I've been reading up on the forums here and trying to understand more about the 4x4 version of the pathfinder for a year or so. I am looking for an SUV for weekends and (yes.. honestly) a SHTF/bugout but I'm not the richest guy on the planet. After a lot of reviews and such I've settled on looking for a 2005 or a bit later pathfinder as the features Nissan has brought to us match my requirements. My car has me covered for day to day but an SUV would be better for more challenging conditions.
I found one vehicle that meets every checkbox I have and its local.. but the owner indicates it has only one issue... "transmission problems". From the experiences of all of you... is that kind of phrase more like a trip to my trusted mechanic or a trip to the bottomless depths of a checkbook?
Thank you for any/all of your insight. The facebook marketplace pictures make me think it might be worth a deep dive.
Be safe and have a wonderful weekend!
