- Jeep Wranglers and Toyota 4Runners are hugely popular out here in Colorado - and that makes even well-used examples an expensive proposition. But what about something the Nissan Xterra, that's been out of production for a few years? It may take some patience, as Angel found when he landed on this one-owner example from 2007, but it's definitely worth it when you consider the bottom line.

This guy is 17 years old? He's honestly way more informed and well-versed than most other people in his age range when it comes to car knowledge. Good on him, I hope his Xterra lasts a life time :)
Lol this guy is 34 years old
I think he was 17 when he bout it, so probably 19-20 at the time of the video
Just hit 305k miles. Original owner w/original engine and tranny. Not babied either. I off-road almost every weekend in CO and the X has lived in PA, TX and CO since I bought in in 2006. Just an amazing rig. Thanks for giving her some love in the spot light!
My gen 1 had 330 when I turned it over to my nephew . It got me up and down the ALCAN highway 3 times and lived in Alaska 5 years while I was stationed at wainwright .
Nice! That’s on my bucket list!
Wow don’t hear that often. Awesome to hear that though so underrated!
Bro u still off-road am in Co let's get some trails
I love how people are finally realizing the value of these 6 years after the end of production.
Hopefully that means that Nissan will bring them back into production. I've loved 2 of them and recently traded my 2012 in for a Frontier because there was no Xterra to replace mine. I'm hoping with the increased popularity of the SUVs like the new Bronco, 4Runner and such that Nissan will see that this is a prime time to bring this back.
Haaaa! I know everybody is late to this party. I have had 2 X's over the last 17 years. Really nothing out there this capable anywhere near the pricepoint.
@@erikamartin6234 Like everything else, nobody cares about them when they were new.
No joke . I've had both a gen 1 and a gen 2 . Both are good , capable , reliable vehicles .
2006 Off Road here. Xterras are kinda like the best kept secret, which has helped keep prices down. So capable and under appreciated. Love love love mine.
Thanks for giving the Xterra some love!
FINALLY, THESE ARE SO UNDER APPRECIATED. NOW THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THEM, I CAN SELL MINE FOR A PROFIT. HA!
In Vegas too? Details?
they're not really under appreciated they're simply non existent. i looked for two months back in fall of 2017 and could not find a single manual xterra or v6 4wd frontier in any condition. I really wanted an xterra but ended up spending a lot more on a 2015 taco.

Stop yelling
HA!
I have a 07 Xterra I bought 2 years ago from original owner with 76k miles on it original yellow paint no rust.
For how much?
Most reliable ride I've ever had
Same here! I've had my 2015 Pro-4X for 3 years now and love it! Never had a single problem with it.
Prices are going through the roof. I just bought an Xterra last week. Pro-4X’s with less then 100k are going for $18-20k. Just make sure that your viewers know that any automatic Xterra’s from 2005-2009 will likely need a new transmission if the original radiator was never replaced.
Yeah, it kind of sucks. The good thing is the S models are a lot cheaper and more available.
Bought a 2012 Pro-4X with 76k miles for $15k. The deals are out there

