2013 Nissan Sentra with navigation for about 5-6 thousand. Kicker is that it is a salvage car but it has been repaired. It was bought from an auction

I mean it's not a great choice (not bad either) but getting it from an auction was a good idea at least.

You sure that's all it was? It must've been wrecked if it was a salvage car.

Sounds like the car was wrecked, I think this was a very bad choice.

Pull off the plastic cover that covers where the seatbelt attaches to the frame (it would be above your left shoulder when sitting in the driver's seat). If that bolt is rusty, it means the car was underwater. There's no reason that bolt should ever rust.

If that's the case you've made a grave mistake.

Yeah man you should never buy a car at an auction after a hurricane. Check that bolt to be sure. Also did the vehicle have a Kentucky title by chance?

A front bumper on a car like that COULD cause the vehicle to be written off. Sentras are not high end vehicles, so they do not have a lot of value, HOWEVER, repairs can often cost a lot for certain panels. I wouldnt be surprised if just the parts (bumper) is around $1000 from the dealership. Then you have paint, labour, etc...
