I'm in the market for a new-old-used SUV because !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . So I found an Xterra at a local used car lot that appears to be in half decent shape. I stopped buy when the lot was closed to take a look at it because I can't deal with salesmen. There's almost no rust, save for the steel rear bumper, and the frame and floors look really clean. Interior is nice, and the leather isn't torn or even really worn. Tires are good, and there's no dents or scratches.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
It's an '02 Xterra SE Supercharcged. Only had two owners, and has 269,000kms on the clock. The dealer is selling it "As-Is", presumably because of the high mileage. Now, I'm fairly good with Nissans, but the Supercharged 3.3L (VG33ER) is new to me. So oppo, is there anything to look for with these engines? Or Xterras in general? Is it most likely as-is because of the mileage? Or do Xterras have some common problem points?

i mean c'mon. Why not asking 10k you mean? A) + 1 on timing belt being due, which means most def water pump and a deep clean and spray and lube and so on and so on
b) at its age it isn't eligible for conventional car financingfrombanks which with a non-collectible which automatically starts driving down prices
c) what else is due at 270k mileage, a lot of niggling details, guaranteed something random like one lower ball joint so why not repair everything all around etc etc.
D)99% they picked it up at an auction where they couldn't see anything but immediate visual and so they probably got it at 600-800 bucks, found it was more effort than they wanted to put in and now they want to "pass on the savings" of a 200% markup with nothing but a tow put into it. Offer them something way lower, give them your # and walk, would die if they don't call you days later

Don't touch that thing. Don't even LOOK at it.

Have you considered a 4runner? I had an 08 that was bulletproof.
