2001 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4x4, all the options except for leather Manual transmission

Thanks, yeah even though it's 7 years old it's brand new.  I've never owned a car newer than a '94, and that was an explorer I had for 2 months..... And my Amigo is second in line at '93 and it's not street legal yet. 

So yeah, it's a brand new car 75k miles.

[crawlerdan]

  Not to rain on your parade but is it the 4cyl.? Nissan 4cyls. are notorious for having valve train issues.

[crawlerdan]

most se packaged pathies are v6 equiped...but are also auto trannies....

Sweet, a friend of mine has the 4cyl. and the top end is a rattle box, did some research and have come to find that it is an inherent problem with them. On a side note you are becoming less and less FFC.

Nice grab.

I've always liked that body style Pathfinder, except for the unibody 

[79coyotefrg]

a NEW car


BUT












  do you have anything against a TOYOTA 

[*FFC* [OP]]

  do you have anything against a TOYOTA 

not a darn thing against Toyotas.  Wanna know something funny? We bought it from a TOYOTA dealership They just didn't have any Toyota's in our price range.

Guess that answers your question Glen, when I last went looking for a new car I was starting my search with Toyota in mind or a tow rig. I really wanted the Toyota but the price to get one is incredible, they hold their value. Even high mileage ones, my guess is you just can't kill one, which is really not a guess. Isn't that why we are all here? So back to my shopping, I couldn't find a Taco that I could afford at the time so I found the Durango. Sure it's not a Toyota but it does serve double duty, it is an awesome tow rig and it can wheel too. Maybe with the recall on the frame we'll see some depreciation of them since those that know may want to get rid of there's before they come to find that they have a frame issue.

thats why i bought my durango, less miles, more loaded, and about 5 k less then the same year runner

[79coyotefrg]

i do like the durango looks  and the small v8 

[MiniSimp]

I forgot to go out and see it last night!

[crawlerdan]

big v8! mine is an R/T with the 360.

justina-is that the 7 seater or 5 seater pathie??

[79coyotefrg]

360   wow, i thought they had a  like 4.6 liter  or something like that

[Blingn]

I forgot to go out and see it last night!

ahh man we even reminded you too ha ha

[crawlerdan]

360   wow, i thought they had a  like 4.6 liter  or something like that

the 97-01 offered a 318 or 360
in 01 they offered a 4.7. in 05 i believe the 4.7 became standard

they did offer a supercharged 360 in the shelby models, but only a few where made

Dangit... we were all in a hurry.

Dan: it's a 5 seater.. no second seat in the rear - which is fine for us!
