melissa hale Under the radar. Look for a Nissan Xterra around 2002-2005 years. Just bought a 2003 with 158,000 miles. Got lucky and older gentleman bought it when it was only 3 years old with 38,000 miles and he religiously took care of it. I got a phenomenal deal. I can’t find one for what I paid but if you look they can be had anywhere from $3000-$6000. Watch KZbin videos of these things, they are beasts at off-roading in stock form. So if you rig it up you got a vehicle that can hang with the best of them. Shhhhhh, don’t tell anybody or these things will be $9000 next week. LOL.

People don’t appreciate how much Porsche over-engineered the 955/957 Cayenne. Low range, central and rear diff locks, disconnectable sway bars. VR6 in the base model is solid, transmission is made by Aisin (a Toyota supplier). And it drives like a Porsche on the road unlike the GX, Wrangler or Xterra.
@MrJamesLuz4 жыл бұрын

It's horribly loud, uncomfortable, and does not feel like it even wants to be on the road. Sure, I get that "People buy them for the offroad capabilities" but I doubt most of the people will ever take them off the pavement. People just think they are cool for some reason and drive them around like "Look at me!" Sure, people do that with other vehicles but at least the guys in G Wagon are driving a Mercedes, something to actually be proud of even if it never leaves the pavement. Blah, spend the money on something like a Cayenne instead or get a Land Cruiser. At least then you will have something capable that is at least comfortable.

I’ve actually been thinking about doing this very thing for a few years now. The first generation Cayennes actually came with a dual-range transfer case (in the turbos at least; not sure about the other models). They are really cheap for the performance you get, and surprisingly reliable. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they are Toyota reliable, but certainly better than my X5 (which had over $60,000 in work done over the course of its warranty, including a new engine *and* transmission). The Turbos have ~500 horsepower, and can easily gain more with simple tuning. They also handle amazing for an SUV, have great brakes, comfortable interior etc.

SeanTheCajun It was an 05’ X5 4.4i. I got rid of it just as the warranty expired lol. I also had a 745i with the same 4.4L V-8; luckily I didn’t keep it long enough to experience anything other than electrical gremlins that seemed to come and go with no rhyme or reason. I’m pretty sure the 03’s and 05’s are basically the same; the 03’s would have been pre-update (mid-cycle refresh came along somewhere in between those, can’t remember exactly), but the architecture was the same. I would highly recommend parting with it before something catastrophic happened. Mine had issues that required being stranded/towed roughly a dozen times, with about that many more requiring at least an overnight stay at the dealership. It was many different things as well. There are just so many common points of failure with those vehicles Edit: Oh just realized you said that he got rid of it, but wants another. The ones with the 3.0 inline-6 are supposed to be quite a bit more reliable. That 4.4 is a really fun motor, don’t get me wrong. Just incredibly unreliable. BMW I-6’s are buttery smooth though.

@@dr.lyleevans6915 He had the straight six one. I recall him saying it had the same motor as an '03 E39 he also had (he gave it to my brother), and is also the same motor that's in his '06 5.30xi wagon. N52 I think? I've also heard of other problems besides the engines though (air suspension, right?), but that probably wouldn't stop him. lol

SeanTheCajun Yep, my air suspension went out twice. Required a complete replacement of the pneumatic hardware on both occasions. Lots of electrical issues, transmission problems, fuel injectors, head gaskets, radiator, brittle hoses cracking (connection points of hoses as well), auto-dimming mirrors, electronic compass, rear main seal, alignment issues, steering rack, hubs, tail lamp assembly, the car battery tends to drain after 2-3 days of sitting, and left front brake hose are all issues I had just off the top of my head lol All that being said, they really do have amazing performance. I had a 350Z at the same time, and I swear that it could have hung with it around a track. The acceleration, handling, and braking all felt similar
