What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Nissan Pathfinder

Price of the Nissan Pathfinder: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 5.6L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range		 Nissan had a great lease offer for V8 SE models and the payments were less than what the competition was offering.
2006 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 The Pathy runs about 10% cheaper than the Toyota ForeRunner, which is an excellent vehicle, but comes at a premium price. I think the PF runs 99% of the Toyota longevity, and about 95% of the fit and finish. This makes it a better buy in my eye
2006 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD		 We where able to deal a $34,000 pathfinder down to $26,500. with 4.0% interest. GREAT DEAL!
2005 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Was less than a 4Runner.
2001 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic RWD		 Theres not another SUV in its price range that has the power, features, and quality that the Pathfinder offers. In my opinion is superior to the Toyota 4Runner in every possible way while being a little cheaper.
Price of the Nissan Pathfinder: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 As it is an import SUV, you will pay more than comparable domestic SUVs. However, the reliability of the Pathfinder should more than make up for it.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Ford Expedition

Price of the Ford Expedition: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8
6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 I bought used with 20K miles on it when gas was $4/gallon. Used prices were very depressed relative to new; try to find one with low miles, relatively new and in great shape. Plan on keeping this one for 7-8 yrs (if you can afford the gas).
2007 4dr SUV, ext. 300-horsepower 5.4L V8
6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Best priced.
2003 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 5.4L V8
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 The price we got the Expedition for was far less than any comparible vehicle. We looked at Suburbans and everything in between and they were all asking waaay to much.
Price of the Ford Expedition: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2005 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8
4-speed automatic RWD		 Was stickered at $42K but paid $32K, why not a lower sticker ?
