Default Looking at a Totaled out 03 Pathfinder - 08-28-2006 , 11:11 PM






This is at a body shop down the road. It is a 03 Pathfinder LE loaded with
everything. 15K miles from a town 30 miles away.
This car took a hit on the driver side. It took out the left finder it did
hit the wheel and took out door. I saw the pictures of the wreck. It took no
engine damage. Really did not look to bad. The wheel did take a hit.
I do know the fellow who owns the BODY Shop. He is pretty honest. He has
fixed a wrecked truck of mine a few years back.
The price on this is 15K starting out. He told me he could come down some
more. This does have a wrecked title

He told me when he was finished I could take it to any front end shape to be
checked/put on a laser.
I've been told no way to buy this. When a unibody is damaged it is out and
will haunt you forever.
This is for my daughter who is in her 3rd year of college. I was hoping
this to be her last car from me.
Her ride now has 100K and time to find one.

Ok give me the goods and bads and what I need to know about this Car.. Lay
it on me
The truck I now drive was totaled out. It is a 92 Z71 I have 298K miles on
it.
I'm on the side of buying this but what to get the facts and things to think
about.

As long as your not like any of my customers that whine about every little
problem that happens that they think could remotely be related to the
accident, you should be ok..

I wouldn't do it. It all depends on the shop and their quality of work.
Unfortunately most do just enough to make it look road worthy. You won't
find out what they missed until years later (like so the airbags still
work). What does a college student need with a gas guzzling SUV anyway?

Why do you need to replace a car with only 100K miles?

It's probably an American car.

This is my daughters car who is in college. She drives 400 miles home and
back. When it is a kid you just don't want no high mileage trouble.
This BUG has 110K miles on it. I changed timing belt, tune up, new brakes,
oil changed ever 3K. It runs good but its just that time for a newer one.
No my son, his has 175K on his Xterra. He can drive that till the wheels
fall off. I done babied his ass, pad his pockets. He is out of my hip
pocket, time for his young ass to get a job... No my little sweetie girl
needs something good to drive... And I catch her young as in another girls
gone wild tape I'M done with her.
