Hi guys, I thought I will post an update.
I bought 2009 76k miles SE v6 3 months ago and I love it so far.
I changed radiator per SMJ advice and have Spectra premium one.
Installed OEM skid plates.
Changed couple of gaskets and fully changed all brakes and rotors.
Also, the previous owner installed single din pioneer radio with Bluetooth calling and music.
It drives great, and to be completely honest I don’t notice much of the difference from my leased 2017 Grand Cherokee I had before. Obviously Grand Cherokee WK2 is more luxurious, but the drive feel isn’t that different. All that for around 4-5 times less expensive.
The only function I miss is the three blinks with a touch of turn signal.
The funny part is that as I have been seeing a ton of pathfinder all around New York, I found the least rusty ones in Brooklyn. Upstate New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut all were a lot worse. Weird if you ask me. I always expected the proximity to ocean to have a big impact on rust.
Overall, I absolutely love it. Obviously it does drive like a truck, but I personally like it better.
Can’t wait to close some deals to reward myself with upgrades like bigger wheels, CAI, exhaust system, manifold spaces.
Thank you, everyone for being active on the forum, so I was able to make a great decision!
