I had basically this exact Xterra, and got it for like $750, in really good clean shape! It needed a few little things, but I decided to go through it from top to bottom (timing belt and water pump, along with a few other things) and after driving it God only knows how many miles I sold it for like $4200!! I regret selling it cause it was by far one of the best vehicles I've had in years!! I'm definitely looking forward to finding another good, clean 4x4 that gets somewhat good gas mileage, because it is Soo much better than having a payment AND spending 5 times the money!

Yeah. I got a 2003 Xterra for my Son's first car in 2020 for $2500. It had 110,000 miles on it. Needed a heater core. Fixed that, rear springs and a bunch of other minor issues, I probably had about $5,000 all in to make that thing run for at least another 100k miles. And loved it because it has that cool factor look to it. 6 months later, he destroyed it driving stupid up and embankment and launched it off the side of a 4 foot concrete barrier. I was pissed as all hell!!! But, in the end, it was a great little truck to crash like that. He would be dead if I bought him a Civic. That Xterra kept him safe with just seat belt rash.

Rust converter chemically changes rust (iron oxide) to iron tannate or iron pyrite, which are inert and stop any oxidation process. One brand I use is call ospho, just brush it on, let it soak in, and it converts in a few hours and turns dark. After that you are done, you can even paint it if you like.

Don’t need to sandblast the frame. Knock off excessive scale with a wire brush and paint it with POR15. It doesn’t have a solvent to evaporate and leave pinholes in the finish. When it dries, it seals it up like epoxy. VERY CHEAP FIX. That’s a classic car restoration trick for some applications.

Now we have a used 2007 Nissan Versa with the 4 speed Jaco automatic, it just turned over to 180,000 miles. We bought it a year ago for $1,800. I changed all motor/trans mounts, all coil packs & plugs, MAS, both O2 sensors, all 4 wheels got new rotors, drums a pads/shoes, changed the oil/filter as well the trans fluid/trans filter, new coolant and installed a trailer hitch for our 5 X 8 utility trailer. Being a California since brand new the car there is zero rust and underneath the Nissan looks like new. The white body is OK, a little rough, no dents, interior fair after using "Ez Off over cleaner" on the grease and oil stained seats. That Ez Off really works good with a stiff brush some water and a lot of elbow grease! We are now getting 30 to 35 MPG and this little Versa pulls our trailer with the Harley Davidson Fatboy just fine.

Xterras are solid vehicles. My in-laws owned an 04 for 10 years and it was super reliable. It got terrible gas mileage (my Ram Pentastar is thriftier) and the engine's got a timing belt but make sure to replace that one every 60K-75K miles and you're good for 300K miles. PS. make sure it stays away from moisture, ours developed rust where the rack rails attached to the roof and on top of the windshield seal. We're talking about a CA vehicle.

The cam sensor is in the distributor on that one and those are known for distributors taking a dump. Try to get an OE Nissan if it's still available. If not, you'll have to try two or three aftermarket ones before finding one that works. And replace the knock sensor. And I would do the O2 sensor since it's an upstream one and can make a difference in fuel trims if the heater isn't working.

I sand blasted some of the frame on my car this year, and bought this paint called Rust Grip. It's a marine coating used on barges, off shore oil rigs, bridges, etc. It's a urethane based aluminum flake chemistry that cures with moisture in the air. It passed the Army corp of engineers 15,000 hr salt spray test. I'm hoping that it works because I hate having my vehicles get eat with PA road salt and gravel. I will be posting a video of it once spring comes so I can how well it holds up.

Yeah, I live in Rust Island. Between six months of salt and twelve months of potholes, cars do not last much past 10 years here. And they are gestapo-like about inspections and emissions. The RI DMV will suspend your registration in the system automatically if your inspection is past due (every 2 years). Cops have plate readers in their cars to snag the past due cars. Get that sensor done. Sucks here. I'm coming to Tennessee, I swear.

For emissions testing here in GA, you don’t need to worry about the Gas Cap Light being on. I know this, because my vehicle passed emissions with that light on. It’s the check engine light that will cause your vehicle to fail. As long as your vehicle has the gas cap (if equipped), they don’t care about that light as long as there are no check engine light trouble codes, even cleared ones. They just assume you haven’t gotten it reset yet.

I have a 2004 Xterra, and my biggest recurring issue, and an issue that happens to a few (but not all) xterras is the rear sway bar occasionally swinging wide and clipping your rear break line. Yeah, no joke, had my rear break line cut six times since I bought it. No recall or anything. Finally the state I lived removed the necessity of a sway bar from the safety inspection and I pulled that thing out as fast as I could. Now I love my car. 240,000 miles and still counting.

In all reality all you really need to do is get Rust-Oleum black spray paint and apply it to the rust surface areas and what you can also do is take a dual action sander with a 720 grit on the more rusted areas sand it down and apply black Rust-Oleum spray paint that is Rust resistant but in all reality any black spray paint will prevent rust. But, a rust resistant spray paint is going to work better than just regular spray paint

Got myself a '03 Xterra over the holidays down in FL. Like New condition and was Carfax 1-Owner, SE trim with most of the options selected (only options missing were traction control and the supercharger). Cost me $10k BUT it only had 55k miles and the condition was honestly great. She is only RWD but where I lose in traction benefits I win significantly in long term reliability and even then the traction has been great. During the last two snow falls here in the Midwest were my job sent me, she has had absolutely no problem driving through any of it, and on highway tires, just smart throttle control and the massive benefit that the SE trim of this year had the mechanical LSD which in the snow/slush has done wonders. These older Nissans are just fantastic tough trucks/SUVs.

Bought an 04 4wd last year off of the side of the road. 170,000 miles with timing belt change etched into the frame at 120,000 miles. Small leak on transmission coolant. Fixed with a $15 hose. Been perfect other than the service engine on and off dependent to where I buy gas. Roof liner is sagging too. 😂 And I paid $3,500. Most fun I could expect running through the orange groves down here in FL

I owned four Datsuns/Nissans in a row back in the day, I liked them. Everybody in the family owned the old Datsun mini trucks at one time or another. My last Nissan was a 1990 Axxess minivan. Same drivetrain as the 240SX, 5 speed manual, it ran like a scalded ape for what it was. Oddball little thing but I loved that car. First minivan to have sliding doors on both sides too, IIRC.

Scotty must be following me around. They are out there if you can read the shop manual, turn a wrench and know what to look for (and stay away from). I am finishing up on a $2,000 2005 Ford Escape 3.0 AWD 4X4. 190,000 miles but amazing newish looking inside & out. Endoscope shows all engine internals look very good. The cylinder walls even still have original cross hatched honing polishing marks (man they are making some good engines these days - if the owner changes oil regularly). Runs great, no codes, but it had a vibration on the road. Common issue with Escape/ Mazda Tributes of those years. So new motor mounts all around, new A/C parts all around, fuel injectors pulled, cleaned and new filter baskets installed, new top line spark pugs, 4 brand name all terrain tires, all fluids including brake system changed. Cooling system cleaned, flushed, new coolant, all air and fuel filters and some minor parts store replacement stuff. And a 4 hour detail buff & polish. In the end I have a good looking good running all season 200hp 4x4 SUV and have far less than $5,000 total into it.

Look good! This is what I refer to as a "Granny Car". I always look for these cars when I need one. They're the best values and perfect for 4 or 5 years if well maintained. Then, when it comes time to sell it, you get a comparatively good return on your purchase. And if you wreck it, the loss isn't that great. 👍
