I am going to try and pick one of these up for winter next year and I was wondering if anyone knows if there's good or bad years, heavy problems or what? I love the vehicle it looks wicked.

Price range is about $5000 tops Canadian and I've found a few they have about 100,000 Miles or so. Should I just buy a dumb domestic truck? or should I give the import SUV a shot?

Couldn't find anywhere else to post this since we don't have an open "other infiniti" section.

Thanks!

 

I had a 01 Pathfinder several years ago and really liked it. It had the 3.5L engine with 240HP and very reliable. I would buy another as a utility vehicle in a heartbeat.

 

definately get an 01+. vg33 qx4's cant get out of their own way.

 

I used to have an 03 QX4 and it is very solidly built and I sometimes feel the build quality of that truck was better than the FX I have now. Absolutely no issues with it when I got rid of it.

 

Alright good to hear, I don't need to find it yet but in the next few months when it starts getting too cold for my G, I'll start to look.

Thanks guys!

 

You might think about a purchase before it starts to get cold. I have noticed that prices fluctuate with the seasons for SUV's like it does for the G's. There has been a dramatic increase in prices for G's in Tx in the last 2 months. The prevailing theory is that it's more of a summer car than a winter car, so when demand goes up so do prices.

The inverse is true with the SUV's. When I sold the Pathfinder, I could have made ~ $1500 more for it if I waited a couple of months to sell it. But, I was dying to get back into a Maxima then and wanted to have it for the summer months.

Just my .02...........

 

Oh for sure, I saw that last year when I considered taking my Cadillac off he road for the winter, I looked at Silverado 4X4s in about august and they were dirt cheap, then I looked again around November and they were all up about $2000 so I decided I'd drive the Cadillac and buy a G when the summer came.

Worked out well if you ask me.

 

I'm looking at these too. Trying to find one for around 10k US. Have not driven one yet. They are a bit hard to come by.

If i cant find one, im going to buy a Chevy Trailblazer. Take a look at one of those to. Dirt cheap and have awesome inline 6 engines.
