Nissan Xterra

I've got a '01 Xterra on my radar for $8500. Only one previous owner, garage-kept, 63,000 miles.

Been looking for something to haul more stuff around, any owners here have some positive / negative experiences with these?

Thanks in advance.

Shit power, shit MPGs and shit ride but otherwise good

What shit do you need to haul around? I can carry a 6 foot ladder and tons of tools in a 01 civic so you don't need some pigfat thirsty suv.

Will run forever but shit mileage and will rust if not taken care of near the wheel wells between both wheels.

Hope you like negative equity.

you better know how to spot bullshit.
if you ddnt know how a truck is supposed to sound and feel at 63k on the odometer then you are fucked. trust me. a healthy young engine feels very distinct

you should know how easy it is to roll back the odometer, it always works on suckers like you.
all you need is a piece of hardware like Jprog, it plus into any obd2 port and reprograms the odometer. extremely simple and easy to do.

an engine bay is extremely easy to clean. everything can be made to look spotless naturally, without any shily amorall shit those greasy mexicans spray onto the engine. the same can be done by pressure washing the underbody and suspension components. another thing to look out for is wear on the gas pedal and especially the break. it should not be warn at all at 63k
the steering wheel should not have any smoothness from its factory molded texture being flattened

dont be an idiot and fall for the low mileage meme from a private seller.
they all do.

How about no.

If you're going to spend that money, and want 4 doors, get a crew cab truck. It will be better in just about every way.

Assuming it's not a single owner car, can't you just go online and get a feel as to what the mileage should be?

The first get xterras have awful highway handling. I was working at a Nissan dealer when these came out and had to deliver one 50 miles away. I was seriously scared of the way it drove on the highway; the thing would simply not drive straight.

Generally the better something is off road, the worse it is on road.

I hear XTerras are pretty good off road.
