Honestly wtf? Back when I was in the market I was looking at a sc xterra, same year with 5k more miles... 14k. Nothing in the ad hints at any major problem? Just an amazing deal? Wish this was up for sale when I was looking

amazing?? its an automatic, bright orange, has cloth seats, and two wheel drive. Supercharged or not, that thing is as useless at tits on a boar when it comes to offroad. I wouldn't pay any more than $3500 for it, even if i loved the color.

For $7 grand, you can get a loaded 01-04 QX4 with 4wd, leather heater seats, wood grain and all the options, and still go places where the 2wd xterra would fail. For some reason, theres high demand for Nissan and very little demand for Infiniti. So the Infinitis are cheaper.

It really has little to do with demand, luxury cars simply do not hold value because the leap in technology between model years is so high. Cheaper cars like the Pathfinder have much less in the way of creature comforts to begin with - and even though the LE has pretty much everything the Qx4 has, it doesn't have the Infiniti badge. In general you subtract 50% of the value of a luxury car within the first year, regardless of usage or condition. BMW is a great example of this; a excellent condition 1998 740 iL can be purchased for 8,000 dollars, even with low miles they don't go over 10k, and they were a 60 thousand dollar car at the time. My friend in high school bought one for under 8k that was a chauffeured car and it was nicer than most new cars - feet rests, cigar lighter, amazingly comfortable seats, etc. You compare it to the new 7 series and it's like a toy, even though the older model looks hella better.

Back on topic: Why the hell would you ever buy a 2wd suv?

well yeah the BMW and mercedes are the worst in resale value

mercedes cl500 $100k new $12k-15k for a 01
Acura NSX $70k new $40-50k for an 01


also, i dont know whats up with the brand name thing. A pathfinder with all the options will cost several thousand more, than a QX4 of the same mileage and year. And its the same exact car, same suspension, etc... thats like a camry costing more than a GS400 - doesnt make sense!!!!!!!!

[Ubel Feuer]

Badge is everything, it's just a arbitrary market difference and is based on what consumers are willing to pay.

That supercharger is the only thing it has going for it.
