Currently driving a 2016 Altima very low mileage. My lease is over this month, my buyout would be only $12,600. This is for the model with remote start, which is a pretty good deal. I am hearing though that Nissans don’t last in the long run, anyone with experience either way? So far car drives well.

Check KBB.com to see how good of a deal you're getting.

kbb.com is not a realistic number, either too high or too low. I deal with that every day ...

First hand experience - Nissan Altima SL 2008; bought brand new. Had 135k miles and it's transmission died last month. Trans repair from the dealership is $4500 all in with only a 12-month/12k miles warranty,  so basically useless.
Another case - my BIL had a 2016 Altima with 65k miles, had the same issue in July.

I researched about the issue and the internet has hundreds of complaints of failed transmission on the Altima. Basically CVT doesn't last long and they don't make them good anymore.

Thé issue is not CVT engine, as Subaru has the BEST CVT engine out there.
The issue is simply Nissan !

That's a bit overpriced, especially when using the stealership!
