Touche!
I am a Jap car fan, but I was working for a guy who sold Fords, and I came
to LOVE the Explorer. And I HATE SUVs!!!! It's just a nice, capable little
truck.

My band had a gig 80 miles from home, so I 'borrowed' one with a 5 speed
trans and 125,000 miles on it. We put my big bass amp in it, the guitar
player's amp, and the entire PA, and I got 27MPG average for the 160 mile
round trip.

I had my first experience with belts a year or two ago with a Subaru 1.8.
I had never done a belt before, so it says something as to how easy Soobs
are to work on!

Hi,

I'm going to look at a 2000 Pathinder SE. It has 185,000 Km. Asking price
$6,000 (Cdn).
Are there any inherent problems to look for?
For example, I currently have a 93 Pathfinder. They had a problem with the
frame rusting and of course the manifold bolt breaking, which were a problem
with Pathfinders & Maxima around that model year.

Thanks,
Keith

Check the rear suspension bushings & I think there were still some issues
with manifold bolts on the engine used in the 2000 model.

Sheesh! 7 years later and they still hadn't dealt with the manifold bolts?!
Thanks for the tip re the suspension. I'll have a look at it tomorrow. If
it's decent, at least it will tide me over till I come into some money.
