Used Nissan Pathfinder for Sale near Jonquière, QC

Performance: the 3.3L V6 is a little underpowered but it gets out of its own way. It brakes really quick so be careful, and the 4wd can handle the trails out here, they get pretty bad too, mud up to the top of your rims sometimes gets you stuck. Build quality: Its held together well, If you use 4wd a lot you will need to replace the axles at about 200,000 miles but only the front 2. Its quick breaking means it eats pads. Appearance: It looks okay nothing special, the inside is also pretty average, it had a center console with the shifter, which I like better than column shifters. Cost of ownership: Its gets 19mpg on low grade and 22-24mpg on mid grade. Parts are relatively abundant and low cost. Fun Factor: This car is very fun to do a little trail running with. Its not meant for mudding but it can hold its own going on that camping trip.

As you can see from the pics, I flipped it three times. I call it a soldier because after flipping three times, laying on it's side for four hours, then sitting in a parking lot for two days, it still cranked right up with no problem. It's safe too. After my crash, I climbed out of the passenger window and walked with only a 2 inch gash on my knee from the the dash molding on the bottom.

Update! The Pathfinder unexpectedly threw a rod at 196,000 miles resulting in a total loss of the engine. This engine was whisper quiet, I had replaced the timing belt just 900 miles ago only for this to happen. When I went looking for my first smaller SUV I had compared driven a 5 speed Pathfinder before I bought my 97 Grand Cherokee. I was impressed with the R50 pathfinder but the Jeep name, solid front axle, and 5.2 liter v8 sold me on the Jeep. In hindsight I wish I had gone with Nissan. Before I had reached 120K I had replaced all four of the axle shafts in the Jeep, the rear bearings twice and the water pump. The Jeep was fast, handled good, looked great, but I hated that ZJ. It always had roar from the crappy oddball aluminum center section Dana 44. It never ever got better than 14.2 MPG. I almost forgot to mention the notorious death wobble that will almost jerk the wheel from your hands when you hit a bump in the road at 45 mph. The Nissan handles great but rides rough, I suspect that with 196K the shocks, springs, and struts need replaced. I'm just waiting because I intend on going with a 2 inch lift and 31-10.50 mud tires. The Pathfinder is more roomy inside than the Jeep because the spare is located under rather than inside the vehicle. One note on the Pathfinder, replace the timing belt at or before 105K and 210K. The 3.3 is an interference engine and breaking the belt will destroy the engine. Expect to pay around $600 for parts and labor which should include all belts and a new water pump.

The car was great until it hit 100,000 miles, now I have had several problems with it.

I like that it is black. The mileage is average, I get 19 mpg on the highway and 15-16 mpg in town. It is a very tough vehicle. It has a 3.3 Liter V6. I can hear the rumble of the exhaust.
