Welcome.
I bought a 97 QX4, similar mileage, similar price, a couple of months ago. I've been very happy with it so far. Sounds like you got the dealer-recommended tune-up for 100k miles like mine did. They probably replaced the water pump while in there.
As far as I can tell there is little to no difference, mechanically, between the QX4 and the Pathfinder LE 4x4. I believe that parts are interchangeable for the most part. That said, I have been frustrated by the extremely thin aftermarket for these vehicles.
Read up on NPM's Project Pathfinder. Although theirs is an older Pathy with the 3L engine and different chasis (so the parts they use don't necessarily fit our vehicles), it is an excellent source of information.
