Advice: 2003 Pathfinder

[max_boost]

My neighbor is selling his 2003 Pathfinder Chilkoot edition. Looks to be in very good condition as he takes good care of his vehicles.

He has all maintenance papers, new clutch and tires. Vehicle shows well. Based on mileage 134,XXX kms and price $9150 obo, seems to be very reasonable.

I want to take it somewhere for an inspection, anything specific I should be looking for that should have been replaced. Other than the usual fluid changes, condition of brakes, regular wear and tear stuff.

TIA.

For the Pathfinder, since I own one and work at Nissan. These are the things that tend to go.


Rear oxygen sensors.
Blower motor heater resistor/power module.
Front/rear struts.



Also, I posted up a recall in the Nissan owners section in regards to the 98-2004 Pathfinder/QX4 because of strut tower housing rust that affects the steering shaft. So take a look at that.


My 02 Pathfinder LE has 121,000 on it so far from 4 years of owning it and its been a great vehicle to me. The only downside is the fuel consumption, full tank gets me 350-380kms on a tank which is horrible.

Damn that fuel mileage alone makes me think twice! haha But it is a very nice looking vehicle.

Why not get a G-wagon???

Checked it out and it's very clean. Drives nice with lots of low end power. Smooth on the roads. Rock solid. Debating now.
