#1398 of 2255 2004 or 2003 Rodeo Feedback by tta51 Jun 21, 2004 (7:32 pm)
I'm looking into purchasing a 2004 Rodeo. Just basic RWD and Preferred Equipment Package 2WD, This basic class of transportation that I'm in the market to buy. Pricing is very attractive. Can you please post your pros and cons as an owner of a Rodeo?   In addition, when is the 2005 available to the market (August)? A sales man told in somewhere in October to November. I don't believe him.   Finally, do you think that Isuzu can offer better than the $6500 that is being offer at this point as they approach closer to 2005 model coming into the market?

Is notorious for being late. IIRC a few years back they didn't hit dealers til Dec or Jan.   It all depends how quickly the 04s sell out before the 05s will be released from the storage facilities.   -mike

You will want to read this article. Found the pointer in the "Isuzu pulling out of Canada? Maybe the US too" discussion. http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2004-04-20-isuzu_x.htm   Rodeo production stops July 23rd.   There will ONLY be the Ascender 5 & 7 passenger until the 2007 model year. In 2007 Isuzu plans to be completely free of GM and bring a new, completely ISUZU vehicle to the US.
#1401 of 2255 Rodeo ending production in July... by cracovian Jun 24, 2004 (10:59 am)
No more Rodeos and Axioms will EVER be produced in 30 days   $6500 is as low as I've ever seen it (remember that $1K of that is the loyalty rebate). Start with invoice minus the rebate - that's an excellent price and you should get a nice Rodeo while there are still trucks to choose from.   BTW, dumbass salesmen at Horton Atlanta told me that 2003 Troopers were stuck at seaports so I needed to buy my 2002 ASAP and for something close to the MSRP I think. I bought my new 2002 LS at 10K off the MSRP the same day at another dealership and we all knew these were the last Troopers off the boat... Those stupid bastards went under the same year and my Trooper is the best vehicle I've ever had.

I've offroaded with them at Uwharrie. They were drinking Bud the whole time on the trail while driving, littering with beer cans and overall cocky sobs. Funny thing is there is NO Alchol allowed in any of the National parks!   -mike
#1403 of 2255 Oil problems by gb1 Jul 03, 2004 (1:52 pm)
has anyone else experienced a problem with their Rodeo losing oil? I own a '95 that I have to add oil to at least once every two weeks. And last week a major 'ticking' noise could be heard even after I added a quart of oil only two days before. There are no leaks or oil drips on the driveway. Any advice?
#1404 of 2255 Engine Cleaning by md0591 Jul 12, 2004 (10:40 am)
Hi All,   Could anyone please advice whether it's OK to clean the engine with those off-the-shelf engine degreases. It sounds like I just need to spray and wash it off with water. Is there anything that I should pay attention to such as electrical issues?   Thanks! -Dan Replies to this message: brian23 (Aug 29, 2004 1:14 pm)
#1405 of 2255 re: oil problems by rick2456 Jul 14, 2004 (6:25 am)
I had a 95.5 Rodeo with the same problem. When I changed my spark plugs I saw that several of the spark plug channels were filled with oil. Isuzu's answer to this was to put gaskets on the spark plug connecter assembly to prevent oil from getting down to the spark plug. They said that a little oil leakage was no big deal. I never had any problems, but I did use a bit of oil (2 quarts per 3000 miles). I now have a 2001 rodeo and i use maybe a 1/2 quart every 5000 miles, so he new engine is far better than the old one. At least in my experience. Except for the blown head gasket at 63000 miles of course LOL. Took Isuzu 6 weeks to replace the engine under the powertrain warranty. No cost for the repair, but 1300 for rental car sure hurt. But on the bright side, my Rodeo has a new engine which for some reason, probably better engine programing, gets a couple miles a gallon better mileage. Although, there is that humming noise i need to get check out. LOL Can't win for losing.
#1406 of 2255 What Isuzu incentives are there for a 2004 Rodeo? by caylan Aug 04, 2004 (1:06 pm)
I want to trade up from my '01 Rodeo to an '04.   Good idea? Good deals? Better SUV out there?   Thanks for any ideas!
#1407 of 2255 2004 incentives... by cracovian Aug 05, 2004 (10:38 am)
You should be able to get $6500 off the invoice, possibly even $1K more. Direct engine-optioned Rodeos are pricey, not very common, and not much cheaper than a similarly equipped Axiom which I'd personally go for.   I would also look at Mitsubishi Montero Sports. They currently have a $3000 rebate (hopefully, they can up it soon), much more compliant ride, good though thirsty 3.5l 197HP engine, better reliability than the Rodeo and a great powertrain warranty with free 3-year maintenance but... who knows who'll die in the market first.. Isuzu or Mitsubishi
