Gross EVAP leak and gas smell 2001 SE Pathy

Hi All, I have a 2001 manual SE Pathy 4WD that frequently smells like gas and has the Gross EVAP leak code (can't remember number). Took it to a local shop and they say $90 to smoke it and won't nail down a cost to fix it. Not even a ballpark. Could this be $50? $1000? I was told it doesn't affect p...

Rust - what should I take care of and what can i let go

I just purchased an 01 SE. It has some rust spots: rust hole in front, driver's side fender; rear window moulding trim is rusted pretty bad; a small amount on rear fenders around wheel well moulding. I will be either replacing the front fender or cutting out the hole, welding in a piece of steel and...

Advise on purchasing older Pathfinder

I need a daily driver and want AWD or 4 WD as I live in Wisconsin. I also have 3 kids who need to fit in the back seat. I have found 3 pathfinders that I am interested in. Why would one be better than the other? Share your opinions and experiences. All is appreciated. Here are the PFs: 1998 SE, manu...

I'll throw another one at you. 04 Pathfinder LE Premium - does it have the same issues as the 01? Of all of the PFs you've owned what was your favorite? As a person who is not a mechanic, what are some key things to look over when checking out on these Nissans? I understand basic mechanic jargon, bu...

Wow, you are a wealth of information. Have you owned these other Nissan's or worked on them? So If I look at the R51 (07 most likely) by checking to see if the transmission fluid is clean and if it is assume there has not been a compromise in the radiator yet? Then if purchasing, either do the bypas...

I appreciate the reply again. I see you have an 06. I assume you bypassed the transmission/radiator problem? I was considering an 07 and an 05 until I was made aware of this problem. Is this mixing of radiator fluid with transmission a gradual occurance or a one time event that then kills your trans...

A thanks for the reply. I actually found an 01 with the 3.5L engine which appears to have been better than the 3.3. I'm sure all other things apply to this one. I will post if I purchase one. Thanks!

1998 SE for $3800? What should I look for when buying?

Thanks for helping me out! I found a 1998 SE with 101,200 miles and a one owner for $3800. It is at a reputable dealership in WI. Wisconsin laws state that all recommended maintence must be performed and all mechanical issues must be fixed before being put on the lot for sale. It still has a lot of ...
