1999 Nissan Altima SE review from North America

"Perfect sporty sedan at a great price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought this one at 97000 miles in 06. Its been driven hard and the previous owner was a road warrior. The chassis and the undercarriage shows that as well as the fact that it has seen 5 snowy winters up North. Apart from that this machine has a problem with the steering and I have to keep pulling it left every 2 seconds as the car keeps veering right even at parking speeds. I've shown this to a mechanic here in Florida and they worked on alignment. Seems the tires being of different wears is causing the problem. What beats me is why tire rotation did not reverse the pull-direction? Any comments on that? The previous owner had hit the passenger-font side tire on a curb, probably at high speed. Don't know if that is related to this...

The CV joints had to be replaced.. both of them since the boots developed a tear. I guess that was just regular wear and tear, not a fault with the car.

Gaskets and rotor and valves had to replaced at 97000 miles.

General comments?

Apart from that the car is fun to drive. I used to drive sedate Camry's before, and an SE Altima is making me want to speed! Its handling and turning is good with minimum body roll. I would have loved to get this one brand new! Will recommend to all for a used car...
