I am the 3rd owner of this vehicle. In mid-year 2000, my dad bought this Pathfinder from the priest at our church for $1500. Apparently he forgot to close the rear passenger side door and reversed out of the garage bending the door forward. I bought a another door for $200 shipped and had it painted for an additional $100. This was a completely stock 2-wheel drive XE with power accessories with 98,000 miles on the odometer. There were a lot of problems with the vehicle which i disliked a lot. My plans were to sell it and get a car that got way better gas mileage. I came about 4x4parts.com trying to get help to fix the problems to get more out if I were to sell it. Fixing one problem after another, I became attached to the Pathfinder and kept it. Repairs and modifications to the Pathfinder continue to this day.
