This is a great thread, and I love the pics Impact619!
I have 132,000 miles on my 2005 Xterra, and just spent about $2K replacing the cat converters and a "general" tune up.
Right after I bought it in December of 2009 the coolant mixed with the trans and I had to spend about $700 to replace the cooling system (better than the $5,700 Mossy Nissan quoted for the trans/cooling replacement), and then about 6 months after that I spent another $900 replacing the ECU unit and replacing the Mass Air Flow sensor!
I still love this Xterra, and look forward to the next 80,000 miles!
Thanks, Ghost!
Wow, yeah, it seems that's about when those things go, isn't it?!? Figures they sold me an extended warranty... to 120K! LOL!
$5700??? &$%*#@!! lol.... looks like I'll be getting my warranty service done there... and that's it!! : O
Good luck with it!
