I am looking at a 2000 Xterra 4x4 with 170,000 miles for 4500. I will be using it for a daily driver mostly with using it to tow dirtbikes or quads and do some off-roading. I am looking for something reliable that I can keep for the next 3-4 years or so, and not have to put a lot into it besides mods . What do you guys think, or should I look for something with less miles?
imo, with that kinda mileage it really matters how the last owner or owners took care of it. that's too much of a gamble without records of all maintenance.
Hello, Problem with high mileage Xterras? ...timing belts when the last change? and it due for another one when at 200,000 miles or early perfer..
Lots of wear a tear on the all parts..? Please check the brakes? ...belts,hoses, battery, radiators, last spark plug change..cause the NO 6 plug is so difficult to reach...!
Make sure owner did regular oil changes every 3,000 miles for the life of the Xterra?
Thanks for the input guys, I will definetly ask these questions to the owner.
I also just found another Xterra with less miles 150K for 3500 which seems like a good deal, but it is not 4x4. How well do these Xterra offroad with out 4x4?
Timing belt will have to be changed soon. Can cost all the way from 300 to 800 (Nissan dealership quoted me 800+). I have a mechanic that works cheap. Or you can do it yourself with a little bit of effort, a nice weekend and a 12 pack.
On the timing belt....I dont know where you live but where I am the dealer will charge you $1100 for the timing belt/tensioner/cam seals/waterpump, that was the cheapest dealer quote I got and they were all the same.
I would have done it myself if I were home in Cali but im in Boston with no garage, snow, and no tools :censor:
