Why buy here
A fair, upfront number and a process that doesn't fight you.
The Altima is one of our top sellers, right alongside the Rogue, Murano, Sentra, and Frontier.
Medina shoppers who search "Nissan Altima for sale in Medina" usually want the same two things: a fair, upfront number and a buying process that doesn't work against them. That's the store we built, and we've been building it since April 2014 — 12 years on the same corner of Detroit Road.
How we set the price
When we price an Altima, we don't pad it and wait for you to negotiate it back down.
What we did
Last month our team pulled the build sheet and window sticker on every new Altima in stock and benchmarked our prices against MSRP.
What it came to
Roughly 11% below listing, excluding taxes.
Why we publish it
So you can compare from your kitchen table in Medina before you ever start the car.
Every Altima buyer gets the same three commitments.
Best price up front
We don't make you dig for the number. Pricing runs about 11% below MSRP, excluding taxes, and it is published online so you can compare from home first.
A 0% add-on rate
We carry a 0% add-on rate, which is why CarEdge gives us a Grade A transparency score of 96.7 out of 100.
A no-pressure showroom
The thing customers mention most in our reviews is that they were never pressured and never felt rushed. We treat people the way we would want to be treated.

The new Altima
The new Nissan Altima, explained without the brochure spin.
The Altima is Nissan's midsize sedan, in one of the most competitive segments on the road — up against the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia K5.
What it does well is what a Northern Ohio commuter actually needs: it's roomy, it's quiet at highway speed, and its real-world fuel economy holds up on a daily Medina-to-Cleveland run.

The new Nissan Altima midsize sedan, available at I-90 Nissan near Medina.
Powertrains and what they mean for your commute
Recent Altimas have been offered with two engines.
The high-mileage choice
2.5-liter four-cylinder
Standard, and the right pick for most buyers. Front-wheel-drive 2.5-liter Altimas have rated in the mid-30s MPG combined in recent model years, per the EPA's published figures at fueleconomy.gov.
When you want the punch
VC-Turbo
The available variable-compression engine trades a little fuel economy for noticeably more push when you are merging onto I-90 in traffic.
Mid-30s combined is a strong number for a sedan this roomy. Confirm it against the exact model year and trim you are looking at, because the EPA re-tests by configuration.
Available all-wheel drive: the underrated salt-belt feature
The Altima is one of the few midsize sedans offering all-wheel drive, which makes it appealing to Ohio drivers. When lake-effect snow lands on the drive around Medina, AWD pulls weight a front-drive sedan on worn all-seasons can't.
We'll be straight with you about who actually needs it.
You probably don't need it
Garage-kept, cleared roads
If the car sleeps inside and you drive after the plows have run, front-wheel drive and good tyres will serve you fine.
It will earn its keep
Parked outside, early commute
If you park outdoors and leave before the plows run, AWD is genuinely useful rather than a line on the window sticker.
Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive — the feature Northern Ohio winters make worth a hard look.
Safety, in numbers you can verify
Don't take a salesperson's word on safety, including ours. Two independent bodies publish the numbers, and you can check both yourself.
IIHS
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the Altima a Top Safety Pick in recent model years, when equipped with specific headlights.
NHTSA
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publishes its own star ratings, plus any open recall campaigns by VIN.
What to do
Run the exact VIN on nhtsa.gov before you buy. Our team runs the same recall check on every used Altima we take in trade, before it goes back on the lot.
Warranty coverage
Every new Altima we sell carries Nissan's factory warranty:
- Bumper-to-bumper: 3 years / 36,000 miles
- Powertrain: 5 years / 60,000 miles
If you're cross-shopping a Nissan Leaf instead (and a few Medina buyers do, especially commuters with a home charger), the Leaf's lithium-ion battery carries an 8-year / 100,000-mile warranty. That coverage protects you after you drive off the lot, and we'll walk you through exactly what's included before you commit to anything.

Altima vs. the segment
Altima vs. the rest of the segment: our honest read.
We sell Nissans, so take this with the appropriate grain of salt, but we'd rather be honest than oversell. Here's how the Altima stacks up against the usual cross-shop.

The Altima's exterior design and profile, the view most shoppers weigh against the Camry and Accord.
Altima vs. Camry or Accord
The Camry and Accord are excellent sedans with deep resale value.
If resale is your single priority
Cross-shop honestly
The Camry and Accord hold value harder, and we would rather you know that from us than find it out later.
If you want the most for the money
The Altima makes a strong case
Where it usually wins is price-to-content and that available all-wheel drive — the most car and the most winter capability per dollar.
Altima vs. going electric
Short round-trip, charging at home
The Leaf can be cheaper to live with
If your daily run from Medina is short and you can plug in overnight, the electric car is genuinely the lower-cost answer.
Long highway trips, or no home charger
The gas Altima is simpler
We steer buyers to the Leaf only when the driving pattern fits. Pushing an EV onto the wrong commute is how people end up unhappy.
A loaded trim vs. the right car at the right price
A fully-loaded Altima can climb into the price territory of a base Rogue or a nicely equipped Sentra.
More than once a buyer has come in set on a top-trim Altima and left in a Sentra SR that fit their actual needs and budget better. We want to sell you the right car for you.

