Sorry to mislead - the car is a silver trim level

Car is a silver trim level, it has most of the LE features like leather, backup camera, etc but has the lower transmission. Silver trim sits between SV and LE. think it was Intoduced in 2011 and maybe only lasted until 2012

So how much better is the LE tranny? Looking to buy

I am in the process of buying a pathfinder. Decided to go with 2011 or 2012 year so I never have to worry about the trans/coolant issue. After much research, I decided that the LE trim was favorable mostly due to the auto mode. My wife/kids will also drive the car and not sure they would totally und...

How much better is the LE trans?

This silver pathfinder is in good shape. Has all the features I am looking for, other than the auto trans mode. So how much better is the LE transmission?

Thanks!

Unfortunately the LE is really a Silver

I found out that the car is really a Silver version and not the LE version. I really wanted the Auto 4wd system as I think it better for the rest of my family. Ah well...

correction

2008 V8 LE with about 75K miles - asking price 12K (dealer) 2011 V6 LE with about 85K miles - asking price 9K (private sale) I guess i am so scared about buying a car that could have the transmission issue that i just want to be safe and buy a 2011 or 2012. I assume that some unscrupulous seller, pr...

Thanks for your quick reply

My thoughts as well, high mileage over few years not being as much wear as the older vehicle. I too like the older rugged R51 style. They are both 4wd, are the 4wd systems similar? We have a rav4 which is true AWD. The R51 pathfinder is more of a 4wd where it has to be switched on when needed. Does ...

Would you buy a 2016 pathfinder with 160k miles?

Sorry for double posting, I posted similar post in the general section. I was looking at a 2011 pathfinder with 85k and then found a 2016 with 160k. So 160 over 3 years tells me the miles are mostly highway. Would you consider buying a car with such high miles? Both the 2011 and 2016 are about the s...

Help me buy a used pathfinder!

I was going to look at a 2011 pathfinder with 85k miles. Couple of dings but overall looks like a good car (privately owned) then I saw a 2016 pathfinder with 160k miles. I would normally stay away from a high mileage vehicle like that but 160 over 3 years tells me the car is mostly highway. Both ca...
