Default The Summer Car: 1988 Nissan Pathfinder

Well, summer has just arrived here, so I decided to buy a cheap 4WD I could take onto surf beaches and generally bash about. It's a 1988 Nissan Pathfinder and she's a beaut.

The car behind is my other vehicle, the Magna.

Here's the interior. I decided to pull it apart as the speedo needle had melted in the sun and was dragging against the backing. As a result it was stuck on 40km/h. I got the hair dryer out and remelted it back into shape.

I always liked the rear side window arrangement of the Terrano, looks like it's the right car for your purpose (Summer, lucky you - it's 8 degrees, raining all day and getting dark at 4.30pm here images/smilies/thumbdown.gif )

Oh, and if I may ask - how cheap was it exactly?

wow... the Exterior of the car does not look 1988 at all, looks like mid-late 90's, and I think 88's Pathfinders go from abt 2-4k AUD, or 1.5-3k USD

Have fun with it Magnet, although I don't like summers images/smilies/tongue.gif

Yeah, I bought it for 3k. It's a pretty good price for what it is. I plan on selling it at the end of summer anyway.images/smilies/cool.gif

Looks like massive amounts of fun, very clean for a car that's almost as old as I am! My neighbor has 2 in varying stages of decomposition, and they're definitely cool trucks. 8)

Yeah, seriously. You could strap some spotlights on there and light up Yankee Stadium.

That's actually a roo-bar, they were designed to be lighter and still able to sustain the force of a roo hitting the car.images/smilies/smile.gif

But yes, I agree it is ugly and I was considering removing it. However, I've just noticed it's great for seeing where your car ends form the driver's seat. Perfect for those tight situations.

Nice pics images/smilies/smile.gif

That looks like the perfect terrain to do some 4X4'ing in. Theres something very attractive about the isolation of the bush, by which I mean WA. There really is nothing in that state apart from Perth.

Too right about isolation. I almost got lost in the hills after driving down ever narrowing dirt roads for two hours. images/smilies/mellow.gif Maps only show you so much. Good fun terrain to go exploring in though.

Cool pics Magnet, and images/smilies/thumbup.gif for using the Terrano for the purpose that it's built for as well!

She's gone. Drove away about 5 minutes ago. I had advertised it for a while, but had zero calls.

I dropped the price this weekend; a guy rang me in the morning, came to have a look, drove it, was happy, forked over the cash, and drove away with it 20 minutes later.

It is a sad day, but I certainly got my money's worth out of the car. I'm looking forward to selling the Magna next, and hopefully getting something else.

A Liberty GT perhaps?
