Possible Purchase

[Christy0880]

We are looking into purchasing a 2007 or 2008 QX56 and was wondering about any possible problems people may have had once they get into the higher mileages... Some we are looking at are over 75k. We have had VERY poor luck with a 2006 Saab 9-7x (engine blew at 69k miles, lost the transfer case at 80k and none was due to aggressive driving) and I don't want to run into the same kind of problems with a new to us vehicle...

QX more reliable than Euro's

Christy, I think the QX is way more reliable(if it hasn't been abused) than a quirky little Euro sedan. QX is built on a strong truck frame, and the Japanese are really good at reliability and electronics. But things can happen, see if you can call the previous owner and find out as much history on it as you can. Have someone you trust look it over real close.
Good luck with your decision,
parrott

We have had a 2005, 2010 and now a 2012. Been happy with all of them.
