Last trip mechanic. Estimate $3750. Car value at max if repaired for 2000 2 wheel drive 3.3 Xterra is $1800 Why bother. Yes I deferred maintenance. But vehicle needed all new calipers, rotors, pads.. 4 shocks. Muffker. Tires. Distributor cap. Plugs. Home in manifold. Hi pressure Ac hose. Right control arm ball joint. Stabilizer. Almost all linkages. Both torsion bars. I suggest the torsion bar design was ill conceived. Can't even buy them from Nissan. Have to get off road stuff. Only good part is engine is almost unkillable. Runs great. Despite bad knock sensor. That alone just to replace is another $1700. Engine tear down to get to one sensor. Makes you wonder who designs cars??? |
