Today's UCOTD is a bit different -- it's more of a daily driver than a project car or show queen or odd duck.

It's a 2012 Nissan Altima SR.

It has leather seats, heated seats, a Bose stereo with Bluetooth, a sunroof, and a rearview camera. The tires are new, as are the front brakes and rotors.

The seller says it's clean, has been garage-kept, and still smells new.

The ask is $17,800 and you can check out this Maryland-based car here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I would not touch any Nissan with a 20 foot pole, let alone a 10.

I recently bought a 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 S. I told myself I wouldn't buy a car older than 5 years old but this one was one owner, no accidents, and only 67K miles. A car this age has on average 144K miles. I love this mid size sedan. It drives very smooth but I wish it had the 3.5 V6. It does feel a little underpowered for a car this size even if it's a 2.5 L 4 cylinder engine. It cost me less than $11,000.

ToolGuy This thing here is interesting.For example, I can select "Historical" and "EV stock" and "Cars" and "USA" and see how many BEVs and PHEVs were on U.S. roads from 2010 to 2023."EV stock share" is also interesting. Or perhaps you prefer "EV sales share".If you are in the U.S., whatever you do, do not select "World" in the 'Region' dropdown. It might blow your small insular mind. 😉
ToolGuy This podcast was pretty interesting. I listened to it this morning, and now I am commenting. Listened to the podcast, now commenting on the podcast. See how this works? LOL.
VoGhost If you want this to succeed, enlarge the battery and make the vehicle in Spartanburg so you buyers get the $7,500 discount.
Jeff Look at the the 65 and 66 Pontiacs some of the most beautiful and well made Pontiacs. 66 Olds Toronado and 67 Cadillac Eldorado were beautiful as well. Mercury had some really nice looking cars during the 60s as well. The 69 thru 72 Grand Prix were nice along with the first generation of Monte Carlo 70 thru 72. Midsize GM cars were nice as well.The 69s were still good but the cheapening started in 68. Even the 70s GMs were good but fit and finish took a dive especially the interiors with more plastics and more shared interiors.
Proud2BUnion I typically recommend that no matter what make or model you purchase used, just assure that is HAS a prior salvage/rebuilt title. Best "Bang for your buck"!
