This is one of if not the greatest SUV ever sold.

I’ve owned a couple of these model pathfinders an 01 and an 02. Both are over 300,000 miles. The 01 finally lost the transmission at 320,000+ and it isn’t totally dead it just isn’t road worthy due to no reverse and what seems to be 2nd and 4th forward gears. It starts and drives and is being used as a ranch truck. My 2002 is just a tick over 300,000 and it has been a great vehicle too. Paid $900 for it a year ago and have put 45,000 miles on it since. I’ve only had to replace a coil pack and brakes.
