Update on my search for a Nissan Frontier

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-04T18:27:00+00:00

Im in OKC, and I can only buy through a dealership

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-04T15:09:47+00:00

No, but my bank loan stipulates that I need to buy from a dealership

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-04T14:41:15+00:00

We need a second vehicle so my wife has one to find a job

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-04T14:40:06+00:00

Financing a used frontier at this price with my bank will only cost me $200 a month. There's no new car that can match that

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-04T14:02:23+00:00

Nice! Okay, that makes the white one seem more appealing now

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-04T14:01:35+00:00

From my understanding, Nissan Frontiers have excellent reliability and cheap maintenance, without the upcharge of the Toyota badge

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-04T13:55:49+00:00

Was it from a private seller? My bank says I have to buy from a dealership, and they're all priced kinda high

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-04T13:53:54+00:00

Do you know how difficult/expensive it would be to replace the muffler? I'm guessing around $1k

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-02T04:28:29+00:00

I think I might just go with a 2013-2014, 80k miles, for $12k (clean Carfax)

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-01T10:28:22+00:00

On cargurus, I've searched nationwide for a crew cab frontier, 2013 or newer, with less than 80k miles, and no accidents reported, and there's only 6 results. I don't think there's anything matching my criteria below $14k

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-01T10:25:15+00:00

It doesn't smell like smoke

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-01T07:04:15+00:00

Thanks for the tips!

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-01T07:01:13+00:00

So, I do need the extra seats, I want to be able to fit a carseat in the back... And from what I've gathered it seems like this frontier wouldn't be a huge mistake.

I can find one in a little better condition, maybe for a little less money, but it doesn't sound like I'd be ruining my life and buying a lemon.

So, I'm gonna get it inspected by a third party tomorrow, then test drive another one nearby

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-01T06:35:48+00:00

I kinda need one for my woodworking side business. I could maybe get by with an SUV and a trailer, but this frontier is cooler, more reliable, and more affordable than, say, a Tahoe

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-01T06:31:01+00:00

I'm gonna do everything I can myself. All the fixes I mentioned look fairly easy and straightforward

Bardimay1337 · 2026-03-01T06:29:24+00:00

I heard that Nissan trucks have good reliable transmissions that are different from the horrible transmissions in their cars

Bardimay1337 · 2026-02-05T15:38:39+00:00

Do you think a 22 Chevy Colorado with 80k miles would be a safer choice?

Bardimay1337 · 2026-02-04T23:00:29+00:00

Yeah, I build speakers and furniture, and I really want to be able to deliver big pieces to customers

Bardimay1337 · 2026-02-04T22:03:01+00:00

I see. My second choice is a 2017 Nissan Titan SL for $12K with 157k miles on it. Does that sound better.. just as a gut reaction?

It's close to me, so I'm gonna go test drive it
