They went out of the factories with the sensors not tightened to specs and they can come loose and leak.

The engine is indeed an interference engine and that chain is a big risk. It is not a 3k fix. It is potentially a new engine at 7 to 9k.

I will not consider the car until I actually call Nissan and get the low down from them. Even if the car is not on the service list, I plan to have a printout of the service problem and hand it to them and see if they bite. "I am really really doing you a favor taking this car off your hands."
