Looks too good to be true. I would start by checking the price against Kelly Blue Book. I'm not a Nissan aficionado so I can't tell the year just by looking at it, but it looks relatively new, which again makes me think something fishy might be going on. Possible flood damage perhaps? Looks like a crew cab, not a regular cab, so it could be a case of the owner not knowing what they have, or a simple mistake.

You can get a check engine code reader that works with an app on your phone, always helpful for checking logged codes that may have been cleared without being fixed.

Maybe some Nissan owners will chime in with some common issues for that model/year if any that you'll want to be aware of.

I would be leary of flood vehicles right now.

Got a trusted mechanic? Ask to drive it and take to your mechanic for a "once over".
Yeah - you need a title - a CLEAR one!!!!
Ask if the owner has a maintenance record - oil changes, new tires and other work done.
(I keep all receipts and have been able to sell a truck with no problems because it's a record of how the vehicle has been treated and maintained.)
How about an owner's manual? I'm always leery of used vehicles and generally will not buy one with no maintenance record, owner's manual - unless inspected well by a mechanic.
Got burned - BAD - several years ago and learned my lesson well.

I had a frontier xe for a few years. It was a good truck overall. The biggest problem and it seems pretty common is the front radiator support rusts out and it's a job to replace. This one looks to be between 1998 and 2004. Could tell easier by looking at the front. It also looks like a short bed, which won't hold much. The biggest thing I'd be leary of is that is most definitely not a picture of a regular cab truck. Make sure they aren't trying to pull a fast one on you. Depending on year they might be a little over book value.

I'm thinking you made a good decision.

Stay away from Nissan unless you have lots of money to spend on repairs.
