Thinking of buying the 2001 Nissan Altima?
No 2001 Nissan Altima is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2001 Nissan Altima, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 159 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, suspension and electrical system. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 10.2 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 31 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $158.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the Altima makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 396 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Altima on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $158.10 at our price setting.
Over to you
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2001 Nissan Altima from us first.
