Well, as most of you i'm extremely disappointed with Nissans decision to make a soccer-mom mobile out of the Pathfinder, So i've been trying to decide what i should do, Keep my current truck until something better comes along from Nissan, OR go to the dark side (4runner) if they keep that a REAL SUV. Now i would insta upgrade to the 2012 Pathfinder, However financially i'm set to upgrade my truck in around 2017. I HATE owing money, so financing a 2012 now is borderline out of the question.
My question now is an 05 Pathy LE with around 120,000 KILOMETERS (around 70k miles) (yeah yeah i need to update my sig), if i average driving around 30,000 KM a year, with all proper maintenance done, be in relatively good condition at 270,000-300,000KM? I know it will RUN, but how will it be? Will it be a money pit, will it be hugely down on power (ie need a rebuild) etc ( i expect minor and semi-minor repairs)? OR, will I be better off with biting the bullet and getting some debt and a new truck? Basically, what's the long term reliability on the R51's going to be?
Thanks all
