Getting a used car and decided to get 00-02 altima. I also found this site http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/used/reviews/full/index.cfm/id/2329, is it credible or not (Average replacement cost, NHTSA history, trouble spots)? It’s also going to be my first car, I’m 20 so let me know if I should change my decision and why. Another thing, can someone please help me out with some links to sites that give tips on what to look for when inspecting a used car.. Thanks!

sorry i meant 00-01, i know that 02 ha some issues, + wont fit my budget. How about the site though?

you should check out the car that you want, when u think you have the right car, take it to a mechanic to check it out (onethat you know and trust), or make an appt with a nissan dealer to bring the car for a full inspection.

yes, i was thinking of actually taking mechanic with me, to car lot. How much will dealer's inspection cost? If I buy from nissan dealer, does it mean that car will have inspection already?

if u buy from dealer then yes. its alrady inspected
Inspection costs round 90 dollars, but they do everything, wheels, belts, everything.
i did it to my car when i had to transfer the warranty from the previous owner. so ovbiusly they had to do everything in order to certify it for warranty

thanks for the info!
