Hello, really excited to join the NV family! We just bought a 2013 SL V8 with 110,000 miles on it for $20k. I know the mileage is high, but we had a limited budget, and finding this car used in Colorado is near impossible. And this one was 45 mins away from us, and is coming from a wonderful family, and from what we can tell, has been maintained super well. Since there is a wealth of wisdom in this group, I wanted to find out what are some things I should go get checked out with the age/mileage (outside of oil changes)? I've been reading Nissan's maintenance schedule as well, but hearing from experience is super helpful to make an informed decision on any items to fix moving forward. I'm not a very mechanically inclined person, but there is a shop in Denver called Colorado Fleetworks, that was recommended to me. The gentleman who owns it said that my 110k NV is "low miles" in his opinion ? And that if he was me, he would do a full service with them. He said they'd get it on the lift, check out the suspension, brakes, axles etc., as well as take care of oil change, change spark plugs, check fluids etc. He said it would approximately be $800. Does that sound like a good deal? Thanks!

Curious what kind of issues you've had (or expect) from your NV I'm personally kind of sick of how frequently my 2007 sprinter has been in the shop since i bought it (at 80,000 miles). When buying I didn't realize the high top version could be had from 27k-32k brand new.. they can also tow much more and the 4x4 conversion is around 10k. The NV's do use more gas and seems like space efficient is less as the hook sticks out so far compared to euro style sprinters. Does anyone know the distance from the back of the seat to the back door?
