1989 Nissan Pathfinder EX 3.0 VGA

Summary:

Overall a great bargain vehicle

Faults:

My water pump failed 180,000 miles.

My transmission died out about 190,000 miles.

Right now I'm having problems with the cooling system. I have to add coolant every fifteen days (15). The problem is located over the engine compartments.

One of the main insertion points of the main cooling system hose has sprung a small leak and I can't find a replacement.

Have to change the rear shocks, this is now at around 215,000 miles.

General Comments:

Overall it's a great vehicle.

The interior is great for such an old vehicle.

The 4X4 is great, can anywhere without a problem.

Although the gas consumption is really a problem.

Its only giving me 12 miles to the gallon in the city and 15 on the road.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
