Check Engine light came on 10 miles out of the used car lot, P0420. My mechanic suggested I wait to fix it...the car lasted three and a half years without needing to replace the cat and never ended up showing any of the usual symptoms. Head gasket ended up blowing at 139,000 miles and that was the end of my Sentra. My mechanic said don't even bother fixing it.
