Guest NPF99BUY Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Need your help in deciding a BUY. Nissan 99 XE. Vehicle has 130,000 miles. What problems can I expect with Pathfinder with these high miles. Any help is really appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRyder Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 i have a 96 XE with 130k miles on it and the only problem ive ever had is an exhuast leak on the manifold. other than that its been chuggin along quite nicely, especially since im a pizza delivery guy and shes seen some tough, tough times.

big_johnson Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 If the suspension hasn't been dealt with by the previous owner, that will be an issue. Plan to get new shocks, struts, and rear bushings. Other than that (and the manifold leak, which is a much smaller issue on the R50's than on older pathys), there is really nothing specific to look out for. Just check out normal things, how its running, emissions, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 130K isn't really too high miles for a Pathy. Maybe for the year, about 22K per year (if as a 99 it was sold in 98), but it should keep going for a LONG time to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Do make sure the timing belt was changed. It should have been at 105K, but if it wasn't, that can cause some HUUUGGGEEEEE problems for you in the very near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
