Torpedo

is replacing the manifold bolts a major problem or can it be done for about a couple hundred bucks?

Hello all. This is my first post on the forum. I have owned SEVERAL 4runners and love them dearly. Unfortunately, the 1st gen 'runners are getting harder and harder to find and when you do folks want a lot more for them than they are worth. So through my searching i have found a 1995 Pathfinder that i like quite a bit. There are a few issues with it... 1-Previous owner states the odometer quit working last may at 125k miles. He says he doesnt drive much so he estimates the mileage to be close to 135k. 2-He claims the exhaust manifold is shot and thats a defect common to these trucks. 3-He claims to have replaced the tranny last year. The only thing that really scares me is the odo because it couldve quit years ago. It would pretty much be going all on trust. The asking price is a little under $3000. Does all that sound like a good deal so far? Are there any problems that i should look out for?? Anything in particular i should look at when i go for a test drive? Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
