RepairPal dealer-schedule pricing. Independent shops typically charge less, and your actual cost depends on which services you keep up. Running total is cumulative — each row includes everything before it.
Is a Armada extended warranty worth it?
Probably not. The Nissan Armada's 13% major repair probability over 5 years is below the segment average — 87 out of 100 owners won't hit a repair that exceeds the warranty cost. The most reliable years to buy are the 2012, 2014, and 2020. The exception: if you're buying a 2013, 2017, and 2018, check the known issues before deciding.
Buy new or save on a used Armada?
The Armada loses value faster than most — only 59% retained after 3 years, below the full-size SUV average of 72%. Here's what that means for the new vs used decision.
