2006 Nissan Altima S - Reliable, One Owner, Very Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Garland, North Carolina, United States
|
This would be the perfect car for a college or high school
student, or for anyone who needs ultra-reliable transportation. It's a good
illustration of the fact that the 2006 is the only recent Altima recommended by
Consumer Reports. My wife and I bought this car new in Sept. 2006 and are the
only owners. My wife drove it until a couple of months ago, when I bought her a
Buick because she wanted something soft and comfortable (we are in our
mid-60s). The car has been extremely reliable, with no breakdowns or mechanical
problems. All systems and accessories are in perfect working order (power
steering, brakes, windows, door locks, driver’s seat, mirrors, ice-cold A/C,
etc). It has a tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and AM/FM/CD stereo. I am
driving it to work occasionally now, so the mileage will change slightly. I
just decided to sell it because we have five vehicles at home (for two drivers)
and I prefer to drive my ‘92 Mercedes or my ‘77 Fiat Spider. All our children
and grandchildren of driving age already have good vehicles. The car was in a minor accident about five years ago, when
an oncoming driver came across the center line and my wife had to decide
instantly to either hit him head-on or go into the ditch – thankfully, she
chose the ditch. It was completely repaired with all-new parts, and there has
been no problem of any kind with it since. The car has a few normal little “booboos”
such as small scratches, parking lot bumps, stains, etc. The most
noticeable thing is the clear coating, which was scratched up when our
granddaughter decided to surprise us by washing and cleaning the car and used a
scouring pad to get pine tar off the hood and back deck. The left front fender
has a very small crease in it, and the back right door is about 1/8 inch out of
alignment from the time I started to back out of the carport without noticing
that door was still open (no air or water leaks – it is completely sealed and
you have to be looking for it to notice it). The car looks great from 15-20
feet, and only shows these things from up close. Check the photos carefully and
you’ll see what I mean. This car has been meticulously maintained, and I have all
service records for everything that has ever been done. I have the original
window sticker and paperwork. All of this is in a file which will go to the new
owner if you want it. I don’t know of anything the car needs now, or will need
in the future except normal maintenance. I think I have covered all the relevant information about
the car; if there are any further questions, feel free to contact me. I have total confidence in this vehicle, and would drive it anywhere,
anytime. In fact, if it doesn’t sell for some reason, we will drive it from NC
to Arkansas for a family reunion in July. There's no reason it won't go another
160K miles. Please look at my feedback and bid with confidence. I will let the
bidding begin at $500, and I set a very reasonable reserve of $3000. I’m not
interested in taking any less; it’s worth that much to me as a spare. Kelly
Blue Book (kbb.com) prices it for a private sale at $3900 in fair condition and
$4600 in good condition. NADA guides show an average trade-in of $3400 and a
retail of $6450. Both of those take into account the existing mileage, of
course. Good luck and happy bidding! Winning bidder must send $500
via PayPal within 24 hours, with the balance due in cash and the car picked up
within 7 days. Thanks! |

2015 Nissan Murano is the Sport Sedan Concept of crossovers [w/video]
Wed, 16 Apr 2014The edgy new Nissan Murano has just been officially unveiled at today's New York Auto Show following its online debut earlier this week. Wearing sheetmetal clearly inspired by the Japanese brand's creatively named Sport Sedan Concept, the third-generation Murano continues the tradition of offering dramatic styling and surprisingly premium interiors.
With headlights and a grille that look lifted from the Detroit Auto Show concept, the Murano arguably has more design presence than it's ever had before, thanks to its sharply styled headlights and in-your-face grille. The profile is highlighted by an aggressive kink in the beltline behind the C-pillar, while the rear of the crossover sports a smallish rear window and strongly styled C-shaped taillights.
The redesigned interior isn't quite as dramatic a departure as the exterior, with a layout reminiscent of the larger Pathfinder. The material quality, though, looks to be significantly improved for 2015. There are also no shortage of optional, upmarket interior items, like heated and cooled front seats, a heated rear bench and an upsized panoramic sunroof.
Roller coaster or racecar, which pulls more Gs?
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Looking for a thrill? You're not the only one. You'll find kindred spirits at airfields going up for a skydive, atop bridges and towers with bungees attached to their feet and standing in line for roller coasters at the local amusement park. But you'll also find them in the paddock at the racing circuit.
So what's the commonality? G-force. It's like gravity, only in each of these cases, it's experienced by human invention. But which activity subjects your body to the greatest amount of g-force? That's what Nissan set to find out.
Before putting them back in the cockpit, Nismo sent out two of its young hot-shoes - Jann Mardenborough and Mark Shulzhitskiy - to an amusement park in the UK with a camera and a g-force meter to find out if any of the coasters could produce as much lateral gravitational force as an LMP2 racing car. See what they found in the pair of videos, below.
Nissan's plan to supply US Mitsubishi dealers with family sedan stalls
Tue, Jan 27 2015Mitsubishi has quietly had some big success recently. The Japanese brand sold 77,643 vehicles in the US for all of 2014, a 24.8 percent jump over 2013. While still relatively small overall (Ford sold 74,355 F-Series trucks just in December, for example), it shows definite growth for the sometimes forgotten automaker. Unfortunately, the latest news might not help the company's future expansion. The proposed partnership of Mitsubishi and the Renault-Nissan Alliance on at least one midsize sedan for the US market is off the table, according to Automotive News. The company informed sellers that the collaboration had fallen through during a National Automobile Dealers Association meeting. "I told them that the plan has stalled," said Don Swearingen, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Motors North America, to Automotive News. "And I said that's really all I can tell you at this time." Under the original partnership, Mitsubishi was supposed to get a D-segment sedan that would have been built at the Renault-Samsung factory in Busan, South Korea. The automakers were also negotiating for Mitsu to get a C-segment four-door as a global model and developing an electric kei car for Japan together, due in 2016. While the sedan is gone, Mitsubishi isn't completely bereft of improved products in the pipeline. The Mirage Sedan is being launched in the US, and the Outlander is supposed to get a redesign for the 2016 model year. According to Automotive News, the Outlander Sport and Lancer are also due for refreshes in 2016, and a new Mirage is on the way.
