I guess Im in the right place, for Terrano I just read Pathfinder. I have been living in Iceland for years. I'm new to the Pathfinder.
I decided to buy one after some test driving of many. For the most part here it's a choice between either a 2.7 diesel or a 2.4 petrol. I wanted a diesel. The manual version was agricultural re noise and "accelerating", the auto is a different matter altogether, smooth and much quieter.
I chose a spotless 5d 60,000 m. '99 2.7 TDI auto with 31" plus a spare set of tyres and alloys for $13.500 (new Pathfinder LE is about $75,000).
I'm happy enough with it so far (a few days), no ambitions now other than enjoying performance.
I look forward to reading the messages and learning bit by bit.