This kid did a boss job on this Exterra! Way to go! Budget build that is bulletproof. Rare 6 spd to boot
I have a 2011 manual xterra with 100k miles. Absolutely love it.
3700... manual, and a locker... this dude hit jackpot.... nice !!!
Got it from family
Why would Nissan not bring this back I have no idea, they must hate money lol
They're too focused on the rogue and murano for some reason lmao. Maybe if Nissan would get their heads out of their butts. They shouldve brought it back with the new frontier thats coming.
I hear you. The thing is that the design was practically ageless, still looks cool now.
The new frontier looks promising for a new xterra. I doubt it but here’s hoping. I love my 08
@@jscott7432 even the Frontier, what does it compete with... it’s not gonna outsell almost ever other pickup truck... Xterra comeback would be exactly like bronco... maybe smart to wait few years after bronco cools down then announce it
At the moment, Nissan is in turmoil, scrambling for cash and trying to right their ship. We should be glad they even "redesigned" the Frontier and offering us a "new" Z. That said, if the coming Frontier does well, I think we could see a return of the Xterra.
In today's dollars the price would be *$37,782.* Not too bad considering the price of *what would be it's competition.*
Noadays they would add all the lane changing alerts and whatnot to make it to 50k... =/
I have a '12 Xterra Pro-4x with a 6 speed manual. Just got the suspension replaced with Old Man Emu...it has about 65k miles at the moment
He got a great deal! I’ve got a 2005 SE model at 205k miles and still runs strong. He definitely inspired some mods for me.
Nice! I also have a 2005 SE. Mine has 162K miles and is my daily driver. I love it for its simplicity, reliability and just how solid it feels.
My son is 13 and wants an Xterra as his first car in a few years- he loved this video. Thanks for sharing a video that us common folks can aspire to achieve.
Going to try to save my 2004 for my son, same age as yours! It will have over 300000 by then, but who cares, he wont be leaving town lol.... #mamabear #grrrr
Ive got a 05 6sp. 500,000 kms still going strong, engines all original .shes a keeper for sure.
Awesome seeing a teenager doing this, nice ride!
Awesome young man that is thinking about every penny he’s spending, a beautiful tasteful build. This was a good looking ride and he’s improved it awesome build!!!👍👍👍
I agree. I wish most 17 year olds today has this kind of character. He probably does not have a cell phone mounted in front of his face 24 hours a day. He can also drive a manual transmission.
I was surprised to hear he is 17. He seems very down to Earth. Good for him !
Love my xterra! Its v8 swapped and titan swapped! :)
i have a 4 cylinder x🥲
Dude I see you every where. Love your X.
Beautiful truck! Mine is exactly the same color, one year older but only 113k miles.. lifted and 33s on.. my third Xterra in Saskatchewan Canada.. I wish I wouldn't have sold the two before.. great video!
I have 220k with 4" lift ZERO issues. Been on several trips with a jeep gladiator rubicon and the xterra has been able to do just about all the gladiator can. Pretty awesome platform.
Around 10:05 -
Yes, the driver seat wear and tear on the Xterras is *very* common
imo it's probably the jumping in & out of the truck and likely the type of material used on the seats
Had on '05 i regretfully got rid of 7 years ago. I loved it so much...and miss it dearly. I'm currently about to purchase an '06 as i write this
Xterras are the bomb 😎✌🏽
Have a 2010 Xterra OR manual 6 speed that is still going strong in Colorado. Best vehicle Ive ever owned. Thanks for the review and sharing these ideas for easy mods!
As an Xterra owner, I love this video!!!
That's sick that you got such a great deal man, I got o e a few days ago for 14k but it's low miles and in great condition. Love it
I have a 2008 I bought for my son. 167k miles , new trans in 2018, needed new cats (very common) and a couple other small things. The truck is smooth, powerful and is almost entirely rust free. Ive debated getting rid of my Gladiator and buying like a 2012-15 pro 4x for myself.
People sleeping on the xterra. Its amazingly reliable and capable. Also its 4.0 makes the tacos 3.5 feel lethargic by comparison.
It’s only new tacos that have 3.5L v6
Older ones had 3.4L then went to 2.7L or 4.0L v6
Since Nissan update their Frontier with awesome design, I wish they could bring back the Xterra! (Proudly 2012 Xterra Pro-4x owner)
Bro these Nissan frontier/xterras are so badass. I'm so happy I picked up my Fronty Pro 4x!
That is a great find! 160K on that engine is nothing. That Nissan V6 is a reliable beast. Sucks gas, but ultra-reliable with great power. I am with you, Andre! I really wish Nissan would bring back the X-Terra with that new Frontier styling and frame as a starting point.
Sarah N Tuned & Watch JR go are both doing Xterra builds.
"Thats what she said "
1st gens
Full appreciation for a very nice ride that did not require a winning lottery ticket.
These were very capable truck from the start. Good foundation for your build.
As you get a few dollars ahead you can make changes as you want to. Good luck with your truck, well done. 👍
You got any storage system in the back?
Yes.
shows the net.. lol
Nissan has to bring back these awesome Offroader and with the new Frontier they have the perfect base for it. Didn´t know why they killed this so early (compared to the Frontier).
Basically the sales on them tanked. Other brands were putting out vehicles with better MPG and larger fuel tanks. Too bad. For the price, you couldn't beat these. I would love to see a new Xterra a year or two after the new Frontier launches.
Doesn't matter how cool a car is or how sought after it will be next year. If they aren't selling NOW they get the axe. Love the xterra, wish I could find a clean one and had room for it.
I love mine. I just bought it for 3,000. It’s not new by any means, but it’s really cool.
Got my 2012 for $6800 last year and ready to build it up. Miss my FJ Cruiser but we’ll see how the Xterra compares.
Any updates?
Nissan seriously ought to just pull out the old tooling and re-manufacture new X -Terra's. The high 20's to high 30 thousand price point is screaming for this truck. It's a youth magnet! Well done Angel. Very nice ride.
Why just “youth”? Imbecile.
The only manual transmission 2007 2008 xterras near me are $8,000.
Apparently I just need to get out of Indiana.
Haaaa. Must be nice. In Minnesota they go for around $15,000.
