I am trying to buy a Nissan Sentra buit title because its radiator fell apart while in a high curve. I was wondering before i buy it how long is it expected to last. The car currently has about 79,000 miles and it’s a 2007. Please, somebody that knows aobut cars tell me something about it and some other tips as well. Thanks.

the radiator is a mute point.
the car should last until 150,000 miles with ease.
but to be sure have the compression check. if all cylinders are good, the car will hold out.
Nissan is a good make of Import vehicles. Most Asian vehicles hold up better than the ones made in USA. I have had less problem with all the Nissans that I have owned.
If you meant “rebuit title” the failure of a radiator would not be the true reason for it having a rebuilt title. When buying a rebuilt title vehicle you really should have a professional check it out for you. A seller doesn’t have to tell you what was really done for it to have a rebuilt title. Beware, of rebuilt titled vehicles because it affects the value of the vehicle and Car lots normally are not allowed by law to resale them.
buit title because its radiator fell apart in a high curve? I don’t know what your asking. MR-2.0 liter Sentra motors do not like sludge and oil must be changed at regular intervals. Rebuilt Title means the car was totaled in a crash the radiator just does not fall apart. In a crash the front end gets smashed back into the motor. CAR FAX costs a little following up with the vin# and asking a Nissan Dealer if they can run the warranty repair history. If the car has never seen a dealership be very suspicious. 79,000 miles in less than 3 years means this car was used and driven a lot of miles each year. If the engine has been overheated abused you may not know right away. I would walk away unless this car is very cheep.
Generally, the radiator doesn’t have much to do with how long the car will last, providing the car was not driven for an extended period of time without a working radiator. If the car was driven too much without a working radiator, though, it could cause permanent damage to the engine.
