Thanks for all the replies so far. XPLORx4 - thanks for pointing out the engine differences - you just prevented me from buying an 00 Pathfinder. I do not want to be stuck with something weak.
I am considering this 2002 Pathfinder

I'll see how low I can get him to go on the price, maybe finance a couple hundred dollars if I have to. It has low miles and i'm going to check it out Tuesday.
