Perfect exterior color,
perfect options,
Newish Michelins..
Was clearly loved by an enthusiast owner.
But the miles!!!

Even for an R51 thats so many miles...
the engine I am not too worried about...
But the tranny and the cats...
bushings etc

Also even though our transmissions are pretty good at these miles it cant possibly have too much life remaining, especially when channeling V8 power?

My 2008 has over 250,000 on it, but it's a V6. Still, I try not to purchase any vehicle with over 100,000 miles on. I broke that rule when I purchased my 03 Frontier (it had 185,000 on it), but I purchased it with the intent of it just being used to do occasional errands to the dump or the lumber store and as a back-up vehicle when the Pathfinder is down. I ended up dumping about two thousand dollars into it and a bunch of labor because I was losing my friend's lift to work on and also because I can't let the little things go.
