My cousin is selling a Nissan xterra 2003 for $4,800. It has 136,000 miles on it. He has the title, he will get it inspected, and he's going to put new tires on it. Is this a good deal /o/?

If you don't drive much it'd make a ok DD but if you do drive a lot just get a civic.
If you bought it and had to put a trans in it tomorrow would you resent him?

I hope not but I only have $5000 saved up.
>>15919326
Then no. If you only have 5k to your name you can't afford it.

Alright, thanks

Sounds dumb, but my standards for low miles is under 150k miles

Definitely this. How will you even pay sales tax+registration+insurance on that?
For anything older and used, I'd budget a solid $1500 to catch it up on maintenance and wear items, on an SUV that includes a full servicing of all differentials and transfer case, t-belt on cars that are due for it. Just a set of tires can set you back a solid $500-600.

have just as many/more issues
I respect XJs, but honestly I'd take the BOF gen 1 Xterra in most situations.

I have a 2003 manual. Great reliability, 170k original miles and 0 problems. Nothing in the way of creature comforts inside, but it has working heat, ac, and radio so its fine for me. Mileage is shit, so not a great commuter as above anons said.
>$4800
Not worth this. Maybe worth $3k at most in good condition. and you especially shouldnt get something that costs $4800 when you only have $5000 to work with. That's just stupid, anything goes wrong and you're fucked.
