  By Kangel Davis - October 9 - 11:06 pm

  I loved this vehicle also like the review below...mine also was totaled in an accident by a speeder. Not a scratch built to last & safety a plus. With 141,000 still going strong. The only prob;em my air bag did not go off & being hit at 50 oops something went wrong...otherwise the best I every owned & now looking to replace...with yep another Xterra

  260000 - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By themazemaker - August 24 - 2:35 am

  My wife bought her xterra brand new in 2000. have had some minor issues with it till it hit 250000 and had to have the tranny rebuilt. Must say that is awsume. having an overheating issue now and trying to track it down. usually when the Air is on it overheats but have not had any other issues to speak of. Love this Vehicle. Will buy another someday when this one goes to the car graveyard lol. it didnt give me an option for saying its an Automatic just manual.

  2000 Xterra Still Going Strong - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By clgd3 - February 7 - 11:40 pm

  I have owned my Nissan Xterra since I bought it new in 2000. I have not had any problems at all mechanically. I have the oil changed every 3000 to 5000 miles. The only thing that has been replaced a couple of times has been the battery. Other than that it has been a great vehicle. I am even thinking about buying a 2008 or 2009 when Im ready to buy another vehicle. Ive been totally happy with my Xterra the past 8 years. I have read that some people have had problems with rust forming on the exterior. I noticed some rust that appeared to form in the paint but with occasional waxing it inhibited any corrosion. Overall the best vehicle Ive owned.

  The Yeti - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By Me - June 16 - 4:19 pm

  I purchased this truck from a small used car lot about a year and a half ago. Rescued is more like it and I knew it . It would seem that the previous owner did not care for it too much. It is a risk you take buying used from any where. It had 142,000 on it so I took that chance. I knew that it would be a project. I have replaced the valve gasket, radiator and hoses, thermostat, steering pump, rear window sprayer (missing when bought), spark plugs, distributor cap with rotor and wires, drive belts, brakes, ac compressor, refurbished the electronic control module, and replaced various lights. I still want to replace the shocks and touch up the paint. It is not difficult to work on with room to do so. Not typical of most vehicles now. The cost of repairs have been reasonable. It has always started and never left me stranded. It is a tough truck in which I see was designed to keep going. Surprisingly, it can hold and tow a lot. Never stuck off road yet. I can park it and not be too worried about finding it upon return. It lives up to its moniker; all that you need. Nothing big but more than it appears. I love the outdoors and play rugby. I love my truck and look forward to all the places we will go.

  Exceeds Expectation - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By Tomtiger - June 9 - 11:33 pm

  I bought this vehicle for its looks a few weeks after its first introduction into US market in 1999 and I have to say that it has served my family extremely well. My wife primarily drives this truck. Other than normal maintenance, A/C compressor was the only major thing I had spent money on in its fist seven years. Is being TEN YEARS now going ELEVEN that ive owned this truck. It has about 190000 miles and still running strong as ever. I will buy another one if Nissan ever decide to make it to accommodate a third row seat.

  Great Basic 4x4 - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By Mike FHR - May 3 - 10:00 am

  Who needs leather and wood grain dash?! Its a 4x4 dang it. Our Xterra is great. Plenty of room for our family and gear. Weve been up to the mountains, the beach and around town. I like that its very different looking than its competition too.

  and i have to say i believe you are supposed to have your airbags serviced every so often so people whos airbags didnt go off could have done that. probly a good thing to do for all late model vehicles

  Love the Xterra - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By mermansk - October 15 - 10:00 am

  I bought mine new at first release of 2000 model year. Sole owner. Marathon road trips, city traffic, towing and commuting. Wonderful balance between interior space, utility, horsepower, gas mileage, etc. Family of four traveling regularly. I own the SE version because I dont believe in power everything. Ive added power door locks/security system and a towing hitch. Basic maintenance is all Ive had to do. Bang for buck, its on top of the heap.

  My X Rocks HARD!!! - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By microserf - August 10 - 2:00 am

  Ive driven my XterraSEV64x4 from Atlanta, GA, to San Francisco, CA and back, TWICE. Ive driven my X from San Francisco to Tahoe for skiing trips, up to Napa Valley numerous times, all over the Sunshine State from Pensacola on over to Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando and Miami and back numerous times. Ive driven up in the north Georgia mountains in Helen, GA. Cruised throught the quaint germantowns, as well as the crazy rocky trails up to Amicalola Falls.
