Hi everyone! I am a stay at home mom who has been put in charge of researching our next car purchase (planning to purchase a 2wd Trooper LS). I am trying to do my homework so that I will not be the typical woman shopper that every dealer is dying to rip off. The info I've read here about incentives, financing, etc. has been very helpful and I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with a dealer in the Dallas, TX area they could recommend. Thanks in advance for any help! |

| Laura - In 1996 I bought a Trooper S from Crest Isuzu in Plano. They advertise in the paper all the time and I bought the one advertised for the price they advertised with no hazzles. At first they wouldn't give me enough for the trade-in so I went to the Autobytel website and asked for a quote. They referred me back to Crest and I told them I wanted more for my trade-in and they ended up giving me what I wanted. You can also get dealer quotes by phone by going to the Isuzu website. They had a ton of Troopers at the time and since they are a volume dealer can give you deep discounts. Stand firm on the deal you want. | |
| Thanks for the advice. I'll give Crest Isuzu a try! | |

Just a couple of notes on the current incentives. I found the info on the Isuzu site. Notes of interest: "Participating Dealers Only" Does this mean that the dealer has to kick in something to be in the "PDO" catagory? Will this change the bottom line of the best deal you can get? 60 month financing is stated as being "60 monthly payments of $17 per $1000 borrowed" At that rate my loan calculator show this to be 0.782 % interest... NOT 0.0%. Even the Isuzu loan calculator show $16.66 /$1000 Bill |

| I've notice low pricing (22k) on some 2001 troopers that appear to not have a painted bumper. What's up with these? Also, I've seen troopers (don't know the year 2000 or 2001) with an unpainted door strip. What trooper trim level has that? Just wondering. | |
|
Are they un-painted? or is it moonmist color? The S models in 00 and 01 get moonmist on the bumpers and lower portions of the doors. They could also be fleet vehicles. -mike |

| Maybe they are that color on the bumper. One I've seen in the parking lot here 2000 or 2001 does not have a painted door strip--just flat gray. Also, black window trim. Mine is black but its painted the same as the truck. | |

The Isuzu ads are probably just rounding up to the nearest dollar. It's still good advice, as wlbrown9 says, to check the numbers carefully on any transaction with a dealership. |

Hello again! My husband how now decided he wants an automatic 4WD Trooper S. I checked on edmund's, which I thought said invoice was $25,086, and I was prepared to negotiate from that price. My husband apparently did not trust my research and did some of his own and the sites he looked at showed an invoice price of around $26,700 for the same truck (I'm not sure where he looked.) Can anyone help me figure this out? I may be missing something really obvious here. Thanks a lot! |

It looks as if the invoice (including dest.)for the S 4WD w/auto is about 26,772. With manual it is about 25,378. Wait, that was on KBB.COM. The prices on EDMUNDS are what you looked at, 25,086 (+ 520) destination. Carprices.com shows the dealer wholesale to be 26,253 + 520 dest. Not sure who is correct. Has there been an increase that Edmunds does not have in their pricing yet? They all seem to have the same MSRP of 29,170 that shows on the Isuzu site. Anybody out there know what the deal is? |
