I just bought an 08 Armada for around 10k from a local Nissan dealership in Phoenix. It had 1 owner, and is pretty clean considering it has high miles.
I joined this site so I have somewhere to search when looking into parts, troubleshooting issues, or learning about these tanks.
I bought this because I take cross country road trips with the wife and kids every year, and the sentra is getting too small as the kids get bigger. I was looking at 08-12 Pathfinders, but I noticed they cost more than Armadas. Ive owned only nissans since 2006, so I feel comfortable sticking to them. My 06 spec-v I bought new, built and installed a turbo kit, drove it a few more years, and sold it. I raced and beat that car. It handled the turbo with stock internals and stock clutch. Never had one issue in my 7 years of ownership. I did all the work, including the tuning on my own. I bought my wife a 2012 se-r new in 2011. We drove coast to coast twice, plus many small road trips. She drives the kids around everyday. It has 60k on it and never broke down. I bought my 04 Frontier when I sold my spec-v 2 years ago with 140k miles. I haven't had to put one penny into repairs. I'm selling it now because we bought the Armada.
That is why I stuck with Nissan. I really hope the Armada is as good to me as my other Nissans. Right now I need to find the best choice for a cold air intake and catback exhaust. I also want to look into headers. I'd like to go catless all the way back, but need to look into preventing throwing a code. On my sentra, my exhaust was 3" from the turbo back with no cats. I put a spacer on the 2nd o2 sensor, so the light stayed off. If that trick works with the truck, Ill use o2 spacers. If not, i'll leave it alone and just do a catback system. I'll look into other little things that might make it quicker and somewhat fun to drive.
