I would recommend looking further - $8k is a lot of money and that sounds like a shitty deal. Even if you insist on a Canyon/Colorado (which I recommend against), $8k should go a heck of a lot farther than that. I'm biased of course, but the Frontier is a great truck - the early 2000s models are pretty bulletproof, just have a timing belt to keep track of maintaining. Stay away from supercharged without good maintenance history. Those trucks were the last VG engine in production (the first introduced in the 80s) so they had the bugs pretty well worked out. The newer ones with the 4.0l engine are absolute hosses. If I was to buy a truck with $8k, I'd track one down. If you do get one, PM me and I'll go over the modifications you need to do to make it last forever. If I didn't have my Nissan bias, I'd be on a Tacoma like white on rice. I think they look better, I just know the Nissan inside and out.
