2003 Nissan Pathfinder SUV LE 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Great first truck for a new driver
 My son's first car (truck).  Paid $3500 for this well maintained LE with 4x4 having 119k miles.  He wanted a 4 Runner or Cherokee, but they are almost double for a nice one.  It performs well: powerful, shifts smooth and is quite comfortable having leather and a sunroof.  Now after 1 year and 130k miles it's done well with only about $300 spent to keep in good running condition.  This includes replacing the rear suspension for just $140 (Amazon + our labor) and a few dollars for oil, minor parts and a couple of sensors.  He lifted it 2 inches along with new AT tires, but this is a separate cost.  I like that it has front and side air bags for safety.  It does have a minor RMS leak, but so did all five of the others that we looked at.  This is almost a given for most vehicles this old.  It will cost >$600 to fix, so we are putting it off.  MPG is 17, this is ~80% highway, about as advertised and expected.  Oh, if you are looking to buy any of this generation (R50) be sure to look for rust in the front wheel wells as this has been a big problem in areas using road salt.  If you see any rust, best to pass on it.Update: now at 139k miles.  Everything is still good.  Spent about $300 more on repairs ($600 total in 20k miles) on a new starter and front axle shafts.  The boots on the shafts failed, but this is probably due to the lift.  Still has the RMS leak, but we've been catching the drips in a rag that we replace every 2-3 weeks.  A great first vehicle for an active kid, except for the poor gas mileage.
