As an owner of an 04 Pathfinder that I bought at 96,000 miles, now 160,000, this thing is my Apocolypse vehicle. Ungodly complex 3.5 V-6, 4 cams, 24 valves, chains and stuff going all over the place, yet the only thing it needs beyond normal maintenance is a quart of oil about every 1500 miles. Beautiful black looks like new except for some paint chips, and gas mileage does not go above 15-18, ok would like better. 0 rust. I found out that the original OEM Bridgestone spare has never been down, mold nubs still on the tire. Front brakes not cheap to do because the front axles have to be pulled but worth it. I used it to pull my neighbors $100k Mercedes up a half mile 8 degree snow packed slope without spinning a wheel, he was stuck in the first 100 yards. He had an AWD version of the same car, and a Dodge 4wd pickup in his garage, don't ask me to explain that. Keep on trucking! I fix whatever that old R53 wants, would cost me $20,000 to replace it and it would look like every other SUV with body creases that go from nowhere to nowhere without being part of a theme.
