Happy Motoring. ;-)
Pocahontas,
Edmunds.com/Roving Host
looks like there are several new/potential x owners- congrats to those that bought and those that didnt;
xe vs. se - if you want the sunroof,6 disc cgr and like the interior upgrade the se is worth it. if its all the same, get the xe
will it last?- forever w/ proven parts
good buy?- its nearly got cult status- a rare vehicle people are passionate about
BTW.. thanks pocahontas for all the links to the old discussions. Beats searching xterra and backtracking.
or maybe a used Yugo
.
1. How much is it?
2. What color do I like?
3. The dealer told me that my warranty will be voided unless I pay $5,000 over sticker.
4. My wife doesn't like stick. What should I do?
I need guidance right now.
The terminal block you are looking at is NOT where you need to hook up your harness. Go toward the rear of the vehicle, and keep looking up. You will see the end of the harness peaking out just over the frame, very close to the rear door (still underneath the vehicle).
Hope this helps...

No problem with color, they all turn a cool rusty powder coat after the first wash.
They all come no-matic, so you wife will be happy, depending how fast she can push it and jump in.. as always, plan your trips downhill.
The Extera is cool too, but you have to move to the north pole to get all the benefits from it.
I'd pass on the S-500, It's got Ford parts, and comes with very small cupholders.. the real benchmark of any good SU-VE
Thanks for the help!
The Yugo SE has web seats, like lawn chairs. Much more comfy. Definitely worth the extra $$$.
guinness247 - I think leather is about a $1,000 option, don't know if its through the dealer or aftermarket. Don't know about limited colors though.
Congrats to all new owners. This is a great truck.

What else comes with the xtreme package besides the sticker?

Both are aftermarket leather upholstery installers.
im about to buy a new 2001 se however just spotted a hardly used model with less than 5000 miles for 19500 (private sale) . 4 months old.
Its obviously a 2000 model without sun roof and only a single cd changer. However its a huge saving on new.
what do you guys think ?
any help gratefully received.
i would also question why the quick sale. accident? lemon? lost a job? there arent too many legitimate reasons people sell so soon...
if price is really a concern, maybe a 2001 xe will do you fine. its only a couple grand more and you have the peace of mind of having a new truck (which in itself may be invaluable).
It that new car smell worth an extra $8000 plus sales tax and plates?
You might have it inspected for possible damage.
Someone asked why a peoson would be selling a nearly new vehicle. Anyone who reads here sees how totally uninformed many consumers are. They don't care or know about making a smart purchase they just want to satisfy their consumptive urges immediately. Profit from them. Buy their discards.
I've seen many cars need their noses repainted because the "protective" bra rubbed through the paint OR caused rust OR made the paint crack OR discolor.
Kind of ironic, huh?
OK.. longer version.. unless it is aftermarket, xe's don't come with sunroofs.and have packages...only se's have sunroofs and no packages. ( unless it is an xtrerra.. then you are on the wrong board ) Spend a little more time with the brochure to know all the ins and outs.
The engine is the old tried and true bulletproof engine.. no worries there.
Escape as leverage.. now that is a good one I'll have to remember
As far as the bug deflector.. Nissan has one, GTS, Lund.. basically all the same. Go over to xterrastore.com or xterraparts.com to see Nissan's or other web sites like overlander.com
Does anyone have any info on a way that power to the starter could be cut via some kind of switch to prevent a non-owner from starting the vehicle?
Brent
I'm still waiting for one that would make a cup of coffee in the morning for the drive to work. I go through withdrawl on my commute.. ( 5 minute drive )
Brent
the nice thing about it, is that you can't see it, it doesn't look like an add-on that looks like crap, and its not expensive!!!
brent, i thought i had it bad, 28 mile commute on the Garden State Parkway bumper to bumper 4 of 5 days, about an hour to 1 1/2 hours back and forth (with a 5 speed, my left leg is killing me!!!)
Keep the dirty side down and shiny side up.. watch the roads, and have fun xing around.
Thanks for you help, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
I saved about $400 and felt better that it was directly from Nissan. Odd thing was that the dealer I bought from told me that they do not even offer the Nissan warranty which I still find a little strange.
Also, I was driving in LI, NY yesterday and I saw a black X with the plates XTERROR. Whoever you are (I think I saw someone mention it earlier when talking about customized plates), Great X! Hopefully you see this so you can tell me where you got that cool Xterra decal (I think it was)for the wind deflector.
One last question, I am thinking about replacing the front speakers and the stereo/CD as a holiday gift to myself.
Sorry for such a long post...I hope everyone had a good Holiday!!!!
thats me!! thanks for the compliment....I got the Xterra decal on my wind deflector at a sign shop....they can make just about anything you want(color, size, font style) cost me around $40. Its a small world after all.....where are your from??? take care, Mike
ps I have replaced my complete sound system and would recommend Eclipse. Mine sounds 100x better than stock.....I bought my stuff from a guy on Route 110 in Huntington....
If there isn't a "whoosh" sound when you loosen the cap then it's not sealing properly. My Stant "Pre-vent" cap does fine on my '00.
Brent
Thanks again and maybe next time I'm around the neighborhood you can show me your X and give me some ideas! Mine is starting to look a little boring! LOL
I haven't heard anything about more power in the Xterra in 2002 But if this is true, more than likely the Xterra will get the same super charger that's in the Frontier that pumps out 210 HP and 245 lb/ft. torque (I believe the 245 is correct). Frankly, I wouldn't jump on it just yet. Since the setup is relatively new with this engine, enough time hasn't passed to make me feel comfortable with it just yet.
i wouldnt be surprised if they add it in '02 or '03 for sure. with all the new competition, they have to keep the xterra in the game
if you want power, why not the 245hp pathfinder? it is highly rated as an suv and looks/ drives great
