Nice, I picked up a late model '05... pretty discounted because the '06 models were on the lots. I couldn't swing the off road, but got the S trim in an auto 4x4. Nothing really special beyond my fancy floor mats, oem steps, a set of mats.com window visors, window tint, autodim rearview with homelink, compass, and temp. I also bought OEM lighted visors, but the light is soooo cheesy it is rediculous. It is also equipped with a CompuStar Pro 2W9000FMR (fancy remote starter). Had it for almost exactly 2 years and 26K miles now, only changed the oil on it and it is perfect... really a capable 4x4 that is easy enough for my wife to drive.

Be a little more respectful in the future and not sound like a complete a**hole.

OK butt dart, lol I crack myself up. What about the guy who works on a Construction Site in Cali or on a Landfill? Would you daily drive the Z on a Construction Site, come on man admit it it was a stupid comment just to get your post count up, its ok.

Nice! I'd love to sell my 01 Xterra and get an 05+ 4.0 v6 FTW!

But the 01 Xterra is my "beater" It only has 60k miles and is in great shape, but I don't give a crap if it gets dinged or scratched. It's the one car I can drive and not worry about dings, scratches, rock chips, miles, and snow/salt/sand (when I go up to Tahoe)....

If I bought a newer one, I might care!

I dd the z tho - only 1.5 miles to work...
