This car will last forever!

I've had this car for 14 years and it is still going strong. Yes, I had to replace things in it at times, but all normal stuff. Only had to get a new alternator at 85K miles and a new battery as well. Other than that, I've only had to do regular maintenance and minor stuff like alignment/ brakes/oil changes. This is a great car to own in terms of performance, reliability, and comfort. It looks like every other Nissan/Honda/Toyota, but who cares? I'm not trying to impress stupid teenagers with spoilers and flashy things that update my Facebook status.

Another great starter Vehical

This was my very first car given to me by my parents. Was the squad car. We went everywhere in that car. Lots of good memories.

Reliable

Meets my needs and that of my two small children. Needed to upgrade and this was perfect as a first time purchase.

Most Reliable Car I Have Ever Owned

I purchased this car new back in 2004. It has been by far the best auto I ever owned. Other than the normal maintenance repairs all cars require I have never had any major mechanical issues. I have kept the car clean inside and out. I have seen the other cars advertised in this price range and assure you my car is the better deal

very good car

This car is very reliable, and lasted me 221,000 miles. The only reason it went out is because of a crash.

Fab Car

Loved the car from the moment I got it in 2004. It was brand new. And I still love it though I think its time for a new car...

2004 nissan altima - previous owner

I purchased this car paid in full when i was around 8 weeks pregnant. I knew i always wanted the '04 model altima because i loved the way it looked. I bought it used so i knew there might come about some problems plus with the age of the car. Thats just what happens. I kept the car for about 2 years having replace the alternator twice i decided it would just be best to get rid of the car and go bigger. The two years i had it i absolutely loved it. went on road trips only a little squished in the backseat but its a car, what else do you expect? ;) i truly enjoyed the car during the years i had it.

Full size sedan

This is the last year before Nissan down sized the Altima. This car by todays standards is a large sedan. Lots of room. 30mpg Reliable car. They don't make them like this anymore.
