Frontier shouldnt even be on that list, the data they provide shows that too..

Nissan Frontier
Percent sold after one year: 6.9 percent
New car price: $26,272
Used car price after one year: $25,060
Potential savings buying used: 4.6 percent

Comparative to the other vehicles on that list, the percentage sold after one year is lower, the resale value is the absolute best (it barely changed in this dataset), and the potential savings is under 5% - Most other vehicles ares in the 17-35% category for savings.

People that regret Frontier purchases were probably looking for midsize truck, with great fuel economy, and then happened upon the reality that they are gas guzzlers.

The only regret I have about mine is the small bed on my CC. I just hate it.

 

[HueyDude]

The only regret I have is not holding out for a manual. Otherwise, I regret every GM vehicle I've ever owned, and I really regret the day I stepped into a Kia dealership to look at Sorrentos...never again.

 

[Zedbra]

They are right about the gas guzzler part. No regrets here, as I don't believe in regrets anyways.

 

[Zillon]

No regrets here. Does what I want it to do, fuel economy isn't horrible for what it is, either.

It's all about being realistic.

 

[Izerous]

If fuel milage was that critical i'd buy a tiny hybrid. Looking at travel trailers there are days I wish however that I had gone with a full size.

 

[GTwannabe]

Meh... mine will do 22mpg or so on the highway. Normal commute is 17-19 with plenty of stops and hills. A 4-banger econobox will only manage about 25 on the same route.

I got rid of a Dodge Ramcharger that was getting 12 mpg. So I traded up and am really pleased. Also, I wanted a smaller truck. People (if it is even true) who don't like a vehicle that they purchased, should have done a little better research and not fallen into the new car trance that the salesmen are so good at.
I'll tell you what I really hate though...the 5 hours you spend at the dealer doing the actual purchase not to mention the 8 or so other dealers you visited trying to get a good deal.

I would agree with that but....

I needed a truck NOW. There were no manuals ANYWHERE and I couldn't wait 2 months to get one in. I needed a four door, but no KC were available. In fact there were NO long beds of ANY kind within a 1000 miles of me.

As for the "5 hours you spend at the dealer" thing, I was in and out in less than an hour and a half.

It was 45 minutes for my new Infiniti Q50S

 

[Zero Six LE]

Not a single regret for me.

 

[10935]

Ehh I kinda regret it... Should have gone for an Xterra or maybe a new 4Runner. But now that it's paid off I don't want to get into new payments so I'll stick with the Frontier for a while longer.

 

[CaptRussia253]

Only regret was not waiting for a 6 speed. Other then that it's been a great truck.

Yep. I ditched a Ford Focus because it only got 26 with 28 average. My truck does the same as yours, which is a lot better than the Titan that went away with the Focus. I'm happy.

I ditched my 14 Focus St at one year old. Biggest POS I have ever owned. After owning 20 vehicles after 30 years, it is the only vehicle that has left me stranded and have ever had towed. (Around 2k miles) In the first 5k miles it had been to the dealer for warranty work 5 times. The first trip was 2 days after buying it.

 

[Montagge]

My 2008 no regrets
My 2006 plenty of regrets that are all my fault

 

[MetalAlien]

love mine so much nothing but being totaled would make me get rid of it.

Well... I may have exaggerated on the 5 hours a little.

 

[bonediggitty]

My only regret is that I didn't buy the Pro-4x the first time around... I've loved both trucks for what they're capable of for the price.

I bought a 1974 260Z back in the '90s that I should have never bought. Transmission got jammed in 1st gear about 6 blocks away from the place I bought it from (private sale). After getting towed back to where I worked, I discovered the chassis was rusted through. I never did put it on the road.
