2000 Xterra with almost 218,000 miles.

However, it was totalled this past weekend when my husband hit a deer. I am really bummed - it ran great - I had that car since May of 1999, when they first came out. It was my first brand-new vehicle. If I didn't have 2 growing kids, I would buy another one. However, I really need a 3rd row seat. (No minivan for me though!) Anyone ever driven a Pathfinder?

Thanks,
Sherri

about 160k on my '00.

2002 SC'd X with 122,xxx

Purchased in late 05 and only has 26,272 miles.

my 02 as of today is at 99,935

I have 170,341 on my 2002 and it is still driving like a dream. The key is that preventive maintenance!!

02' running great at 175K

2008 SE 95,000 miles

03 with about 100,000 miles

My xterra is a 2000 with 210000 miles on it.still runs like new.

I'm up to about 230K on my 2000. Other than normal maint, I've rebuilt the steering box and am currently replacing the transmission - 1st gear went out and they don't do rebuilds. Got a few paint chips off the hood and one tiny rust bubble on the tailgate. When I wash and wax it, you'd swear it was a couple years old.

11 pro-4x with 1.5 k

My 2006 off road is up to 39,000. Had the original rear differential go out at 10900. had the sending unit for the gas tank replaced at 38,000. I change the oil every 3000 and use mobile 1 synthetic oil. If it weren't for the high cost of gas I would be driving it a lot more.

114039 on my 02 replaced the timing belt and just normal maintenance.

My 2000x has 117k, just changed plugs & cables, runs even dreamier than before. Still looks like new, great paint, sits outside.

2001 SE has 168,000 miles all original except for transmission that was replaced at 107,000

2002 SE 130,000 or so normal maintenance still runs great. Wish I could get the airbag light to go off though.

Getting a 2005 s tomorrow with 91000 on it.. Cant wait!

07 with 11300 miles on my x. Just bought her.

'00 SE Manual 317,000 Miles Still running like a champ


3 timing belts
6 Tranny and Diff oil changes
1 clutch done at 267K replaced OEM (got a nice letter back from Nissan when I let them know)
4 windshields
more oil changes and shocks than I can count.

I just sold my '03 with just under 150,000 on it. I bought a new 2012 which makes my third Xterra. The '03 never gave me any real problems outside of the normal and well known problems such as A/C issues related to leaking high pressure hose. I did all of the maintenance on it since buying it, which I think is the key to trouble free ownership of any vehicle. As I like to say, the professional mechanic is a car's worst enemy.

It also helped that I changed oil every 2,500 miles, always used Mobil 1 motor oil, A/T fluid, and LSD oil. Also always ran premium gas in it.

Another thing which helps guarantee trouble-free ownership is to never let your engine overheat. I did my own timing belt at about 90,000 miles and changed the water pump as many advise. At 100,000 I replaced radiator and fan clutch. I also changed radiator hoses and thermostat frequently. Preventive maintenance is always going to be cheaper than engine work.

I figured that if I had kept it much longer, I would be faced with changing the O2 sensors, exhaust system, and perhaps other expensive components.

I wish the second gen engines had cast iron blocks as the first gen does, but they are aluminum. Let's see how long I can make this one last.

Lastly, whenever I buy a new vehicle, I follow my own self-imposed break-in schedule, to include changing oil frequently for the first couple thousand miles. Also use dino oil until around 2,500 miles, when I switch to Mobil 1.

03.....171,000.....still goin strong but going to need a timing belt and water pump soon! I FUCKING LOVE MY X!!!

My 2002 just passed 218,000 still running good.

2012 Pro 4X. 260 miles!

Posted this once before a while back. Hasn't been beaten yet!

'03 (now NINE YEARS OLD), 53,600+/- miles! That's only 6,000 miles a year. I live only 3 miles from work and for the last couple of years, if we (wife and I) go anywhere we take her car. Did I mention it's still in GREAT shape?
