Highlander. You might end up using it to pick items such as cement, tools and some other stuffs sedans can't carry. Its a decent vehicle.

black smoke cmg from the exhaust,the steering was shaking vigorously at 80km/h and yet its millage is 62k.
bought the altima too, and i am regreting cos of the ground clearance. looking for a way to discard n ASAP n get a RAV4

I will advice you cool down first cause two wrongs can never make a right. You already made a bad choice now the issue is selling a Nigerian used 2008 altima at a convenient price for you may be an issue, I won't even go near a Nigerian used altima myself.

Your best bet is you will need to do some professional adjustment to help raise the altima ground clearance and help improve its shocks and springs, I just wonder why u picked a potential sports car in the first place you can contact nisspart for the outline and cost.

If by chance you sold the altima please do your research well before jumping into another wahala there are tons of cars from different manufacturers that can give you value for your money.

Thanks nurey

Nissan Altima especially the Sports trim DON'T fair well with raising of ride height.

I no ask am to turn the ride to a CUV or SUV but there is this back shocks and spring modification done on the altima/maxima to extend its ground clearance and allow the shocks to stiffen to further deter uneven road feel.
