Title: Clean

Looking for a car that builds character, teaches basic physics, and ensures your teenager will never be tempted to speed? Look no further. We have owned this legendary 2005 Nissan Altima since 2007. It was our faithful commuter for years, and despite its quirks, it refuses to die. It still runs and drives.

The Good:

• The Tires: Honestly, the best part of the car. Great tread.

• Engine Longevity: We religiously changed the oil for nearly two decades.

• Emissions: Passed recently in February 2026.

• Anti-Theft: No one is stealing this.

The Mechanical "Quirks":

• The Flywheel Exercise Routine: The flywheel is missing a few teeth. It starts most of the time, but occasionally your kids will need to get out, give the car a little push to reposition it, and then it fires right up. Consider it free leg-day training.

• The Gas Gauge / Check Engine Light: The gas gauge is broken, which triggers the check engine light. To pass emissions, you just clear the code, fill the tank completely, drive 25 miles, and test it. Once the tank drops below full, the light pops back on to keep you company.

• Climate Control: No A/C. The heater is mediocre at best. Dress in layers.

The Cosmetic "Upgrades":

• Streamlined weight reduction: Missing the front grill and hubcaps.

• Custom entry: Driver's side door handles are broken.

• Battle scars: Cracked windshield around the edges (doesn't block view). Some passenger-side body damage from a classic fight with a stop sign (the stop sign won).

This car is ideal for a high schooler who needs to get from Point A to Point B, or anyone who wants a cheap project/commuter that already knows its way around town.

Sold exactly AS-IS. Bring cash and a sense of adventure.
