Owner's Pitch
"Reliable 2006 Altima S with low mileage for its age. Features the durable 5-speed manual transmission and a smooth-running 2.5L engine. Recently passed smog and registered through June 2026. While the paint shows California sun wear, the mechanical health and documented history make it a perfect, budget-friendly daily driver or commuter."

Description
Overview: This 2006 Altima runs and drives great but has significant cosmetic wear. It was owned by the previous owner from 2007 to 2025 and kept outdoors, which led to sun damage on the paint.
Mechanical Condition: The engine runs smoothly and the clutch is in good condition. The only known mechanical issue is the right side mirror, which must be adjusted manually. It recently passed smog and is registered through June 2026.
Features and History: This is a 5-speed manual transmission model, so the driver must be proficient with a stick shift. It includes a tow hitch with light wiring and comes with a clean title in the seller's name.
Market Highlights
- The Budget Market Floor: In 2026, any vehicle that is running, driving, and smog-legal has a floor value of approximately $2,000. This Altima sits just above that floor due to its lower-than-average mileage and recent maintenance, representing a solid value proposition for a cash buyer.
- Southern California Conditions: While the San Diego and SoCal sun is notoriously hard on Nissan clear coats, the region's lack of road salt means the chassis remains rust-free. This structural integrity is a major selling point for 20-year-old vehicles compared to examples from the Rust Belt.
- Mechanical Simplicity: The 2006 model year is highly regarded because it precedes the widespread adoption of Nissan's CVT transmissions. The 5-speed manual is a 'bulletproof' alternative that appeals to enthusiasts and budget-conscious buyers looking to avoid expensive transmission repairs.
