I bought my second 2001 Altima, the first one had a manual transmission, it had decent power, good fuel economy, it was the basic trim. I drove it about 3 years with basically no issues and trade it in for a newer vehicle that really I did not need. The second one is a well mantained 98k miles GLE, leather and aluminum wheels, strong engine and transmission and at very good price.

repair issues: radiator, alternator, suspension

Nissan did not do us any favors with this car. Alternator, A/C, radiator, front end, hoses, cooling system. Many costly repairs. I would avoid Nissans.
