Wow I had little hope of this saga ending well. This thread was headed to the dumpster fire hall of fame early on but thankfully good samaritan @fatsocells stepped in and extinguished it!

Speaking of Terrains, whatever happened to the $199 pm Terrains? I miss those…

The ending we all wanted for NJRonbo, good job OP.

You may have picked the one possible choice that is worse. Nissan CVTs are among the worst, especially if they haven’t been meticulously maintained.
This is a beautiful read, everyone got what they wanted. OP made out with a good deal, LH got to yell at someone and then in the end help them out. This is beautiful.

I am so glad for this resolution. I kept reading this thread and kept thinking “no, no, NO, NO NOOOOO.”
Thankfully, this was resolved to the best level possible. For the future, never buy a Terrain or Outlander. Also, never buy a used rental fleet vehicle.
The poster above who never beats on their rental is the only one I know. I’ve been using rentals for over a decade and they’re all trash quality.

is this the second coming of NJ Ronbo? Are you recommending OP look for an accord hybrid?

Yea there’s way too many people out there that thrash their own cars, let alone rentals. Plus most rentals I’ve had lately were not well maintained. Oil changes maybe, but the tires were mismatched and heavily worn for example. Dangerous recalls not completed as well.
The only good thing about a used rental Outlander or Terrain is there is a low probability they have undergone repeated e-brake slides in a Comfort Inn parking lot.
Since our old friend NJRonbo came up in this discussion, I feel obligated to give everyone a warning so they can get their popcorn ready. Seems that he is circling the waters on the Genesis and Lexus forums looking at a GV70 or NX!

You’re checking rental car VINs for recalls?

You are choosing between a pile of garbage and a mound of trash. The two worst possible cars you could buy. Just ride the bus or a bicycle if these are your options. I would not drive either for free.
