Guest scottq68 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hello Everyone, I just took delivery on Thursday evening (10/19/06) last week of an '05 Pathfinder SE 4X4 Storm Gray w/ 64k miles. I bought this from Truliant Credit Union used @ $17990. I have been a member of this credit union for about 9 or 10 years and although I have recv'd numerous loans from them, I had never used their auto-buying service. I live near Cherryville, NC and they delivered the Pathfinder to my door from Winston-Salem, NC (just over 100 miles) and took my trade back with them! Anyway, I had been looking for some type of 4wd that had a very good reputation, got decent mileage for its size and would tow up to 6000 lbs. I hadn't even considered the Pathfinder but I had looked at both the Titan and Frontier ( I got quotes from the Credit Union on both ). Last weekend I noticed this Pathfinder on the Truliant used inventory site and started researching everything I could find and was very pleased with everything I have read - both professional and consumer reviews. I have owned quite a few vehicles over the last twenty years and this Pathfinder is most impressive with the level of comfort, ride, utility and capability. We traveled over 300 miles yesterday: south down hwy 18 to Gaffney, SC ,west on hwy 11, north on 276 to Hendersonville (stopped at Caesers Head State Park - beautiful place) east on I-26, 74 west and then home (a good freeway/mountain road mix) and averaged 18.6 mpg. This thing is loaded - PW, PDL, cruise, Sunroof, 6 disc Bose stereo, Dual climate control, Rear air, lots of compartments and hooks, fold-flat rear seats, tow pkg. I am originally from WVa and we used to off-road quite a bit. The running boards on this Pathfinder would get in the way but I believe it would climb real well. Anyway, hello to everyone. First time poster to any forum of any kind ... just that impressed (so far) with this vehicle. I will try to post some pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navygz19 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 "New" and "Used" should never be used in conjunction w/ each other J/K congrats on the '05 and welcome to the boards! Post pics when you got 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagwoodzz Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 $17990 Ouch. Pathy's are well worth any cost, I just hate to think about 5 figures. Welcome, although I won't be much help as a lot has change since 1987. Not to worry there are many other more modern folks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
