There has been a wide recall for many of the altima's because they have just been a pain in the ass, however you really need to talk to the specific dealer about that. I know all Altima's that we take in on trade we do a full analysis and workjob before we put them on the market. Honestly, I would never tell a customer this but right now a pre-owned altima is not the way to go. Since you're not my customer and I'm trying to help you out, I think there's a bunch of cars on the market that are similair, more or just affordable and most more practical. Do your research and if you need any further advice you can contact me. good luck buddy. And congrats on the good news! Having daughters is wonderful.
