The allnew 2005 Nissan Frontier offers capabilities formerly reserved for fullsize pickup trucks, but provides them in a more maneuverable and easiertopark midsize package. Sharing only its nameplate with the former Frontier, a compact pickup, Nissan's new midsize truck shares its fullboxed frame rails architecture with Nissan's fullsize Titan pickup. The large V6 engine that is standard in all but the very base model of the new Frontier is more powerful than any of its competitors' five, six or even eightcylinder powerplants. With its strong chassis and powerful engine, the new Frontier provides up to 6500 pounds of towing capability and is capable of carrying payloads in excess of 1500 pounds. The 2005 Frontier is available with rear or fourwheel drive powertrains and in two body styles, either King Cab, with a 73.3inch standard bed as well as two forwardfacing rear seats, or Crew Cab, which offers a roomy passenger compartment with amenities much like those you'd expect in a sport utility vehicle, yet still provides a truck bed that's nearly fivefeet long, even while its tailgate in its upright and locked position. For the first time, Nissan offers the Frontier in a special Nismo offroad version. Nismo is short for Nissan Motorsports International, the automaker's racing and highperformance arm. Its upfit for the new Frontier includes special shock absorbers and tires, underbody componentprotecting skid plates and an active traction system with technologies such as hill descent control and hill start assist.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2005 Nissan Frontier, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2005 Nissan Frontier for less money than when it was new. If the 2005 Nissan Frontier was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2005 Nissan Frontier is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2005 Nissan Frontier will have a excellent resale value. This assumes that the 2005 Nissan Frontier is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
