The engines are fine to 200,000 miles; the early CVTs often are not. On 2013–2019 cars, treat 90,000+ miles without CVT fluid records as a transmission bill waiting to happen.

Quick answer

A 2017 Nissan Sentra in good condition with average mileage (about 112,500 miles) is worth roughly $6,950 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $6,400 to $7,500, or about $8,000 at a dealer. Note: 2017 is a flagged year for this model (2013–2017) — The class's worst CVT record: shudder, overheating, failure. Nissan extended the warranty because it had to. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.

2018–2019: same basic transmission with fewer complaints; still verify fluid service
2020+: new platform, dramatically better record; only minor electronics and brake-wear complaints so far
