  1. Thanks for all your 2 cents worth amigos. Talked with the owner and looking further into making a deal. Excited to test drive it asap!
  2. Hello everyone, In the hunt for a vehicle. Looking at a 1992 Pathfinder 4wd manual trans 6 cyl on craigslist, https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/colorado-springs-1992-nissan-pathfinder/6958700279.html Going to call the owner after 5pm today. From what I've read on here, three major issues to look for are, (1) rust in the rear frame areas, (2) timing belt replacement and (3) the exhaust manifold stud problem. In addition to those problems the craigslist post has also shared that the truck has these issues... "Some minor issues: AC does not blow cold air No power locks Fuel Gage and Tachometer currently do not work, but could be an easy fix Back hatch does not stay open, but I've always been able to prop it with no problems Will need new tires soon Minor oil leak as to be expected with vehicle's age" I'm not very concerned with the A/C not working. And would consider removing the a/c system entirely if I buy the truck. No power locks is a very vague statement to me and will hopefully be clarified when I call up the owner later today. Fuel gauge and tacho not working, a bit more concerning.... Back hatch, no concen at all... Will need new tires soon, concerns my wallet... "Minor oil leak as to be expected with vehicle's age", to me this says, I see oil drops on the ground under my truck but have not looked into the problem at all... we'll see what the owner says. I did have a '90 yota pickup with a "minor oil leak" at the rear main seal that didn't bother me to leave alone xD The vehicle is around 5hr and 30mins from where I live. So, if I go check it out, I want to be aware of major issues to look for, found this thread to be very helpful so far, The seller is asking $2500 obo, seems a bit steep to me for 170k miles with known fuel gauge and tacho issue. What would you all say is a fair price by the looks of the posting? If I am still seriously interested after talking with the owner, I was thinking of starting negotiations at around $1300 in the hopes of snagging it for under $2k if the vehicle and I vibe well together Are there any major issues with the 1992 pathfinder that I've overlooked? Any advice on checking out the truck if I am still considering this vehicle after talking with the owner? I am excited to potentially own another nissan. Back home I have a '85 nissan/datsun 720 2wd pickup with the 2.4L z24 naps-z engine and manual trans, in good running condition that I've been enjoying wrenching on in my down time for a couple of years. Anyway, after cruising through here for a little while this forum looks to be a great place for any pathfinder owner, and maybe there will be new posts about a new 1992 pathfinder owner soon.... Thanks for your time.
