2002 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 This car was engineered and assemble in Japan and it makes a difference. The post 1995 Pathfinders were built in the US and their reliability has been significantly worse. I would not buy a US built Pathfinder. see full Nissan Pathfinder review
