Hey guys, I need a car (hopefully within a week or so)
I have $13,500 cash and don't want to finance on top of that
My truck has to be 4x4, 5 speed. I'm considering Pathfinders, Xterra, 4runner, Cherokee.
My first question is how does the Xterra rate against the Pathfinder? Which is faster? Which has a better interior? What makes the Pathfinder more expensive than Xterra?
Heres one pathy im looking at: Click Here
I ran a carfax on it. It has had 2 owners, and was a leased vehicle. It was leased twice and auctioned off twice. It has no maintenence history and its at some random dealership. I have yet to look at it but already got the price down to $14,000 out the door with tax and registration included, just over the phone! Can I trust this car?
I know pathfinders have had recalls on the exhaust manifold studs, listen to the motor when its cold.... anything else?
Help me out - I want an SUV which will be comfortable and reliable, and still be fun on the trails in Baja, etc. I go snowboarding, MTN biking, camping, etc.
I really like interior comfort, if that makes a difference. Help me out!
