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! |

Alpine unveils N36 LMP2 car that will race in 24 Hours of Le Mans
Mon, 25 Mar 2013This is the Alpine LMP2 competitor you'll see contesting European endurance races this year, including The 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. Parent company Renault showed off the N36 racer at its atelier in Paris, the blue and orange a switch from the yellow, black and white livery Alpine wore last time it was seen in Le Mans way back in 1978 when it won the race.
The team will be run by Signatech-Nissan and the chassis will be powered by a Nissan engine. Nelson Panciatici and Pierre Ragues will contest World Endurance Championship rounds throughout the year, they'll be joined by endurance and IndyCar veteran Tristan Gommendy for Le Mans and Paul-Loup Chatin as the team's reserve driver.
The Alpine N36 will get into its first test this week at Paul Ricard, then experience its first racing miles at the European Le Mans Series round at Silverstone on April 13. The press release below has the full scoop, the photos above have the past and present in high-res glory.
Nissan to present Vision Gran Turismo concept at Goodwood?
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Power up your PlayStation and pop in any edition of Gran Turismo and you'll have hundreds of cars to choose from. But arguably few have managed to bridge the gap between that virtual world and reality than Nissan.
The Japanese automaker is the one responsible for putting the best gamers behind the wheel of actual race cars with its GT Academy, co-sponsored by Nissan and Gran Turismo. Yet while the likes of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi have already revealed their Vision Gran Turismo concepts specifically designed for the game, Nissan has been left behind. And as it is apt to point out in its latest infographic, that's not a position to which it's accustomed.
The graphic outlines all 148 Nissan vehicles you can drive in Gran Turismo, but leaves the last one under wraps, identified only by the date June 10, 2014. That's this Tuesday, when Nissan is hotly anticipated (thanks in no small part to the Tweet below from Nissan VP Andy Palmer) to reveal its own Vision Gran Turismo concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Kayaba, Sumitomo to pay millions for price-fixing in US
Sat, Sep 19 2015Kayaba Industry Co, which does business in the US as suspension parts maker KYB, and Sumitomo Electric Industries are facing payments in the millions to settle price-fixing cases about the components that they make. As part of the Department of Justice's ongoing crackdown of price fixing in the auto industry, KYB agreed to pay $62 million and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to set the cost of shock absorbers from the mid '90s through 2012. The company allegedly worked with co-conspirators to keep the cost of the parts high, and those components then made it into vehicles from Honda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. "Any collusive agreement among competitors to restrict price competition undercuts our free enterprise system and violates the law," said Carter M. Stewart, US Attorney of the Southern District of Ohio, in the DoJ's announcement. Over the past few years, the DoJ has brought cases against 37 parts suppliers and 55 executives, leading to over $2.6 billion in fines. The investigations haven't always been so successful – some of the Japanese execs fled from the US to avoid prosecution. Critics allege that price fixing is simply how business is done. According to Automotive News, Sumitomo Electric Industries is also facing a $50 million settlement in a civil lawsuit that's related to price fixing of parts like wiring harnesses and heater control panels. The plaintiffs include owners and dealers that purchased vehicles with these parts. The company asserts that the violations are from before 2010, and it now has different process in place to avoid further violations. KYB Agrees to Plead Guilty and Pay $62 Million Criminal Fine for Fixing Price of Shock Absorbers Kayaba Industry Co. Ltd., dba KYB Corporation (KYB) has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $62 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix the price of shock absorbers installed in cars and motorcycles sold to U.S. consumers. According to charges filed today, KYB conspired from the mid-1990s until 2012 to fix the prices of shock absorbers sold to Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (manufacturer of Subaru vehicles), Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Nissan Motor Company Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Company, including their subsidiaries in the United States.
