Brought a car about two months ago! It's an 04 Nissan Pathfinder. On the outside this car looks GREAT... Also has a clean interior. That's about all that is good with this car.
I fully understand that it's "buyer beware" and "As is" when it comes to used cars.
The low rating is more for how I came out in this deal. The staff there was nice. However there was something they said they'd fix which I don't think they actually did before delivering the car to me.
Two months in and this car is in bad shape. I think I need a timing belt/chain replaced. Motor mounts are making intermittent noises. The transmission is also intermittently shifting hard on lower rpms. The right rear door some times sticks and does not open. I brought the car with no working radio as I fully intended to get an aftermarket radio anyway. So I'll eat that one (hopefully it's not the speakers also). I have yet to fix that minor issue because what I feel I'll need to focus my funds on the listed repairs. That's even if I do! I've been thinking this entire car my be a loss and maybe just get another car.
Again it's "As is", I don't even believe the guys at the dealership knew about all these issues. But looking back at it.... Now that I have all these issues, I definitely overpaid for this car. I was given a warranty, but it doesn't seem to be helpful as it seems the components have to completely and fully fail before they cover the repair cost (hopefully not while I'm driving). read more
