In this video, I accidentally bought a sweet Japanese SUV at the auction for dirt cheap. I honestly can't believe this sold for so little!

I specialize in Nissan pathfinders, Xterras, frontiers, and titans. They are known for strawberry milkshake of death. The trans cooler in the radiator cracks and sends coolant to the trans. Check to see if it has the original radiator and replace it asap if it is. Cam and crankshaft sensors are common issues replace all 3 if you get a code for 1. Hitachi sensors only, the plastic coolant fitting at the heater hoses get extremely brittle and like to break off. 05-10 the timing chain guides fail you will here a whine when it happens at 200k I bet the have been done before. Pretty solid otherwise. Fun fact the Nissan Titan 5.6 v8 engine and trans drops right it using factory motor mounts. They did make v8 pathfinders from 08-12 but made less than 10 thousand of them If I remember right. I swap the v8's into Xterras all the time.

As a former Nissan guy, the 2005 has a a major defect. The automatic transmission fluid and the coolant were mixing. There was a recall and a majority of them were fixed but like any recall, you have some people that didn't get it fixed.

Also, the differential, transfer case, and transmissions on those were Rock solid. I would put those up against any toyota, because I'm a Toyota guy now.

I think that patch in the roof liner is where and aftermarket movie screen used to be

The flip down seat was in my 2004 Grand Prix, You can fold the back seat down, flatten the from passenger seat and it's flat from the back of the trunk to the dash. Good for carrying lumber!

I’ve been really into cheap old practical cars lately. Something about getting something dirt cheap that would have been beat to death and refreshing the suspension, brakes, fluids, and giving it a good detail is so satisfying. They tend to be the least troublesome and easy to work on too. The only problem is finding one that isn’t rusted apart here in MN. I’ve been eyeing up older CRVs, 4Runners, OBS chevys for winter cars of my own. Maybe this pathfinder story will push me over the edge.

More than likely has a Milk Shake brewing in the Radiator. Probably has leaking Valve Cover gaskets. That's usually what triggers the Crank and Cam Postion sensor codes. Oil leaks down the back of the block and coats the sensors.

I bought an 08’ Pathfinder with 150k as my first car. I sold it with 180k. It’s still driving around town. I currently have a 05’ Xterra with 210k. They have their quirks. (Major quirks) SMOD can be fixed with radiator bypass or replacement of radiator. Replace the cam and crank sensors with Hitatchi’s. Timing chain tensioners are a hit or miss, not all will suffer from it, but you’ll know it’s a problem when it sounds like a supercharger. The heater core hose on the passenger side likes to break, replace both with aluminum fittings. The R180 front diffs aren’t the most robust, as they had a tendency to destroy the spider gears under severe and un-severe (they aren’t robust like said) the engines and transmissions are stout. The chassis are pretty stout too. You’ll hear people overseas talk about the frame splitting, but that’s because of rust. They’re solid trucks if you know what to look for. Oh the cats are very common to fail on these too. Don’t wait too long or the cat particles will get sucked back into the engine, and rendering it useless. That’s if they’re severely clogged.

That Copart worker was very respectful

10:27 The patch on the Ceiling was where a DVD entertainment system was installed. (Loaded top-of-line w/ every option except Nav: brochure is on-line)
For someone to make such a patch when they removed the DVD, is an indicator of a well maintained car.

"Accidentally bought a car at auction" is Alex trying to explain himself to the wife 😅😅

Ok what's it gonna take to go car shopping with you dude...I feel it would be the best time ever man

The first gen Pontiac Vibe passenger seat folds down flat. You can put 8' long materials in the Vibe. It's only has a 1.8, and very slow, but it's a great car.

18:55 The Caddy 4.9L V8 (together with its transmission) is a common swap for Fieros because it's the most plug-n-play of all the V8s.

Love this video. Thanks for taking us along to look at your list. You can perfectly see why we love to watch you, man. Sucha genuine passion for this and we love seeing you fix these cars up.
As much as I love other channels who "work on cars" you make it so much better. Real guy fixing real cars. Not some dude buying a lambo and getting a shop to put an exhaust on it for them. This is real car guy stuff.

I would say that Mustang has a blown head gasket. That's dried coolant around the reservoir, which has been pushed out due to the compression in the cooling system.

My ‘05 Pathfinder LE has 210k miles on it, still running strong! This is now my new favorite episode! Good buy, amigo!! I may be in the minority here, but give us some content on this one!
