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! |

Infiniti rolls out new badge, brand experience — even a brand scent
Thu, Jun 22 2023Infiniti kicked off a brand refresh Thursday, showing off a new logo (and corresponding changes to its physical emblems), dealership aesthetic and what brand representatives described as elements of its "multisensory experience." Do you know what Infiniti is supposed to smell like? Well, you're about to learn. The alterations to the logo are subtle from dead on, but as you can see from our featured image above, its physical form is far more intricate and three-dimensional. This is the fourth generation of Infiniti's signature since the brand was launched in 1989. Yep — Nissan's upscale division is 35 years old this year. Can you believe that? The most significant visual difference is the alterations to the "road" in the center of the logo. Infiniti says this was done to emphasize the notion that the road is endless — infinite, if you will. The clipped point represents the horizon. The physical badges will be illuminated, "boldly" announcing the car's arrival. "Our aim was to subtly evolve the INFINITI logo in support of the bright new chapter that lays ahead," said Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti SVP of global design. "Adding greater emphasis to the point where the infinite road intersects with the horizon, we are showcasing our steadfast commitment to always look forward to the future and to new horizons." The new badge will also be accompanied by a new signature scent and signature sound. The former is a blend of Japanese cypress, cedar and yuzu. The sound "creates a sense of anticipation by marrying powerful musical elements with more serene sounds to deliver a harmonious balance" and will be employed in marketing materials, advertising, dealership experiences and other consumer-facing assets. A new architectural and interior design direction accompanies the update. The aesthetics are based on the Japanese concept of Ma — "a philosophy that considers the space between things," Infiniti said. The result looks modern, sophisticated and convincingly upscale, reminding us of a cross between a Volvo and Mercedes-Benz showroom. Not a terrible place to be. Infiniti's new look rolls out today across its digital spaces.
2014 Nissan Rogue earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Mar 2014The 2014 Nissan Rogue has scored a Top Safety Pick+ award following positive crash test results by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The new crossover scored good results (the highest rating) in the group's five crashworthiness checks and a basic rating for front crash prevention.
The IIHS found that the Rogue also performed well in its small overlap front test with a low risk of injuries, and the driver's space maintained its structure well. It was an improvement over the previous generation, which received a marginal rating in that evaluation. The Rogue's optional forward collision warning system was enough for a basic rating in avoiding accidents.
To qualify as a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint evaluations, plus a good or acceptable result in the small overlap front test. To receive the additional Plus rating in 2014, it must also have a basic, advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention. The IIHS scores vehicles as good, acceptable, marginal or poor, and avoidance systems are scored basic, advanced or superior, depending on the type of system and its performance. Scroll down to watch the videos of the small and moderate overlap crash tests and read the full IIHS statement.
Nissan union wants French to stop meddling with Renault alliance
Thu, Dec 3 2015Nissan is getting some unexpected reinforcements in its ongoing battle with the French government over its involvement in Renault. Its Japanese union, which has traditionally been a very hands-off entity, issued harsh criticism for the French government's attempts to assert control over its alliance partner. According to Bloomberg, this is the first time in 16 years that Nissan's union has weighed on the company's affairs, and it's stating its position on the matter in no uncertain terms. The union called France's attempt at scoring double voting rights within Renault "unacceptable and against the intended spirit of the Alliance." "We support the numerous attempts of Nissan to engage with the French government to find a balanced and constructive solution that will benefit and strengthen the Alliance," the union said in a statement obtained by Reuters. It's unclear what impact the union speaking out will have on the current power struggle between Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn (shown above) and the French government, but we doubt it'll contribute to any quicker of a conclusion.
