Used 1998 Nissan Altima SE for Sale near Pittsburgh, PA

This car was overall pretty reliable and kind of fun to drive(5 speed). No major problems with it until I paid it off and the bushing around the axle in the transmission housing blew out, that was only $1300 to repair. Overall the car was in the shop much more often than my Lexus. Lots of money spent on repairs.

nothing bad i can say about this car i love it. its been a great first car the only reason for wanting to get rid of it is its not my style. ive had for about 3 weeks and its a blast to drive! and not to mention the gas mileage! my mom hates it because with all the money i save on gas im always out driving with my friends

This car has been around for 12 years and was still going strong until I was rear ended by a huge truck. The car crumpled relatively easily and I'm lucky to be alive. Had someone been in the wrong seat at the speed we were hit they would have been crushed as the truck was pushed into the rear left passenger seat.

I love the 1998 Nissan Altima! When built, it had the most powerful engine in it's class, and you can definitely tell that when you drive it... except when you run the air conditioner. :-P Braking isn't that great--mine doesn't have power brakes or ABS so sometimes you do need to put some effort into stopping. As far as the interior, it feels EXTREMELY spacious for the size of the car, and there is plenty of leg and headroom for everyone. The seats are comfortable and everything is well-planned and functional. For the exterior, I have an SE so it has really nice wheels and I love the spoiler, although other trim levels of the car without the spoiler look really plain. Additionally, this car has needed nothing but regular maintenance and has had no serious problems yet (I'm so proud of it), and even with 116,000 miles, I still get 25 mpg. In the end, this is one of those cars that you will get and love, and I would like to add that since it was my first car, I will probably be extremely loyal to the Nissan brand in the future because this car is great.

ti runs well, dependeable, good fuel mileage, takes a beating, good acceleration for a four banger brakes and handles weel enough, most parts are factory, which often now need replaced, replacemant parts are very expensive, interior is not so good, good console styling, typical lines, not bad, will be replacing soon.
