Those are two poor choices as neither one leads the league in reliability .

Of those two, the Nissan is the lesser of two evils.

I wouldn't buy either one of those cars. That's absurd. Earlier this year I bough a fully loaded car with 5k miles on it for 20k.

You finance $9,000 out the door and pay a sub $200 note on 4 years.

Do yourself a favor and don't buy either of those.

I don't know where you are located, but Cars.com has never failed me. You can find newer cars, with a lower price tag and lower miles than what you are looking at, all day. Check out this link for example. It's in the Louisiana area, so adjust it to where you are at, and set your radius to about 50 miles or as far as you are willing to travel, and you will find some great cars.

I suggest you put up another 3k that puts you in the 15K range and whole new world of better choices

With my girls I looked for something I new was safe and dependable- did not want them stranded

The boys- heck get a truck or jeep they were happy

Are you lazy or just dumb I don't think your either one!
Go to autotrader and shop I just found tons of altimas on there with low miles for way under 12grand yeah yeah. I know you. Want to drive it blah blah kick the tires but people ship cars often
Your daughter prob worked her arse off for that money and I applaud you for doing a great job with teaching her work ethic many kids don't have it all do yourself and her a favor take your time. LINKy to 300 mile search of Baton Rouge
Give me a few hours I can get you a list of nissan employee turned in leases and you can prob get you a hell of a deal.

My wife's 05 or 06 Altima 2.5 grenaded at 105,000 and had several issues before that. I'll never buy another Altima, and probably not any other Nissan.

Maybe you should look at a new Elantra, Cruze, Civic or Focus.

All could be had with leather, all get good mileage, and they should be very cheap to maintain. All but the Focus has a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty.

I believe there is a new Corolla out there year as well.

I think the domestics and Koreans have done a fantastic job lately, but I think the Accord or Corolla are probably the most reliable mainstream cars on sale now.

Get a 2 seater so she cant drive her friends around, thus lessening the chance of crashes due to distraction and DUIs. Also get one that looks like it'd be wickedly uncomfortable to haev sex in so she doesnt come home pregnant.
