So I'm looking for a small truck and the Frontiers have caught my eye. I'm 18 so my funds are limited and I'm looking at a 2000 Crew Cab 2WD V6 (Here). I went to the dealership and test drove it, it drives good but there are a few cons. For one, it has 130k miles on it. The rear view mirror is detached but that doesn't seem like a huge deal. The passenger visor is missing, and whoever owned it last smoked cause the upholstery is dirty and has some burn holes. Also, the radio doesn't work for whatever reason. However, Frontiers seem to be hard to find at around this price (at least around here). I honestly don't really care if the interior is dirty and all that other stuff because that's just something I can use as a bargaining tool. My main concern is the 130k miles, I would like to hear some opinions.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention that the tires appear to be too thick and rub on full turns. Would this simply be fixed by grinding something down a bit or would I have to get a whole new set of tires?

Knucklesam;

Welcome to the group!

The first question I'd ask is has the timing belt been replaced yet.

Have a good one while you can still laugh about it.. Don S..

Hmm, I'm not sure. I'll ask the dealer.

Dealer wants too much for it, I'm looking at a promising Tacoma now.
