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! |

Nissan prices replacement Leaf battery at $5,500
Fri, Jun 27 2014The battery pack is the single most expensive component in a plug-in vehicle and, until now, figuring out the cost to replace one has been a bit of a mystery. Last year, Nissan tried a $100/month price for a new battery in its popular Leaf, but was loudly criticized for that attempt. Today, Nissan is changing gears with a big announcement regarding the price of a new pack for your Nissan Leaf: $5,500 to buy. With an asterisk. Nissan's Brian Brockman, writing at My Nissan Leaf, announced that Nissan Leaf replacement batteries are now available to purchase at certified Leaf dealers in the US at a suggested retail price of $5,499. These packs are the ones found in 2015 Leaf models, which are similar to the ones the Leaf has always had, just with a different, better battery chemistry. To buy a new pack, you need to give Nissan your original battery pack (which Nissan says will be recycled and has a value of $1,000) and the $5,500 "does not include tax, installation fees or an installation kit required for 2011 and 2012 vehicles." That kit costs around $225. A $100/month financing program will still be available (details will be made available later) but now it will have an end date and the driver will own the pack at the end of the payment process. All replacement packs will have the same eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty as the battery in a new Leaf. You can read Brockman's full statement below or over on My Nissan Leaf. Ever since the Leaf entered the market in late 2010, Nissan has been dealing with degrading battery issue, both as a real thing (in warm climates like Arizona) and as a worry in the mind of potential customers. Now that we know how much it'll cost to get a new pack, we can calculate that the overall cost for a new 24-kWh pack is now officially $6,500. That means the price to a customer is less than $270-per-kWh. That's quite low compared to some early estimates, right on target with others and a very big deal for EV shoppers and drivers out there. Hi all: I'm happy to be back to provide a long-awaited update on the Nissan LEAF battery replacement plan. Last year, I posted preliminary details of the program that we'd created based on early survey data, and it led to spirited discussion (and very vocal criticism). So we went back to the drawing board with your comments and the ongoing guidance of the LEAF Advisory Board.
Nissan recalling 909k vehicles globally over accelerator issue
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Nissan is issuing a massive recall that will see the Japanese automaker repair 908,900 vehicles worldwide, with nearly 100,000 of the affected models in the United States. While an official recall notice from Nissan or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is not yet available, Reuters has been able to confirm the recall with Nissan.
Nissan's recall is kind of the opposite of the Toyota unintended acceleration, in that it covers a lack of acceleration. According to the report, a sensor in the gas pedal can develop faults, leading to a sluggish acceleration or an outright stall regardless of how much throttle the driver dials in. The huge recall covers mostly Japanese domestic models like the Serena, X-Trail, Lafesta and Fuga, which make up for 764,800 of the 908,900 faulty vehicles. However, 98,300 Infiniti M sedans are being recalled in the US, although it's unclear at this time which model years and trims are affected. The remaining vehicles are found in Europe and Oceania, according to Nissan spokesman Chris Keefe.
No injuries or accidents have been reported due to the faults. The 90-minute repair will see techs replace the accelerator pedal and tweak the engine control programs. We'll update this story as soon as Nissan or NHTSA makes an official statement.
2013 Nissan Frontier gets substantial price drop, better fuel economy
Mon, 04 Mar 2013With the competition dwindling (or dying) among compact trucks, Nissan is looking to make some minor changes to the 2013 Frontier to snag a few extra sales for its aging pickup. Pricing and fuel economy are probably two of the most important vehicle stats among new-car buyers, and the 2013 Nissan Frontier has made vast improvements in both areas over the 2012 model.
First things first: The MSRP of both the King Cab and Crew Cab models have dropped by $1,270 with new starting prices of $17,990 and $22,030 (*not including the $845 destination charge), respectively. The biggest price drop is seen on the SV Crew Cab 4x2, which dropped $1,450 to its new price of $23,990. The important thing here is that the 2013 Frontier King Cab is now priced just a few hundred dollars more than a regular cab version of the Toyota Tacoma. Nissan is also offering a new SV Value Truck Package that includes all the equipment of the previous SV Premium Utility Package (spray-on bedliner, Utili-Track in-bed cargo system with four adjustable cleats and Bluetooth) and adds in a rearview monitor and dual-zone air conditioning.
Another key change made for 2013 was to the Frontier's fuel economy. Except for the base-model truck (King Cab, inline-four, manual transmission, two-wheel drive), all other configurations have seen increases in city and/or highway fuel economy to the tune of one or two miles per gallon; the biggest improvement was to the V6 models with the automatic transmission, which saw an improvement of one mpg city and two mpg highway. Nissan accomplished this with better aerodynamics and updated internal engine components to reduce friction. Aero changes include a seal between the cab and bed, a tailgate spoiler and a new front chin spoiler.
