(Not that those are reasons for just simply not choosing to buy the damned thing in the first place, must be the reason sending a car to the junkyard. You can find project NISSAN CUBE you dreamed of by searching below. I bought the part myself off ebay and installed it. My owner maintenance handbook calls for a transmission flush every 60,000 miles.

Knock on wood, nearing 100,000 miles I haven’t had the first hiccup from my transmission here in relatively hilly Tennessee.My cube being a 2010, it thankfully is covered under the 10-year/120,000-mile extended transmission warranty. I love these cars because they’re huge and comfortable inside, and I appreciate all the design quirks, but Nissan continues to birth their babies with cancerous time-bomb CVT transmissions.Yep…the exact reason my best buddy scraped his Maxima versus attempting to fix it. So apparently these have proven unprofitable for the top tier wrecking yards. The CVT and “World engine” have to burn out prematurely sometime.“I’m surprised there have not been any 2007-10 Calibers/Compass yet in the Junkyard Find. In the salt belt especially, drums are much more hassle-free.Is that a Mercedes R-Class next to it? Cheap cars wrecked from collision, flood, repos and more, to repair or parts. I feel bad for my brother in law, who had a 1999ish BMW 540i with low miles. The sofa soft front seats were quite nice and the “cubic hair” on the dash was a great place for sunglasses. It was a great, reliable little car (not a minivan). Drives well.“If the sight of a Cube makes you angry, please explain why in the comments.”“If the sight of a Cube makes you angry, please explain why in the comments.”None of the above explains their surprising appearance in junkyards.That would be my guess too – CVT replacement/fix too expensiveBut a mechanical issue on a Japanese car? )The first xB was extremely gut-less and had love-it or hate-it styling. The same exact thing happens to 3rd gen Toyota 4Runners, granted at a much older age.Same drive train from the first generation Versa hatch? Most of the cars have some kind of damage that was caused by traffic accidents, vandalism, flood or hail. I love to read these thorough responses from long term owners, I feel like TTAC is particularly good at drawing these sorts of comments out from the ether.Thanks for the rundown Banger!

I can’t make myself drive something like a Corolla. People don’t usually send perfectly good, reliable cars that aren’t wrecked to the junkyard because they’ve grown tired of them.

It hauls my drum kit, or my two kids and a load of groceries from Aldi, pretty well — all while being easy to park and relatively cheap on gas.I’ve always loved Cubes. Stuff like this though is very interesting. If I were putting on 15,000 miles a year and depending on this car every single day, I’d already be leaning toward “sell” after seven years.I hate the thought of getting rid of it. The burning question is whether someone already swiped the optional dash-top shag carpet.Yeah, I feel old seeing a non-wrecked 2010 car in a junkyard. That, and the one I drove had really weird on-center steering feel. I agree they were hit harder by cost cutting in the early-mid 2000s than perhaps any other Japanese auto maker and that coupled with the mass CVT roll-out did them no favors. Holding.my breath since but no problems yet at 135kmiles. If the Jeeps and Calibers run a cooler thermostat, maybe that’s it.FWIW, one owner on Nissan Cube Owners Club on Facebook recently reported she got 185,000 miles out of her stock CVT before it finally grenaded without much warning. She says she doesn’t think there will ever be another car she loves as much as the cube. Front drums on the Beetle are a bit feeble though…Once again, manual transmission for the longevity win. No way. There was a “recall” on this, but his truck was just outside the mileage window for a full free replacement, he had to eat half the cost which was like $2000.