Paid $4950 for mine in Missouri
I hear you, assuming you can find them. No on Indiana, they are Rust buckets there
Y’all should see my frontier 😅. I’m happy their not popular, I’ve taken complete advantage of it and upgrade the whole think on the cheap.
I love mine. I just got my hands on a 2010 Xterra with 77k miles!
Just got mine for $1500. Single owner, 185k miles. However, I know the owner and he took care of it. The transmission was also replaced 10k miles ago.
Ppl gotta stop talking about xterras gonna become like the 4runner
Great buy and you will not be dissapointed. We love Nissans for offroading!!
I had an '06 Off Road edition for 13 years with no issues. It was also a six speed.
I replaced it with a '19 Frontier Pro 4X six speed.
I bought a 2015 Pro4X for the wifey. It's a great rig and the backseat has much better seating than the Frontier.
Angel seems like a sharp kid...
I bought an 06 4x4 last year for $2900. It had 203000 on it its now sitting at 242000 with no issues so far other then a window regulator. I hope to get 300k
Blows my mind they stopped making them, we had a 2008 4x4 manual new purchase, and we loved it...cool look and very capable. If they do bring it back, it'll probably come back as a bland bubble shaped cross over.
Im the second owner of my 2008 S 4x4. Come a long way though now. ARB front bumper, Hardcore rear bumper and tire carrier, 3 inch lift with wheels and 33 MTs. This summer, a VK56 (Titan V8) goes in. Driven desire is doing the swap. People dont realize how easy it is to mod these rigs and how durable they are.
Great review Andre. You guys should definitely buy a 2nd gen xterra pro 4x for the channel and modify it. It's much better than the FJ cruiser
This kid did an awesome job - kudos to him! I would absolutely love to own this rig. I still have my 2006 OR in the same silver as this one, running DuraTracs. I preemptively changed the rad out, did the rear transmission vent line hack, and it still runs great with no timing chain issues thus far. Only thing is that the terrible salt in Ontario has given it some bad underbody rust. If/when it eventually dies, I'll be looking for a 2014/2015 Pro X as a replacement. I love how nimble it is, and the engine has good low end gusto. I don't need electronic frills of any kind to drive.
I have a 2001 Nissan Xterra with 187k miles and she still runs like a top.
I just bought one for 900 180k miles, but I need to change the exhaust system now
I'm actually looking for one of these right now. The 4x pro holds its value like crazy
Way to represent the X crowd!! Avid 6speed V8 Xterra owner here.
@DevilDog53 Nissan VK56 from Titan/Armada
@DevilDog53 no it comes in the Pathfinder and it had been done many times before me.
Fixing it up, modifying and maintaining a high mileage rig is part of the adventure.
Here for the XTerra
The seat wear must be common. My Frontier has similar damage. Still, that is an amazing buy for the price, especially an off road version with a factory rear locker.
Only real issue to watch with an Xterra or Frontier was prior to 2011 there was a problem with the radiator that would let the coolant and transmission fluid mix (SMOD). This only affects the automatics, though. Bypassing the transmission heat exchanger in the radiator is the simple fix, or replace the radiator with the newer part to fix the problem (Nissan part 21460-9CA0E). They still have an oil to air cooler for the automatic transmission in front of the air conditioning condenser behind the grill. The 5 speed automatic is built well, it's the same transmission behind the 5.6 L V8 in the Armada, Pathfinder and Titan, but water in any transmission will destroy it. Of course this Xterra is not affected because it is a 6 speed.
The 4.0L engine is the biggest of the Nissan VQ series, which has accumulated 15 Ward's 10 best engines awards over the years. I think the engine is the highlight of these vehicles. It's not the most efficient, but it makes great torque - perfect for a truck. I have stock 3.36 gears in my Frontier and with 33 inch offroad tires I never feel like it is under powered. It's not my daily driver so the fuel efficiency doesn't bother me. It gets 18 MPG on the highway with 33" tires, a lift and the front air dam removed - none of which help MPG.
I hope Nissan takes the new Frontier and builds a new Xterra with that platform.
I came to my XTerra the same way. I was looking at 4Runners, but the price was more than I wanted to spend for those miles. Found my 2015 Pro 4X with 86k miles and I love this SUV. It is definitely a slept on SUV. The only downside is the aftermarket support. While you can find almost everything you need as far as upgrades, there are fewer companies that make them compared to Jeeps and Tacomas/4Runners so they tend to be expensive. The biggest issue to watch for in pre-2011s is with SMOD issues where the faulty radiator leaked into the automatic transmission creating the 'strawberry milkshake of death' and eventually grenading the transmission.
Again another cool video and a cool truck. Nice job TFL and that young man! Very tastefully modded!
Got my one owner 2012 all stock pro 4x in November of 2019. It had 80,000 and had been wrapped up in probate court for two years. Couldn't be happier.
07 xterra owner since 2010. STILL in love. flirted with trading in for a more gas efficient rig in 2022.... when they offered me 2k for my Xterra S with 115k miles i said nah its worth more to me and just saved up extra to buy new audi q5e and keep xterra as well
Tow hooks don’t work right unless there red!! Lol very cool ride! 👍🏿 good job,love that he went with the Milestar’s love those!
Keep the manuals alive!
Great video ! and awesome and amazing truck build he got !! I hope my Xterra one day will look like that.. I got it not so long ago .. and now I am working on it.. fixing it , making it better little by little )) it will be a long journey but its a fun one. Who knows maybe on day I get my truck on your channel too lol for now.. I just film what I can do what I can fix and upgrade
I had 2 Xterras and would get another if still offered. Worse decision Nissan made was taking them out of the product lineup and changing their Pathfinder into a crossover type of vehicle.
No people are going to know now how good they are
Great buy! I have a 2015 Pro-4X and it's the best SUV I've ever owned.
That front bumper is dope!
That’s a clean rig. Nice job with the mods too. Well done.
I just bought one for $5900 and it has 170k miles. I'm not the best at picking out deals... oh well I hope it proves to be a good deal

