2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV — would you pay more for documentation than lower mileage?

Comparing two older enthusiast cars: one has lower mileage but thin history, the other has higher mileage with years of invoices and owner notes. Assuming both inspect well, how much value do you put on records? Any data points from owners would help. Ambient temp was about 45°F when I noticed it.

Software recalls make me ask how much of 'driving' lives in a module now. If this is a 2027 reveal, I wouldn't map it onto today's 2017 Nissan Altima ownership costs yet. That's where I'd start. Did the worksheet show tax yet? If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

New-model numbers always look better than curb weight and tire size. On a 2017 Nissan Altima, I'd care more about the remedy and downtime than the press wording. I'd do that before spending real money. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

On “would you pay more for documentation than,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Stop there until you know. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
