 Bought used in March '04 when forced to 
become a courier due to being laid off. 
Was local rental with 41k miles. I only 
had $10k and had to find something 
reliable, low mileage, relatively safe 
and economical. The Camry and Accord 
were over my budget and the Altima 
seemed to fit the bill. After 38k miles 
in 5 months (that's right!) I have been 
mostly satisfied. I did have to 
replaced the alternator ($340 changed 
it out myself) but only maintenance 
items besides that. I drive an average 
of 10 hours a day so comfort is 
important, and I have been pleasantly 
surprised by the seat comfort. (I am a 
big guy!) Actually roomier up front 
than other cars.