What a badass Xterra! I just bought mine in 9/20. I live in Colorado also.
I got a 6 speed manual in mine as well. Couldn't drive anything else. Exact same color. It's called Silver Lightning. I'm lovin' it so far.
I wanna turn her into one just like this. This video is very inspiring.
Also, my driver side seat has the exact same tear on the exact same spot. Lolol!
Do you happen to know the Facebook group this guy belongs to? I'd like to join it to chat with fellow Xterra owners.
I just got an Xterra for free ! 160,000 miles and in great shape … dark blue ..An old lady just gave it to my wife and I. I’m still shocked beyond words…. I absolutely love it
My 07 still running great at $222k. Keep an eye (or ear) on the aux timing chain issue. Mine are still ok but eventually will change those tensioners out...
The driver’s seat problem is a common one. Mine had the same issue. I miss it, bought it new in 2006 and kept it 12 years before I had to sell it. Loved the six speed, and that VQ40 pulled really hard. I surprised plenty of wannabe racers in their Civics and Accords with that thing 😂
My 2014 pro4x 6m only has 52,000 on the ticker . I get lots of offers and buisness cards under the wipers . My gen 1 rolled to 330,000 before i gave it to my nephew . Xterras are solid and if you get a manual there isnt alot to worry about .
I hand stitched my seat and came out awesome 👍🏻
He got a deal. I paid $3,700 for an 87 Jeep Cherokee back in 1996. He won’t be able to find another deal like that. Good for him.
Love my 2010 off-road. It has been very reliable for several years.
10:20 ABSOLUTYLE YES the tear in the driver seat is very common and can be found in all xterras found in the wild

