sold my 99 with 214k miles broken: ac/ heat, snapped front drive shaft, dings dents, peling tint and leaking rear end and squeaking front end for $4500 so i vote they keep good value!!! as for this year mine was a 1999 beat to hell and back and stated every day and drove me to work across the state through the wods and into the mud with the 4x4 etc...only problems are the coils go bad and are expensive (about $100 each) x8 if the v8....also they are knows for (as well as explorer and lincoln) the front busings to go out causing it to squeak like crazy. otherwise mine has no "common" problems that i can remember mist of my problems were because t was a 2nd vehicle to me and i drove it through 4ft of mud framed it out and climed rocky trrrain etc so i didnt care if i beat it. i liked it so much i traded in my altima for a 05 f150 supercrew and used the 4k from the truck towards the new one.
