Used Nissan Altima for Sale in Alexandria, VA

The Nissan Altima GXE is a pretty reliable vehicle considering it had over 200,000 miles on it when I purchased it, and it still continues to get me from point A to point B. The vehicle is relatively good on gas, approximately 25 miles to the gallon. It doesn't cost a fortune to fill it up since the gas tank only holds 15 gallons. I dislike that the dealer has discontinued a lot of dealer only parts, such as certain hoses which are a necessary item and can only be obtained from a junk yard or you have to improvise. I like that the trunk has an arm rest in the back seat that opens up to the trunk, so if you have to haul something oversized like lumber or shades, it will fit and you can still close the trunk! Overall, the year of this car is the preferred model, as newer models of the Altima have a tendency to have an issue with the intake manifold gaskets leaking and causing a misfire, which is an expensive job if you are not able to work on the vehicle yourself.

It is a good dependable car with great gas mileage. I bought it cash and it has lasted an additional 50,000 miles that I have put on it. When I bought it, it was used with about 100,000 miles on it, which is a good bit. Luckily, it still runs very well. It does go through oil a bit fast, but if you keep that checked, it can last for a long time. I have never had any issues with the radio or electronics. I do appreciate the distance until empty feature since it gives me a better idea of how much gas that I have left. I haven't had any major repairs since I got the car. I do keep maintenance up though and a great thing about a Nissan Altima is you can take it anywhere to get fixed- not just a dealership which could rip you off. I do not necessarily like the interior. It has not held up as well as it could. I have the cloth that is dark grey and it does show stains and wear (like where I get in and out of the drivers seat). It has been a great car for my college to first job car. I live in a city and take public transportation a lot and I have no problem with battery life, even though I only run it like once a week.
