After all, these vehicles are all over 20 years old. A while back I was researching used SUVs and the Nissan Pathfinder is well known for the same problem, with A LOT less age and mileage. And Nissan will tell you take a hike as far as covering repairs, which average $3,500.00. Jeff Stewart ----- Original Message -----<BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV></DIV></div>
