Hey everyone, I've been looking at a few Xterra's, and test drove my first one yesterday and I liked it. It was a 2001 with 45k miles. I wanted to know what things I should look for as far as the engine and body.

I noticed that the plastic parts like the grill and bumpers were pretty faded. Is there anything you can do about that?

I also noticed tiny spots of rust on the top door jams, is that fairly normal or did this person not take care?

Also, the AC only works on level 4, but it blows cold.

Other than that the Xterra was really solid, and the motor felt strong.

She is asking for around 8k for it.
We are going to look at a 2003 for 10.5k this week. Any pointers and advice would be awesome.

THanks guys!
