2006 Xterra- good deal?

[msumms]

seems like this comes with a bunch of goodies for the price. what should i be looking for on these? i've heard good things about the 4L. owner doesn't know if it's had the pulleys replaced, so i've already asked that question. however, he says there's no whine and is cognizant of the issue. any thoughts on price?

nice rig with some good parts for the price. biggest concern in the timing chain guides on the 4.0s they are know to start failing around that mileage mark. The Radflos probably need a full rebuild but Greg at PRG should be able to help with that.

Salvage title? No way.

Yeh, I personally would stay away from a salvage title. You have no idea what was damaged (even though the seller says just a bumper....)

i have pics from the accident on the rear end... of course i would take it and see if there was frame damage before purchasing.

I vote go for it. If accident damage is just the bumper that is a good deal.

checked it out today. there's some frame damage from where the hitch was pulled under (you can see how far the replacement hitch sticks out, imagine that getting hit and transferring the energy to the frame and ripping it out.) but the car doesn't really pull one way or another noticeably. however i'd like to attach a heavier swing out bike rack on the rear end so i passed on it. i have some expensive bikes and don't want to even have to think about it. it seems solid and a good ride, but will be hard to recover any investment.

it looks ************ and has a great stance. owner bought it salvage from the auction and fixed it up and modded it himself and has been driving it for 12k miles since, so all the mods were done around 12k ago. but he doesn't tow with it. suspension mods are tastefully done and if you're not towing or throwing anything on the hitch i'd reckon it's a good deal for a mild wheeler, you probably have some leverage here on price too. fun rig

Looks like it might be a good deal. Some salvage cars are good deals. Look it over well and decide. Maybe get a better price.
