Scotty-
Watching your youtube constantly, I realize you're not too big on S. Korea cars (Hyundai and KIA). Turns out my 2017 Nissan Rogue is made in S. Korea by looking up the VIN (my surprise). Any need to be concerned? Do regular fluid changes and drive no more than 3000 RPM due to CVT transmission. 70k miles and runs fine, should I sell it in this market?

Congratulations! You own a Renault Samsung Rogue -

If you’re getting top dollar for it, and you already have another replacement vehicle lined up, go ahead.
On the other hand, if you’re getting offered peanuts, keep driving it..
There isn't anything wrong with a car being assembled by "Samsung Motors",
the Korean company that assembles Renualt, Nissan, and Mitsubishi (same company) cars in Korea.
The Koreans can put together a car like any other people, the fit and finish is usually great.
It's no different than one built in the US, Korea, or France - All Nissans are pretty much the same
Nissans and Renault's best cars, like the Samsung SM3 were built in Korea or Turkey.
The worst ones are usually Spanish, and I remember seeing very poor paint on Chinese Renault-Nissan
What Scotty means is that cars that are designed by Korean companies for the US market tend to be subpar.
And that's the same issue with this Nissan, it's assembled well but the transmission is crap.

If you can easily afford the upgrade to a newer and better car, why not.
