1993 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4dr SUV 4WD
Bought my pf with 110,000 miles love everything about it from the well made leather heated seats to the 31 inch tires. I use my pf for hunting, fishing, and road trips. It has never let met down. It now has 322,000 miles on it with original engine and 5 speed transmission and still running strong with no oil usage. Getting 20 on long highway drives and 16 putting around the country … side. I have a 85 toyota 4runner and truthfully would rather drive my pf.
A Few Things to Watch Out For

1994 Nissan Pathfinder XE 4dr SUV 4WD
I was the owner of a 94 Pathfinder that
I recently sold. There are a few
things that potential buyers should be
aware of. The automatic transmissions
on these vehicles fail earlier than
expected on these vehicles. Nissan is
aware of this problem and has even
issued a service bulletin about it, but
no recall. The problem is that the
transmission cooler clogs up with …
debris and causes the transmission to
overheat and fail to the tune of a
$2800 rebuild. Second is the exhaust
manifolds overheat and crack and or
break away from the engine block.
Other than that the Pathfinder is fun
to drive and quite reliable.

This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. I have been driving it for almost 14 years and it never gave me any big problem. It is amazing. It now has 180,000 miles and still runs great and I get the same fuel consumption as when it new. I wish I could keep it forever.
