan's basic limited warranty for a new vehicle. |
| Powertrain limited warranty | 5 years / 60,000 miles | Covers major powertrain components, including the engine, transmission and drive axle. |
| EV battery | 8 years / 100,000 miles | Covers the lithium-ion battery, including battery capacity coverage. |
| Certified pre-owned | 7 years / 100,000 miles | The limited powertrain warranty runs from the vehicle's original in-service date. Nissan Certified vehicles also receive a 167-point inspection. |
Buying used? Do not go by the model year alone. Check the original in-service date so you know how much warranty time is actually left. If you are looking at an EV, ask about the remaining battery warranty too.
On an electric Nissan the battery carries its own eight-year, 100,000-mile term. It covers capacity as well as failure. A battery that loses more capacity than the warranty allows qualifies for a claim.
Considering a Nissan Certified vehicle? Ask us to confirm the remaining warranty for the specific vehicle you are looking at. That way, you know exactly what coverage comes with the car before you make your decision.

| Winter factor | What it does | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Lake-effect snow | Snow can pile up quickly near the lake | All-wheel drive can help you get moving, while the right tires help with stopping and handling. |
| Road salt | Salt can build up underneath your Nissan | Give the underside a good rinse during winter, and have it checked when you come in for service. |
| Cold | Cold weather can be tough on an older battery | Have your battery checked before winter, especially if it is a few years old. |
| EV range in the cold | Cold weather can mean less driving range | Preheat your Nissan while it is plugged in when you can, and plan for some range loss on very cold days. |
| Frozen locks and wipers | Cold weather can make small things harder to deal with | Keep a scraper and winter washer fluid in your Nissan so you are ready when temperatures drop. |
If you drive around Lorain County in the winter, snow, ice, road salt and freezing temperatures are all part of the picture. A little preparation can make those winter drives easier on you and your Nissan.
All-wheel drive can help you get moving in snow, but your tires still matter when you need to stop or turn. If you drive an EV, plan for a little less range when the weather gets really cold.
Road salt is another reason to keep up with regular washing and service. A good rinse can help remove salt and other winter grime before it sits underneath your vehicle.
| When | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Day one | Make sure the paperwork matches the car | Check the VIN, trim and price before you head home. |
| First week | Double-check which certified program you bought | Each program comes with its own coverage and benefits. |
| First month | Use any maintenance that came with the car | Check when it needs to be used so you do not miss it. |
| Before winter | Have the battery and tires checked | A quick check can help you get ready for snow and cold weather. |

We give you our best price up front, with no pressure, and put it in writing.
Not on every model. Ask about all-wheel drive on the crossovers, and check the specific vehicle you are looking at.
Ask us to confirm the tier and put it in writing. A window sticker that says certified does not name the tier, and the tiers cover different things. A 10-year-old car cannot be Nissan Certified, but it may qualify for Certified Select.
The terms can be different. If you are looking at another brand on our used lot, ask what coverage comes with that vehicle. The Nissan program applies only to Nissans.
Insurance, fuel, regular maintenance and a reserve for unexpected repairs. That last one can be the hardest to plan for.
Yes. It reduces the loan amount and can lead to smaller monthly payments. On a used car, it can also make the difference between a shorter loan and a longer one.
No. Financing a used car follows the same streamlined process as a new model.
Yes. We offer both, and our finance center can walk you through the options.
A technician who has earned all eight Automotive Service Excellence certifications. It is a defined standard, not a job title, and our technicians have earned it.
Early is a good idea. If you drive a lot, you may use up the mileage before the year is over.
Yes. Our finance team reviews each application individually. Bring proof of income and residence. You can start the application online to get an idea of the rate first. Several auto-loan credit checks within a short period can count as one inquiry. If you have rebuilt credit, your rate may be higher, so keeping the loan term short can help.
Reasonable. Service intervals are regular, and parts are widely stocked at fair prices. Certified cars include the first year of maintenance. Ask our service desk to price a year of scheduled maintenance for your model, then use that figure to plan your budget.
Yes. Buyers come from outside the county, including from well beyond the area. Tell us which car you are interested in and when you are coming, and we can help you plan the visit.
Modern Nissans have a solid record. The certified programs include seven years of powertrain coverage. For any used Nissan, check the underbody condition and service records so you know more about the vehicle you are considering.
The Maxima was a full-size sedan with a strong V6, a comfortable ride and plenty of features. Nissan stopped building it, so if you are shopping for a used one, look at each car on its own. Check the service history, and pay close attention to the CVT service history.
There is not one used Nissan year that works for everyone. A complete service history is a good place to start.
For an older Nissan, ask to see the service records. We can pull them up before you make a decision.
The right Nissan depends on what you need from it. If you want a crossover, the Rogue offers available all-wheel drive for winter driving. If you need a third row, the Pathfinder gives you more seating.
If you tow or haul, take a look at the Frontier. If you have a long commute and want to keep fuel costs in check, the Sentra and Altima are also worth considering.
Set some money aside for repairs when you buy a used car. Ask to see the inspection sheet and service history for the specific car so you have a better idea of what may be coming up.
A certified Nissan can help with some costs through its longer powertrain coverage and included first-year maintenance. You may still need to budget for things like tires, brakes and your insurance deductible, so keeping a repair reserve is still a good idea.
There is not one month that guarantees the best deal. Being prepared can matter more than the calendar. Get pre-approved, know your budget and ask what offers are available on the Nissan you are considering.
