Another Titan Drives off into the Sunset...

Dannybryce · 05-08-2006, 10:10 PM

I loved my Titan, According to my sister in law a little too much, but gas prices are just too much to put up with. I had to do it, but I wasn't the happiest at the dealership. I sold my beloved often modded titan. On the plus side I got an '06 Nissan Altima 3.5SE, so I'm not leaving the Nissan Family. I hope that you guys will allow me to stay on, I will always be a Titan fan, if not a Titan owner. Until gas prices go back down I will leave the Titans to those that actually put them to work.

Unfortunately, I am right behind you brother. I was at the Nissan/Volvo dealership where I bought my truck from today. I was looking at a new Volvo S40 Turbo. Very nice car, but a little small. (I guess EVERYTHING seems small compared to a Titan!) Anyway we haggled for a few hours and I ended up leaving because we were about $1,500 or $30 a month off of where I wanted to be. They were selling me the car at over $1,500 under invoice and giving me $22,500 for my Titan (which I thought was decent). Anyway, I said no thanks, shook their hands and walked out. By the time I got home (30 min later) they had already called me saying that they may be able to work something out. I will give them another shot but I am still going to stick to my guns $$$

I traded my 05 Altima SE, sport package, lowered, tinted windows, intake, SE_R tails, SE-r front facia, etc... in for an 06 Titan!

Screw the gas bill, when i need a truck, its worth it to have one for me.

BTW, the Altima SE is a sweet ride. I did lots of mods on mine, it was tight. PM me for pics or info.

Sounds like you're making a healthy choice for yourself.

I rode in an Altima and I liked it-heard they get good gas mileage.

If my commute was longer, I would be in the mood to consider one myself.

Keep in touch.

Sucks you had to trade in the Titan. At least you got a good replacement though.

Sorry to hear it but you'll enjoy the Altima.

Every month I take a business trip that includes a lot of driving. So my employer pays for a car rental rather than giving me milage for driving. I really get a chance to give the car a good test drive on these trips. The best car I've driven has been the Nissan Altima (also rented Ford Explorer, Chevy Malibu, Toyota Camry, PT Cruiser, and others). I had the 2.5 liter engine and that thing was awesome. I can't imagine how quick the 3.5 liter Altima is.

As another poster mentioned it just doesn't replace a truck though. If you just had the Titan to drive you won't miss it, but if you used it to haul/tow you'll miss it quite a bit.

BTW the worst car by far was the PT Cruiser. It had terrible blind spots, it handled poorly, has too small of engine, and had controls in goofy places.

Its quick, real quick. The VQ35 is Nissans masterpiece.

I will certainly miss my truck when it comes to camping time, but my towing and hauling time with the truck has dropped considerably. I will miss the rear wheel drive, but at least the VQ gets up and moves. A modding I will go come summer. I finalized everything today and waved a sad goodbye to my truck. Oh well, I wish everyone the best of luck with gas prices, hopefully they start to head back down soon, but who knows. If I hauled more I would have to hold on to the truck, but I use it mostly to commute to work.

Say it ain't so. Say it ain't so. At least you are staying in the family. I guess you could be considered a transvestite. Being you changed from a man to a woman.

Dannybryce · 05-10-2006, 03:58 PM

At least I could go with the V-6... I would have gone insane with a 4 banger!

Mad Hemi · 05-10-2006, 06:56 PM

UGH! I've got an Altima 4-cylinder for a rental right now for a business trip.
Going from a full-sized Hemi Ram pick-up to this under powered POS is just downright depressing.

It's definitely an ego killer!

You should have toughed it out for a few more months. The Altima is mostly new for 07.
