1999.5 One of the Few - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
By Barbara - August 6 - 12:13 pmWe bought this new in 1999 and the models ran out, so Nissan created a 1999.5 with a brochure and everything, but it is a 2000 model SE with the 16 inch wheels.Its gold and with the pipe step racks. Never had any serious repairs, i.e. no timing belts, struts, etc. Change the oil every 5000 miles with the filter and purchased new tires only once in 77,000 miles. Great room in the back and seats 5 comfortably. Extremely comfortable inside and not as big overall as the new ones that look and drive like tanks. The mileage is 18 to 20 on the highway, but 16 around town, but regular gas. Its been a great SUV with a Bose system thrown in when we bought it at no charge.

Great steady SUV - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
By jeff-corease - July 4 - 10:00 amMy 2000 Nissan Pathfinder is Rock soild. My Pathfinder has 60000 miles already and other than regular scheduled maintenance I have only purchased a battery for this automobile. In fact I brought my wife a 2001 E Class Mercedes and she drives the Pathfinder everyday and not the Benz! She told me the Pathfinder is slow (3.3liter) but she (Pathfinder) feels soild and is dependable.

Nissan Reliabilty - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
By ssjkyle31 - May 24 - 10:00 amI was torn between the 2001 model and the 2000 model. Good thing I got the 2000 model which runs on regular octane gas with gas price so high now. I consider myself a typical SUV user. Someone who will probably never take this SUV off the ashpalt pavement except for the dirt & gravel road I took between Nevada and California when there was a major sig alert on I15 and that was fun.

Nissan Pathfinder LE 2000 - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
By fishie - March 26 - 10:29 pmIts in very good condition despite its lack of check ups when my dad drove it for years (he was always busy) and its a very solidly built car compared to our other cars. I usually just drive to school, work, and the store with no problems whatsoever. Handles very well, and blessed with the AWD during the winters. Although rusting a bit on the front of the body by the bumpers, those are just external things not so important to me. The gas mileage isnt great, but its gotten me from point A to B successfully and safely every time, and Im so glad weve kept it for me to drive. Currently at 140,000 miles, most likely more, and going strong. This thing can run for YEARS!

Great truck for anything! - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
By Beezie - January 21 - 5:26 amI bought the SE in 2002 with 22,000 miles and now it has 132,000 miles. No major problems at all! Regular oil changes and new tires and shocks, it rides like its brand new. Its very agile around sharp turns and very capable on washed out roads. A K&N air filter gives it more power. Regular easy maintenance keeps it running and running. Its very reliable, everything is working correctly. Lack of power but the 3.3L V6 is very easy to maintain, very reliable. I love this truck.

99.5 Pathfinder 217k miles no problems - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
By Ryan - December 24 - 2:00 amI own the 1999.5 Pathfinder base model XE and its a great vehicle hands down. Just exceeded 217,000 miles and Ive never had a problem - ever. I do take care of it however. I change the oil and rotate the tires every 6k miles. I change the trans. fl. every 33k miles. I replace all seals, the water pump, the oil pump, timing chain, etc. (Nissans recommended maint.) every 100k miles. I have the brakes checked every 60k miles. The engine still runs like the day I bought it (Ive been the only owner). Interior has held up well- but pass. window is real slow. Exterior still looks good- never been garage kept and I hardly ever wash it. For the abuse Ive put it through, a great vehicle.

Pathfinder 2000 SE 4X4 - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
By Sonani Onassis - August 1 - 2:00 amI have loved my Pathfiner ever since I bought it. If you dont like powerful, fast engines, pathfinders (2000 model and below) are excellent SUVs, very reliable. I feel safe and secure in them no matter what the weather conditions, though in slippery snowy and icy conditions, pathfinders have a lot of limitations when engaging 4X4, especially in turns and uphill.

Nice SUV - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
By exphys - March 3 - 10:00 amBougt this SUV as an upgrade from a Nissan Frontier pick-up. Plenty of room for people, cargo and the dog. Smooth car like ride makes this SUV fun to drive. Safety of anti-lock brakes,and conveniance of on demand 4wd enhance the overall apeal of this vehicle. Excellent reliability and durability track record are a definate plus.
