Its an awesome car. Push the car hard and after a few month you will start burning rubber on your front tires. Thats the kind of power this tiny little car has.
I bought my 2001 which looks exactly like this one in 2007 with 80,000 on it and now has 249,000. I have only replaced the front struts, tires and brake pads. Cheapest damn car I've ever owned. Still has original spark plugs, plug wires, alternator, a/c compressor (Florida), etc...... You can't go wrong with these other than they are boring to drive and look at but for going back and forth to work and pulling a trailer half the time, they can't be beat for the money. Mine is an automatic trans. (which is also original)
+Mike Scott I have mine for 880 and sold my other altima which was all rusty for 800 (so felt like I bought it for 80 bucks!). The other one was still working great, so the guy didn't mind. But my 2001 altima not only looks better, it has over 303.000km and still running great! Changed the spark plugs today because it was getting slower and now goes better once again.
I didn't have a say when my parents purchased it back in 2003 as a second car for my mom. They bought it with a low low 12K miles (silver w/ GLE trim). We still have the car today with 80K miles with no problems. I (now 22 years old) drive the car a lot now and it still runs great! We have never had any problems with our Altima and still looks good. My only complaint is that it has bad lighting when it comes to the high beams. But its time for a new car, gotta keep up with the neighbors! Lol.
Have you tried upgrading the headlights? I switched to Osram's Cool Blue bulbs (installed on my 2000 B14 Nissan) and they are... well, cool! It's great to hear you are still enjoying the car after so many years. Cheers...
This car is bullet-proof, except that rarely the timing chain will break and kill it. It will run and run otherwise with no repair costs except for wear and tear items. It doesn't have modern rust-resistance, so check it for rust before buying.
Don't get me wrong, I like these older and smaller Altimas too but the 2002-06 was no doubt the best Altima, a much safer and even more comfy car. The 2005 SE-R was super fun to drive.
Good review good condition of the car even for today's standard steel a decent car to drive my friend used to have one of those it's a very durable vehicle!!!
I got this same exact car, color and all, less than a year ago with around about 82k miles on it I believe. It now has almost 130k, I hit a deer a few months after getting it, wasn’t major, just a dented hood so I never got it fixed. It still runs like a champ. Only now about to get the hood replaced simply because it’s time for an oil change and maybe some coolant, I’ve let it go a bit longer than I should if I’m being honest. However, still running like it was when I got it. Only thing I’d say it really needs is a paint job. Maybe some new speakers as well 😂
Yep me too! Only difference is the wheels everything else is identical. Mine had 134k on it and although it does have some slight mechanical issues, it is in almost showroom condition appearance wise and the most fun I've ever had driving. Even at 60 mph it feels like piloting a fighter jet doesn't it? And yeah definitely need speakers lol the subwoofers look like they came from a 90's portable sony boom box 😂 but it's one of my only complaints
I have the same car with 146k miles and the only downside I have is the noise it makes when you turn it on (its because of the ac compressor, I think needs to be replaced) but other than that it drives very smooth, especially during turns
I had this as my first car, 2000 Altima SE silver,bought for $600 wth 153,667 drove it till 433,289 then gave it to my sister an she drove it another 30k then crashed it STILL DROVE!!! If yu can find it in good condition JUMP on it
That car has little problem that’ll quickly turn into major big bucks. The timing chain has a chain guard believe it or not. What the hell does it need a chain guard for? It’ll eventually break and put a whole in the cover.
Back when Nissan still built a great Altima

Dam 7 years ago, do you still have the Altima?
@@GameChanger-xi4iyI just got one today
Tbh I remember my mom owning one of these new. This brings back so much nostalgia just seeing this.

Still have mine. No car payments for 16 years and counting.

My favorite generation of the altima
Anyone who knows the Nissan Altima 2000 2001 they will sell them selves. They are amazing cars. The 2002 and up are all junk.
Don't get me wrong, I like these older and smaller Altimas too but the 2002-06 was no doubt the best Altima, a much safer and even more comfy car. The 2005 SE-R was super fun to drive.
I grew up with one of these and I wish I had the chance to buy the one my family had
I have this car, bought it used with 93,522 miles on it and it's great! Easy to drive, good on gas, and looks great! Mine is black. :)
Do u know what the engine is call
@@bryanyee9400 It's the KA24DE-A.

update: the compressor was replaced for $450 and the noise is no longer there
This is the most reliable and cheapest car to fix and put gas in it rides smooth music sounds good in this car 2.
Great video with details!!
I had one got it for 2300 dollars with 120k on the dash drove like a champ lowkey quick too
But otherwise, this is a very reliable car. Great for any newbie drivers (i.e. high school youngins) lol.
Cute Altima like every generation of Altima
Good review & great Altima.
I have a green 2000 Nissan Altima with 190k miles on it and the only problem I have is the EGR Valve this car is amazing
I have a red 2001 altima, 120k miles, and I also love it!! Best car ever!
I had this as my first car, 2000 Altima SE silver,bought for $600 wth 153,667 drove it till 433,289 then gave it to my sister an she drove it another 30k then crashed it STILL DROVE!!! If yu can find it in good condition JUMP on it
I found one with 130k for 1900 I'm checking it out tmrw
i had a 2000 GXE that literally looked just like that.
My boyfriend's mom just gave me her old 2001 nissan altima. I'm hoping it can last me a few years before I can afford to buy a new car.
It did, didnt it? 😂
@@edmunda4128 sarcasm?
@@BM-ff6oq no it was serious. My best friends dad gave me his 2001 altima and to this day it starts up and runs.
@@edmunda4128 thanks this helped because I’m looking to buy this car soon!
@@BM-ff6oq if you can drive stick get the 5 speed manual. Better get up.
I have this same car it's very good car in my opinion
I work at carmax just bought a 2001 altima with 69k miles the owner was 100 years old. I might buy it for 3k
I just bought a 2000 Altima and the dude replaced lots of parts in the engine so I'm hoping it lasts a long time.
Does anyone know if these cars reliable? Good on the highway??
Thank you
Very reliable. I personally own a 2001 altima with 120k miles and it is great!
+CrAZy bg it's veryyyyyy reliable I have my 2000 Altima with 240K miles!
Erick Ruiz man those jokers are motherfucking tanks like the Camry
Hell yes they or really good an reliable I have the same exact car 2001 Nissan Altima 2.4 l limited edition good car in my opinion
I have one, 170k I got it with 120k I've beaten this car hard. It doesn't want to die lol 😆
Did u know 2001 was the last year that the altima was classified as a compact?
Love the mismatched wheel covers.
I have this car and I have the same key the front passenger is the only seat with the handle
It should not be that loud at idle. The problem is a cracked pulley
How is the gas mileage on a 2001 Nissan Altima?
20 city 35 hwy downhill
Great
Is the backseat small?
That car has little problem that’ll quickly turn into major big bucks. The timing chain has a chain guard believe it or not. What the hell does it need a chain guard for? It’ll eventually break and put a whole in the cover.
I have that car
Not in California they don't. Been trying to find that rear trunk trim on junked 2001 altimas with no success!
a bit too loud
that is too much for the year it is, smh the better be an old year
im so emotional i have this 2001 nissan altima in black, i have to mabey scrap it:(
This isn't a "review" it's a fucking car salesman walk-around
I freaking hate this vehicle every junk yard has atleast 10 of these on their lots.. good derby car though.
