Market Highlights
- The Sub-$3k Market: In the 2026 Southern California market, finding a running, smogged vehicle for under $2,500 is increasingly rare. This Altima represents a high-utility 'bottom-of-the-market' option that provides significant value for budget-conscious commuters.
- San Diego Demand: The 'gas saver' 4-cylinder engine is highly desirable in San Diego due to long commute times and high fuel prices. Vehicles that are 'smog ready' command a premium as they eliminate immediate registration hurdles and hidden costs for the buyer.
- Mileage Advantage: With only 160,000 miles, this vehicle has traveled significantly less than the 240,000 miles expected for a 20-year-old car. This lower usage suggests more remaining life in the primary mechanical components compared to peer vehicles in this price bracket.
