Hello Xterra members: I cam currently deciding on purchasing a 2000 Xterra XE with 150K for my daughter's first car, The lady selling it is asking 6800 for it and she got it down to 65000. The Xterra is in mint condition both inside and out, the engine compartment both from the top and in the undercarriage looks clean with no leaks, and it tests drive very good. However the fact that it has 150K is making me skeptical with this purchase. The seller has no maintenance records but she claims that the truck has been properly maintained (looks like it) plus the price is preety good since Xterras here in the LA area are at around 8K for even a high mileage one.
How much life can I expect from this V6 Xterra with 150K before a major overhaul? Is the 3.3 engine in the Xterras easy to work with as in being able to change the plugs and wires myself? Any high mileage forum members out there want to comment on this possible purchase I have to decide on today? Thanks in advance
