If you can do your own wrenching and can negotiate another $1000 or so off, it's not a bad buy. Mileage is one thing, but age is also a big factor in the way a vehicle wears. That's clearly reflected in the condition of the interior. 250k on a properly maintained engine doesn't mean you need to replace it... pay a few hundred for a pre-purchase inspection and ask them to check for oil leaks and shine a flash light through the oil filler to see if there's any heavy varnish on the head. If it's clean, that's a good indicator that they performed regular oil changes. Spend $1000 or so to perform all the standard maintenance and you have yourself a good, inexpensive pickup truck in an otherwise insanely expensive vehicle market.

It could be a great deal…. but my hang up would be “fleet vehicle” status, especially if it was truly a fleet vehicle that was driven by multiple people instead of assigned to one driver. I’ve seen how people treat vehicles that are company owned.

That doesn’t mean it’s a bad vehicle or been run into the ground, but it’s way more likely to have lived a hard 250,000 miles than a private owner vehicle. Just something else to consider.

Let us know what you decide.

And on the flip side, I've always seen a lot of company driven vehicles driven as slow as molasses on a cold day. There's just something about following the speed limit that happens when companies can track you, and when you're on the company clock that makes everyone adhere to speed limits.

Also a valid point as long as there is actually a tracker. If the only thing is a “How’s My Driving?” sticker then that generally isn’t much of a deterrent.

Now if the driver is hourly and the rates includes drive time, then slow is definitely better

I’ve owned many trucks but never a Nissan, Titan or Nissan anything. This truck is a 1-owner Fleet truck that has been taken out of fleet service recently.
5.6L gas 4x4 SV. With blind spot monitoring, reverse cam, front/rear parking sensors, dual zone climate control, paint matched bumpers with fog lights. A pretty heavily Optioned SV trim.
I am absolutely Astonished that someone put 252,000 miles on a truck that less than 5-years old.
Listed price is $9500 bucks. Should I buy it? OR would any of you consider buying it with that high of miles.
I need to make a decision within the next 48 hours.

Hi Eric,
I would like to just put a positive spin on your potwntial purchase. I owned a 2007 Titan for 10 years and traded it in at 185k miles for a 2017. Yea, your mileage
might be high but I would take either the 2007 or 2017 back in a heartbeat. I just purchased a 2021 Pro4X and love it but this go green gas pedal delay thing has got me really missing my old trucks!! You can't go wrong with an older model Titan!!

 

[aaronsdetail]

I wouldn’t touch it. Let alone being so far away you have no idea how the dealer is representing it

Pedal commander has done wonders for multiple members on here (@Clint ) Definitely eliminated any “issues” I had with the gas pedal…

Why so few pictures and none of the odometer or all sides of the vehicle?

My scam antennae are up since they’re requesting a deposit and giving you 48 hours. It’s a nice idea but not worth the risk owing to distance and mileage.

Hell they could jack up the price with bogus fees knowing you bought a one way ticket.

That begs another question… you’re going drive it home or do you own a flatbed?

My brothers Titan first generation he kept to a little over 320,000 miles with only one problem...he replaced an alternator...that was it.

Don't do it!!

 

[Bluedevils16]

So I did a similar scenario to this. I drove to buy my 06 and it wasnt distance far but it was time wise with traffic because of it being around DC. I asked the owner if I would pay for it to be inspected by a shop, I actually paid for three. One was Firestone complete auto care, another was midas, and the last was a Nissan dealer. These were close to him. But all gave a little bit different answers and cost no more than $150, for the most expensive. In the end all were fairly minor things besides exhaust manifolds which everyone knows about. I have enjoyed my 06 for years now and was glad I got second and third opinions, especially, from third party businesses with nothing to lose.

the only killer is how far away it is from you. what was decided?

OK, this is an old thread, but I had to laugh when I saw the pix of this high mileage Titan for sale, because I recognized it right away with that ugly canopy... it's still for sale in the Seattle / Tacoma area, but they're now asking $14,950 for it! Not sure if it's the same dealer (you can find that ad on autorader if you're interested).

Twenty-one oil changes means that they changed the oil about every 11,989.2380952381 miles.... Seems legit to me...

 

[busemans]

and the one outside pics i see shows it looks decent, still. (actually pretty good)

 

[KenedyTXTitan]

I almost want to buy the damn thing so our curiosity will be satisfied!!!

Anyone have a carfax subscription so they can run the vin??

 

[Warhammer]

They'd probably have better luck selling it if the removed that butt ugly canopy. It just screams, "this truck was worked hard!"
