Should I buy this Frontier?
I'm looking at an affordable (to me) Pro-4X or Nismo Edition Frontier. I'd say my budget caps out around $13,000. There is an 08 Nismo Edition near me at a small dealer, in over all pretty good condition but with some issues. It has 122,000 miles.
Pros: Texas truck. I live in the rust belt, this car hasn't seen a single midwest winter. Long car fax history. Some big work done less than 40k miles ago. Aftermarket double DIN with android auto. Two sets of keys with fobs. A couple Z1 goodies on it. Interior was nice and had some weather techs. Test drive went well, everything seemed to work. Has a hitch and tonneau cover. Slight tint on the windows.
Cons: Throwing a code for a possible bad cat. Possible oil/trans fluid leak. Looked to be a small drop collected on a brace after the test drive, not sure if it was there before, but nothing was leaking on the ground before or after the test drive.
Price: 11,000. I've tried haggling and I think MAYBE I can get him down to 10,500. He showed me all the paper work and pricing he's paid for it and if it's to believed it will still be a loss for him.
Some of you may have an easy time saying no to this, but keep in mind finding a rust free truck like this near me is damn near impossible.
Let me know what you think.
