#5 of 14 Re: 2003 Altima - should I take the deal? [ray_h1] by hg2003 May 30, 2006 (2:31 pm)
Replying to: ray_h1 (May 28, 2006 8:30 am) Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately we could not wait until the end of the summer for all the deals that I knew were coming or be pushed any further financially. We didn't get the 2003, but we did negotiate a great deal on a 2005 that was previously a Hertz rental for $14,500. Although it has higher than average miles, it was also serviced a lot as a rental, has a leftover warranty , auto trans, all front and rear seat airbags and ABS. More of what we wanted anyway and we are very happy with it. Appreciate the advice! Replies to this message: ray_h1 (May 30, 2006 10:02 pm)

#7 of 14 Looking for an owner's manual by mvelezwhite Jun 03, 2006 (7:45 pm)
I bought a 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5S today. Having previously owned a 2001 version, I have become very attached to Altimas. Unfortunately, this one (in very good condition and only 44000 miles) did not come with an owner's manual. There are a lot of features and accessories in this that I don't know how to operate and I really need to see an owner's manual. Nissan's web site used to provide pdf files which had older manuals. However, they are only providing 2005 and 2006 model years' manuals now. Can anyone help me find someplace online that has the info that I'm looking for.

Replying to: mvelezwhite (Jun 03, 2006 7:45 pm) Hopefully some kind soul will offer assistance, but if all else fails, you can buy or order a replacement owner's manual through a Nissan dealership. Highway robbery pricing, but you really need access to the information about fluid capacities and grades in addition to explanations about how to use all the must-have, life-experience enhancing features that all but require a PhD to negotiate.

#10 of 14 Thinking about buying a 2005 altima by hannahja Jul 11, 2006 (10:49 am)
I just heard about the recall on the 2006 Altimas and I've been considering buying an Altima for a few months. If I were to buy a 2005 do you think I run the risk of having some of the same problems? I love the styling of the newer model Altimas. I have a 98 that we love-it hasn't given us any problems and has 165,000 miles on it. But I would consider changing my mind if I could find something just as sporty as the Altima without the worries. Anyone have any ideas? I've been doing lots of research and now I feel like I have to start over. Replies to this message: meca2 (Jul 29, 2006 2:56 pm) alan_s (Jul 30, 2006 5:58 pm)

Replying to: hannahja (Jul 11, 2006 10:49 am) What recall are you referring to? I have an 2006 Altima and is the best car yet. Replies to this message: alan_s (Jul 30, 2006 5:58 pm)

Replying to: meca2 (Jul 29, 2006 2:56 pm) Ditto. My 2006 3.5 SL has been excellent. There are no recalls on the V6.
#13 of 14 Considering a 2006 Altima by jmeasell Oct 05, 2006 (6:38 pm)
Found a 2006 2.5S with 10,000 miles, standard equip. -- AC, cruise, power windows, locks, etc. Ran a carfax and found it was manufactured in Dec.'05, before the problems with the engines, also one owner. Believe dealer will let it go for approx. $15.5K (not out the door). Will try to negotiate further, but appears to be a good deal. Any thoughts?
#14 of 14 Is it worth to buy 2003 Altima SL? by vik2 Jun 11, 2007 (4:56 pm)
I am planning to buy Nissan Altima SL 2003, milage 70000. But one mechanic has told me that it often has motor problems and it starts taking oil. Can it be true? Thank you for reply.
