My Nissan Altima 2004 was a secondhand car that I purchased from a friend for around $2,000 dollars in late 2012. While it was an old car, it did not have many miles. It drove extremely smoothly, with a gliding feel, even as it passed through bumps. The seating was comfortable and had a solid recline angle for when you needed to rest on the road. Despite its age, it was capable of going long distances from state to state without any issue.

The car was reliable with limited repairs needed over the last ten years. It handles and drives well normally, and is comfortable inside. It is very comfortable for 'big' guys, as I'm 6'6'' and fit in it comfortably. It also got pretty solid gas mileage. A final plus, was also that there was a surprising amount of storage in the trunk, and the back seats fold down for additional space. That said, a downside if you live in areas with a lot of snow is that the body of the vehicle is very 'low'. This isn't a problem normally, but if navigating through more than a couple of inches of snow can be troublesome. The only other real negative, which was not a problem for me but could be for others, is that the 'design' of the body has not aged well, and this car could not be considered sleek or impressive compared to more modern models. It is serviceable, reliable, and comfortable, but it isn't going to impress your friends or significant others.