I bought a 2000 Xterra for 800 bucks a few years back. It has 227,000 miles and so far I've only had to do a valve job, head gaskets, timing belt, water pump, rear springs, shocks, tires, Injectors twice (Thanks Ebay), MAF sensor, front and rear brakes, Heater fan resistor, Radiator, Transmission rebuild ( Thanks to Trans cooler being in the radiator and cracking filling trans with coolant), Battery, alternator, (1) exhaust manifold, complete exhaust including convertors from manifolds to rear bumper, O2 sensors.... all true stuff, my wife asks why I throw money at a piece of crap and I show her the title....... SOOO all in all not a bad winter beater over 4000 dollars later. She's a gem... LOL FYI. I do my own work otherwise i would have burned her to the ground long ago if i had to pay a shop LOL I'm joking I love it and can't part with it.
Been driving my xterra for 10 years now.
I love the Xterra. Sold my 2006 at 198000 miles and not a single issue with it ever. It's a beast. I regret selling it and looking for another one but they are going up andbup in price. For the worn seat, here's my tio, keep the damn side steps on, step on it when you enter or exit, grab hold of the handle bar on the A pillar and lift your butt into the seat, no problem. Didn't have a worn seat when I did that.

Nice rig. I have a 2012 Xterra PRO4x 6 speed manual. Love it
These cars are amazing really, myself drive a 2010 pathfinder, used to own 06 pathfinder too, I think this VQ40DE is the more powerful v6 than any other rivals, (correct me if Im wrong), and the only concerns are: 1. recovery hooks have only 2 bolts on the frame, have seen several of them got pulled out during recovery. 2. need additional skid plate in the front to protect radiator.
there is a trick to show all the stats of the car during offroading which is really useful, I keep the coolant temp. on display during sand offroad at all time. PS: I live in UAE, current desert temp is 47C in the mid day and afternoon.

I just bought a 2002 from the original owner out of Virginia with 100,000 miles on it five speed manual six-cylinder four-wheel-drive. I paid $4400. There’s not a single speck of rust anywhere on the truck. Excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. I just did a timing belt and water pump the other day.
i love it man, 6 speed manual and it looks good
I bought a mint 2002 xterra 3 month ago. Completely stock, and according to the carfax it stayed in the same family since new. The 3.3l V6 is very slow, and sucks up gas. But it's reliable.

1 owner was a police officer vehicle. I have plans to upgrade the suspension to Titan conversion. Love my Xterra
That Xterra is tops, but did I miss something,, where's the trailer hitch receiver? He's done nice mods to his Xterra and I think he's in for some nice off-roading soon.
When I bought my Frontier in 2010, my wife wanted an Xterra but found that it was a tad too tall for entry and exit so she decided that she wanted a lower vehicle.
So we looked at the 'little brother' of this Xterra, the XTrail. She absolutely loved that one.
We started to do more road trips, and soon found that the 4 litre V6 with automatic trans. of the Frontier was just too thirsty. This is why I've been waiting all these long years for something
new from Frontier, and now its on the way. We will see!

My 2011 Pro-4x was crashed to death in December last year by an old guy on the freeway that parked sideways across the HOV lane. I miss it every day. OME LIft, ARB dressings, etc.
That sucks, sorry to hear that. It's tough when you pour time, money, and passion into something and It's taken away in a blink of an eye. That's definitely a real possibility as an enthusiast especially for those who offroad.
We love our Xterra! We also have a 6spd manual. Have been overlanding full-time in it for over a year now. Driven to 40/50 states, driven over 60k miles. The odometer is almost at 200k! They’re amazing vehicles!
