Opinions on a Purchase

[Roybatty]

Was checking out a couple ZR2 Blazers in PA yesterday. Nice drive through Amish country. Went to Lebanon and later Saint Clair. When I hit I81 I got profiled by a state trooper. He followed me for a good five miles...then he finally took off.....red cars in PA ::scoff::

One was 140k, a bit rickety and had more body rust than I wanted to deal with. The other was 58k, mechanically sound but also more sniggly body issues.

Anyone in Long Island area?

I like the ~5.5" lift and appurtenant mods, custom exhaust etc. The blazers are a little tighter than I thought, but really should be a good addition to the fleet for weather related/beach runs.

Mods like that if done correctly can be pricey.

That looks infinitely better than any of those Blazers. Just make sure it isn't a flood ride, seeing as how it's in Jersey.

Looking at these guys now...2005 Nissan Pathfinder LE, $12,995 - Cars.com

2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE, $13,990 - Cars.com

Anyone have any issues with the 2012 to 2005 Pathfinders? Been reading up about the radiator/trany problems but seems like otherwise they are pretty solid.

Ended up purchasing this for $3,600 cash!

Finally....stealth is ready for a hard down...and I feel a hard winter coming this year... we are due.

Took some time...and saw some POSs out there thats for sure but pretty happy with this one brand/style/amenities etc. At least its not a Chevy lol

hell, i would have suggested a vehicross...but that's a nice snag too!

As rare as that vehicross is, I have a neighbor who has one...always wondered what it was...looks part amphibious!

Pretty happy with this snag so far...may have to start one of those 'other platform' threads. The JGC are fairly ubiquitous and there is a lot that can be done to them. For the price, she looks great but there are some PMs I will have to get to. Seller said it needed an oil change...did that...had less than 2 quarts out of 6 (V8 version) Plastic oil plug washer showing signs of leaking, etc oil filter taken off by hand (also showing signs of leaking). Ugh...be weary of the Jiffy lubes.

Otherwise there is a little leaking from front differential, oil from rear DS valve/rocker cover, I think there is a power steering leak but not major. DS CV boot in front has opened up. Some quirky electronic issues, when she starts the ac comes on , fairly consistently for some reason. Still drives fine otherwise and looks good. Heated leather seats work...appreciate that on the chilly mornings nowadays.