How buying works
How buying an Altima here works: no theater, no games.
No theater, no back-and-forth games. The path from search to keys:
1. Check inventory online
See what's on the lot and our upfront price at bignissani90.com before you leave Medina.
2. Come in for a test drive
Visit during sales hours, or call ahead to hold a specific trim or color. We block out enough time for a real drive on the highway loop.
3. Sign with the numbers in front of you
Best price up front, 0% add-on rate, all disclosed before you commit. Sales Managers David Harrell, Todd Schlenkerman, and Nick Postan stand behind every figure on the sheet.
From the base S to the sport-styled SR, every Altima trim on the ground is ready for a back-to-back test drive in Sheffield Village.
Trading in your current car
Bring your trade and we'll appraise it the same way we price our own inventory: straight.
What we check
Our team walks the car, runs the VIN history, checks recall status on nhtsa.gov, and inspects the underbody.
Why the underbody
In the salt belt that step matters. We have declined to sugarcoat frame rust on more than one trade-in, because the customer deserved to know what their car was actually worth.
Your homework
Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds both publish trade-in ranges you can pull before you arrive. We would rather you come in informed.
You can also value your trade with us directly.

From Medina it's a straightforward run up the highway to our store in Sheffield Village, right off the I-90 corridor on the west side of the Cleveland metro.

We're open Sundays for sales, so a weekend run up from Medina works when a weekday doesn't.

After the sale
Owning your Altima here after the sale.
A dealership relationship doesn't end when you sign. For most owners, it's just starting.
The Altima cabin and its technology — serviced later at our heated indoor service drive.
Service runs out of a 3,000 sq ft heated indoor service drive. Through a Cleveland-area winter that means you are not standing outside in the wind while a tech pulls your car around.
For quick work, express service is walk-in with no appointment required — typical turnaround 45–60 minutes.
What we do at a routine visit on an Ohio Altima isn't generic. Roads here get brined from November through March, so four checks matter more than they would elsewhere.
Underbody
Brake lines and underbody inspected for salt corrosion.
Filters
Cabin and engine air filters checked for packed road grime.
Tyres
Tread depth verified before winter, while there is still time to act on it.
Washer fluid
Topped off with a low-temperature blend, so it works on the mornings you need it.
Service Manager John Vuyancih runs that department, and advisors like Ben Sink keep you posted on timing so you're not guessing.
Alloy wheels and tires, checked for tread depth before every Northern Ohio winter.
Nissan sets specific maintenance intervals for the Altima: oil and filter service with a multi-point inspection on a regular mileage cadence, and larger items like cabin filters, brake fluid, and CVT fluid at longer ones.
We match your service to the exact interval in your owner's manual rather than upselling work you don't need yet. That's the same 0% add-on discipline we bring to the showroom.
Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions about the Altima near Medina.
Where can I find a Nissan Altima for sale near Medina?
At I-90 Nissan, 5013 Detroit Rd, Sheffield Village, OH 44054, a straight shot up the I-90 corridor from Medina and convenient to Avon, Elyria, Lorain, and the west side of Cleveland. Browse Altima inventory at bignissani90.com.
Is I-90 Nissan an authorized Nissan dealer?
Yes. I-90 Nissan is an established, authorized Nissan dealership, in business 12 years, rated 4.8★ from 2,173 Google reviews.
Are there hidden fees when I buy an Altima?
No. We run a 0% add-on rate, and CarEdge rates our transparency Grade A (96.7 out of 100). Every charge on the sheet is shown to you before you sign.
What warranty comes with a new Nissan Altima?
Nissan's factory coverage: 3 years / 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and 5 years / 60,000 miles powertrain. If you cross-shop the all-electric Leaf, its lithium-ion battery carries an 8-year / 100,000-mile warranty.
Does the Nissan Altima come with all-wheel drive, and do I need it in Ohio?
Yes, the Altima offers available all-wheel drive, uncommon in the midsize sedan class. Whether you need it depends on how you drive: if you park outside in Medina and commute before the plows run through lake-effect snow, we'd check that box. If you garage the car and stick to cleared roads, front-wheel drive with good winter tires may be plenty. Ask us and we'll give you a straight answer.
How does the Altima compare to a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord?
The Camry and Accord are strong sedans with excellent resale value. The Altima typically wins on price-to-content and its available AWD. If resale is your single priority, weigh them carefully; if you want the most capability and content for the money, the Altima makes a strong case. We'll park them side by side if it helps.
Can I test drive an Altima the same day I drive up from Medina?
Come in during sales hours and we'll get you behind the wheel. We leave enough time to drive the highway loop, not just the lot. To hold a specific trim or color before you make the trip, call ahead.
Can I service my Altima here after I buy it?
Yes. Our 3,000 sq ft heated indoor service drive handles routine and express work, walk-in with no appointment required and a typical 45–60 minute turnaround. We follow your Altima's factory maintenance intervals and pay particular attention to salt-belt items like brake-line and underbody corrosion checks.
