Hey there. I have been looking for an SUV with a manual transmission. As luck would have it, one of the few I can find is the Xterra, which I have always liked. I was just in an accident and my vehicle was totaled, so now I have the chance to get one. It will be my daily driver (mostly highway) and see little off road time, so 2wd is fine. I found one that seems to be a good deal (http://www.nissanofmckinney.com/cert...b9fff05430.htm) but I have little experience with these vehicles.

Is there a list somewhere of specific things to look for on a used Xterra? Anything with the drivetrain, suspension, interior, driving characteristics, etc.? I plan to test drive the one in the link tomorrow. Any help to a newbie will be much appreciated! Thanks!
