Reason being is that the transmission pooped the bed and I don't want to tie up any more $$$ in it buying another junk transmission. Its a beautiful little car, but I know without a doubt a Chevrolet engine/trans combo is more reliable.. Reading different forums and google searches has shown that this transmission/radiator issue is a known problem that Nissan won't fix. Whenever a transmission needs replacing at 80K miles to the tune of over $4500 is ridiculous. This car's not worth that much in KBB.
