Some of you know about my Xterra's transmission suddenly going bad.

Finally got around to putting it on Craigslist "as is". I bought it new in 2006 at the local Nissan dealer and has 110,000 miles in 11 years since I work from home and so don't have a daily commute. Tows really well and a great vehicle for regatta trips, which is where most of the miles come from.

Just thought I'd put it here in case we have any mechanics or 4x4 enthusiasts who'd want a project.

You should add interior pics as well. I have purchased a couple cars off of craigslist, and that is what really shows the difference between a well kept car and one that has been ragged out.

If the interior is still nice, you should have no problem selling it to someone who just wants to replace the transmission and radiator and have a nice low mileage Xterra.

Sorry to hear of your problem... Looks like a great car... If I was close by that thing would be up on jack-stands getting a new "tranny", cooling system, and a tune up while at it... Someone is going to get a good deal.

Thanks for the reminder, I had planned to but just forgot to add them.

Updated the ad with interiors. I had forgotten to mention it has the optional fold-down front seat, which really comes in handy when transporting a rolled up mainsail or boom.
