Used Nissan Altima for Sale in Sacramento, CA

Right from the get go, the vehicle was responsive from the gas acceleration to the braking and the turning. The sports suspension gave a bit of a rough ride, but it more than compensated by being able to take corners at a decent clip and not losing control when going over uncertain surfaces. The metal alloy wheels are always a joy to have, especially when I saw comparable vehicles sporting those cheap plastic covers that get so easily dented, torn and disfigured. The 2.5L v4 might seem like the car is underpowered, but the 170hp CVT provides for a smooth and rapid acceleration that gives one more than enough power to overtake trucks on long drives, to merge and to pass in freeways, and to give that satisfying sense of being pressed into your chair when you push the pedal to the metal. At the same time, the 8-directional high-quality cloth bucket seats keep you nice and snug as you take those corners and pass (legally) the slowpokes on the road. All in all, even after all these years, a car that has been relatively maintenance problem free and a joy to ride.

The vehicle I purchased was originally black but eventually painted it red. It was a four door car with decent space both in the front and back seats. The interior was nothing special so I covered it up custom seat covers. Most of the dashboard was plastic and also the side panels with automatic windows. The MPG was not the best but far from the worst and it included what they called "turbo". In reality it was not turbo but some gimmicky play to make the vehicle sound better. It performed well in sunny weather but the tires needed constant replacements. It seemed like in every pothole I hit, the tire blew out. The vehicle eventually blew a casket and needed a whole new engine. I paid someone to put a new engine but at the end of the day it failed. The car was sold as scrap.
