Used Nissan Altima for Sale in Bakersfield, CA

I bought my Nissan Altima around two years ago. I bought it because I was I was in need of a vehicle and I liked the visual aspects of the car. It had a nice black paintjob and was told it had minimal issues. I wish that second part was true. There were multiple electrical issues I experienced with my vehicle. I could not lower my windows, and I could not adjust my seat at all. However, I do enjoy how the car feels when I drive. The Air Conditioner unit in my vehicle works extremely well and gives off cool air.

Story

I once parked in a parking lot where 7 out of the 8 vehicles in the parking lot was a Nissan Altima.

Pros

The positive things about my vehicle basically the cosmetics of the vehicle. I like the black paint the vehicle has on it. I like how comfortable the seats are. Now that the seat can be adjusted, I really enjoy having the ability to move it around to my liking. It has a spacious trunk where I can place my belongings. The gas mileage on the vehicle is not too bad as well.

Cons

The Electrical Issues I had with the car. I could not use the buttons on the side to close and raise my windows. If I closed the door a certain way, the windows would go down even when the car was off. Had to pay a lot to get this issue fixed. Also, the car when I bought it did not have any seatbelts in the back. This made it really difficult when I had to take passengers in my car. Another thing is that the cup holder in the vehicle is atrocious. The way it is designed is terrible. Furthermore, my vehicle's horn did not work when I purchased it and I also had to get that fixed.

2005 Nissan Altima - Reliable and Easy

The Altima 2005 is incredibly reliable. In my ten years of owning one, I have had to take it to the shop for urgent repairs exactly twice. It needs just basic maintenance aside from that, which is usually fairly inexpensive. The car easily fits people and also gets pretty good mileage, which makes it ideal for long car trips. You can fit three people, their snow gear, and snowboards in it if you flatten one of the back seats. I know because I did that this past weekend!

Story

When moving to my new apartment in the South Bay of Los Angeles, I packed the car so full that there were things hanging above my head! I managed to get all my things in one trip, though.

Pros

Almost everything! The ride is smooth, the mileage is pretty good compared to cars of similar build and size, and the interior and trunk are fairly large, so you can accommodate a lot of people and things - even some furniture if you are moving! I also enjoy that it's not a flashy car, so replacement parts are incredibly affordable.

Cons

The turn radius is much larger than most other vehicles. It's also a very long sedan, so with the limited turning, parallel parking can become a hassle. The interior could use rear air and cup holders, and the original did not come with an auxiliary input, meaning I had to get my own installed, which was not too expensive.
