I got a 2001 nissan xterra 173,000 miles from an auction. A few cosmetic problems but was really fun to drive. gas mileage was xxxxty 12-13 city 14-17 highway. But was a great car. drove it for 10,000 miles and then broke down. needed a fuel pump and new distributor and then decided to get a 2003 nissan xterra. needed a tune up and transmission after going for 205,000 miles, but once it was fixed, definetely worth driving.

I did have to get my super charged Xterra's exhaust manifold replaced and had a couple of hiccups with the distributor, but hey, it is 2020, and the truck is a 2003. Once I got those items taken care of, this thing will run! I love it. Mine is the SE version as well, so it has all the bells and whistles on it. Leather interior, etc. Now, being a super charged Xterra, it does kind of like it's gas. But, I get better MPG by using premium. Over all, I wouldn't think of trading it in right now. I used to own a Frontier, and that is pretty much what this is, but an SUV.

It was the most reliable vehicle I ever had. I have had it for 4 years. Especially being a used vehicle. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. I would love to own another one. I passed mine down to my daughter because I wanted her and my grandchildren in a vehicle I know she can take anywhere because it is safe and I can put all my trust because I know my family is in the best vehicle there is. That's why I gave it to my daughter. As long as she is in the Xterra I know I never have to worry about her, I know she will get where ever she needs to go. Safety and reliability. The only problem I have with the Xterra. Is I miss mine,and I want another one. I have driven it long enough, I have total faith and trust, it is the most reliable and best SUV ever. It was so much fun to drive. Get you one, because you will love it. And you will never want to drive anything else. I am looking for another one to buy, and I just don't see me settling for anything less.
