Hi all,
Im looking to put pen to paper on an 05 Pathfinder SE 2.5 Turbo diesel next week.
I love the look of the vehicle and the test drive was great!
The car has a full service history, 1 previous owner and has 37K miles on the clock....all verified.
Is there anything I should look out for mechanically?
Getting a 1 year warranty with it.
Cheers,
S

i have my 05 in the shop right now looking in to the U-joint as a possible issue for serious vibration at high speeds.
My advice, take it out on the highway/motorway and get up to cruising speed and increase it. If you start to get vibration that seams abnormal(rear view mirrors vibrating to the point you can't tell what car is behind you) the have them check the drive train.

Cheers Somber Goat, will check this out as you mention. Not to worried about stuff like universal joints as ive replaced them on my fathers Hi Lux, not that big a job on that anyway.
