Nissan Pathfinder

Thoroughly inspect for rust, especially the frame, rocker panels, and wheel wells, as it's a major concern.

Check all 4WD components for proper engagement and fluid leaks, including transfer case and differentials.

Test drive to assess engine, transmission (smooth shifts, no slips), and suspension noises/performance.

Verify service history if available, focusing on major maintenance items like timing belt/chain and fluid changes.

Budget for potential repairs and upgrades, as it's an older vehicle that will likely require some attention.

Consider aftermarket parts availability and community support for modifications and specialized repairs.
