Car Buying Advice from a Dealership

Car Buying Advice from Valley Motors, a Car Dealership!


Yes, we are a dealership trying to help our customers find the right car for them. We HOPE that we will be the ones to help them on their search for the best vehicle (we certainly believe we have the best previously owned vehicles around). Although, we realize that isn't always the case and potential customers will go somewhere else. Here at Valley Motors though, we STILL WANT TO HELP! We made this short video describing the main things on what to look at when searching for a used vehicle.

Some Nissan Love

Notable Nissan's 

Nissan was a pioneer in the automotive industry, dating back to the early 1900's under the name of Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works. In 1934, Kwaishinsha was converted to the world wide known Nissan name. Nissan became a major player in America in the 1970's which then lead to manufacturing in the States during the 80's. Today, it is one of the most recommended foreign cars manufacturers. 


Nissan has done well over the years in every department. Affordable family sedans such as the Maxima and Altima come to everyone's mind. On the other hand, the power hungry 370Z proves that Nissan can do much more than just make great family vehicles. 


Nissan Altima: As the Altima closes in on nearly two decades on a car that is practical and also a blast to drive. Making the list of being one of the most family friendly sedans according to Kelly Blue Book's list of 10 Best Family Cars of 2013, the Altima continues gathering respect from consumers. The 2013 version has also been setting a benchmark for other top competitors for fulfilling expectations and doing the little things on top. The older versions, 2007-2012, excelled at being a budget friendly alternative to the bigger companies. Leading car review companies acknowledge that this version of the Altima (especially the V6) were superbly fun to drive while not sacrificing comfort at the same time.

Nissan Cube: Styling of the modern day with a touch of Picasso love. One of the latest blocky hatchbacks available, the Cube has grown to fit the niche of a an electric, modern, unique and bigger customers. With the boxy design, big and tall people will appreciate the amount of head room this vehicle holds and their legs wont be complaining either. Lots of room and above average mpg, can anyone say road trip?

Nissan Xterra: Active and Adventurous customers instantly love the Xterra. Taking you anywhere off the beaten path, limitations aren't even in the Xterra's vocabulary. Solid build and reliability translates into pure confidence when you're out in the boonies adventuring with friends. The 4.0L V6 engine is powerful and strives to be the best with 261 hp. Packed with a first aid kit, adjustable cargo rack and more just adds to the dirt hungry vehicle.

Nissan Quest: A constantly improving minivan that's gaining on their competitors. While beginning models where nothing to boast about, the latest couple have gained in leaps and bounds. The Quest took a step out from competitors with bold styling and interior. As far as minivans go, this one is takes an aggressive look. The current version holds a 3.5L V6 engine with 260 hp, not bad for a minivan. Simply smooth and powerful.

These cars have been ranked "Good", (compared to Good, Acceptable, Average, Poor) in nearly every area of crash test reports. 


Cross referencing reports from Consumer Reports, Forbe, Edmunds and more we have found these three vehicles to make the top of each list.

The Acura TL scored extremely well in nearly every measure. From leg/foot protection to the safety cage, this car was built with protection in mind. The TL also includes side airbags, daytime running lights and electronic stability control.
