Looking to buy used Pathfinder

Postby bdsams » Thu Dec 16, 2010 8:29 pm

Hi All,

I am looking to purchase a 2008 or 2009 pathfinder in the very near future, are there any common problems with these MYs for the Pathfinder, things i should look for when purchasing etc?


Thanks!

I've not seen any problems in particular. There's a ton of these out there as rental returns (mainly S models). I'm not a big fan of buying a rental. I bought mine about a year ago from a private party and was far happier than with anything I was finding on the lots. Basically was like new with only 15k miles and a better price to boot. Turned 40k this week and beyond some annoyances I've not had any problems.

I bought an 08 LE V8 with everything except nav and DVD and I love it. The heated seats are great and the thing is a beast in the snow. I towed a 3K lb trailer with another 1800 lbs of cargo from Indiana to NC and it handled it like a champ.

The only thing I would recommend if you tow is the Airlift 1000 kit. it really helped with the sag.

Other then that, just had it in for a few minor things after I bought it. Me just being picky.

Good luck!
