I chickened out.

I crawled all over this thing today. It has minor rust in the rear door doglegs and typical rust on the bumpers. Brand new BFG All Terrain 13x10.50s. The underbody is immaculate. It still has those bar code stickers on the frame rails and torsion bars. The keys were on the dash, it fired quickly and ran smooth. 130,000 miles on the clock and hopefully the timing belt has been changed. That could be a deal breaker there.

Being a BHPH lot I didn’t expect a rep to come out unless I actually tried moving it. I wasn’t disappointed.

I found myself getting attached to it. Like I would buy it at any price. I’ve done that in the past and will not do it again. It’s a quick trip to the poorhouse doing that. I work this weekend, that’ll give me a cool off period and Monday I might make another run at it.

Slightly related: If you’re thinking about applying for that press operator job in Peosta, I probably have a connection fer ya’.

I have no idea when I last saw one of those looking that good. Or a black one. Love it

I rarely saw them in colors other than Black back in the day. I’m kind of in love.

I don’t think I could handle the pay cut. I bet the Temp company is getting $20/hr to fill that spot which is sad.

I haven’t seen a running Pathfinder years. My parents had a two door with the little triangle windows. Bought it brand new in the 80s. A buddy in college had one that was an electrical nightmare try though.

Do it for me...... We had an identical one (save for it being a ‘95 XE) back in the day, and regret selling it (unforseen circumstances). Would be cool seeing this one in posts on here.

I want to. I want to recreate my Xterra in Pathy form. I have to keep a clear head about it though. I’ll go in on Monday and talk to them.

I need to do something, Crusty’s transmission has precious few hours remaining.

I’m surprised you didn’t at least ask how much, but I respect that restraint.

Things may have gone differently if a Salesman walked out to chat. BHPH lots want control from minute one though. I may still go back Monday but I’m debating. A newer F150? Maybe even a Crew Cab? That sure would be nice.
