Greetings all!
I'll preface my post with this...
I currently own a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and have been a Jeep guy since I can remember. However, due to recent financial restrains, my beloved JKU's payments may become a bit much. In order to ease the budgetary strain, I am looking at all courses of action. The best course of action maybe to trade in my JKU for something a bit cheaper that will drastically reduce or have no payments.
My 14 JKU has 76k on it and is worth about 24k to 26k and I still owe about 15k on it. So I figure I have about 10k worth of a trade (that may be a gross overestimate but not sure). I have always admired the Xterra and am seriously considering one. I have seen them hold their own on the trail and I have always liked the looks of them. That's about all I know of them, while I have extension knowledge of just about any Jeep platform I have no knowledge of the Xterra. This is where I'm hoping you all will help me out.
What are some things to look out for?
What are the desirable options?
What kind of reliability could I expect?
Are there certain years to stay away from?
And so on...
I am your average shade tree mechanic and am not afraid to get my hands dirty when it comes to anything with an engine and wheels.
Any input you all could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
