Car financing: the 2012 Nissan NV
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Nissan NV for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2012 Nissan NV, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the NV
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Reading the spec sheet
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Who the NV suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Space, size and seats
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the NV on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Let us know
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Nissan NV from us first.
Ask us about the 2012 Nissan NV
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2012 Nissan NV for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the 2012 Nissan NV
Does CarmaCars sell the 2012 Nissan NV?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a 2012 Nissan NV before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2012 Nissan NV have recalls?
NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
