#147 of 271 New Trooper by teacherjim Mar 22, 2001 (7:20 pm)
I just bought a new2001 Trooper(black)LS. I got it for $200 over invoice and the 0% finacing for 5 years. I'm very happy to get back into a Trooper, its been a long time since I bought a 1984 Trooper when they first came out. Look forward to getting some good advice as I run into problems. I have already ordered some Rancho 9000 shocks to help the handling.

Welcome to the trooper group. That sounds like a great deal. I really like the looks of the black trooper. I have a black '99 trooper S. Is the LS in black a solid color or have two tone paint?
#149 of 271 Edmunds Incentives & Rebates by sdavito Mar 23, 2001 (9:30 am)
Can anyone please provide me with a link to the old Edmunds Incentives & Rebates web page? The new style web page is about worthless. If someone has any other sites that provide the Incentives & Rebates, please post the links.   BTW I was trying to find a invoice price for a Honda CRV for a friend on Edmunds. Their invoice price for a manual trans was about $1500. more than what carpoint.com came up with for the same vehicle with a automatic.   When I purchased my Trooper last year, Edmunds was invaluable, but as of right now, I have no faith in them.   Did the car manufactures get together and buy Edmunds?   TIA   David

#151 of 271 2001 Rodeo LS 4WD by jcmccants3 Mar 23, 2001 (3:07 pm)
I am in the process of buying a 2001 Rodeo LS 4WD and was looking for some advice on the price I have received. The dealer has located a LS 4WD with the appearance pkg., value pkg., and the 16 inch alloy wheels. He has quoted me a price of $27,243.00 which he says is two percent above invoice. Wanted to know if this sounded like a pretty good deal. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
#152 of 271 Good question... by dk667 Mar 23, 2001 (7:33 pm)
Well, jc, you raise a good question. I, too, am in the market for a Rodeo just like the one you mention. The factory invoice for this model given to me buy a dealer shows a grand total of $27018. So if that's the actual dealer cost, then the price you mention would be a good deal. However, included in that invoice total is an advertising charge of $375, a floor plan charge of $284, and a holdback CHARGE of $851. Now, I thought holdback was money received by the dealer to pay for things like advertisting and floor plan. Why holdback is a charge, I don't know. Can anybody shed any light on this? Are these normal invoice charges or are these added in to confuse people?   Because if you subtract those three charges out, the total is $25508, which is what edmunds.com lists as the actual dealer invoice cost. If that's true, then your price isn't as good of a deal. FYI, one dealer has offered me this model at invoice price ($27018), which makes me think they got it for a bit less than that.   Any enlightment would be appreciated...
#153 of 271 Delivery by paisan HOST Mar 23, 2001 (7:53 pm)
I believe that if you add in the 375 + 284 you will get around what the delivery charge is. Also let us not forget the dealer needs to maek $ on this product.   I get $25,588 Invoice with shipping on a 5speed model described above. I get $26,513 Invoice with shipping on an Automatic.   I'd then take those #s and subtract out 3% which is the holdback if the vehcile was originally delivered to the dealer you are buying it from then subtract any factory to dealer incentives, then add about $1200-$1500 to that # and get the total you should pay. $1200-$1500 gross profit for a dealer on a $25K truck isn't an un-fair deal. Don't forget out of that $1200-$1500 the dealer has to pay insurance, HVAC, Electic, prep, salesmen, managers, janitors, rent, etc. etc. and still make some money to bring home.   -mike   PS: I'm not a dealer

You said that "The only thing I'm missing from getting an LSE is the wood grain trim." It does LOOK nice but it scratches very easily.

Those of you posting information about good deals might be interested it this.... and its probably a result of the economic slowdown we're seeing now on Wall Street and other places. If you're willing to drive or fly to Little Rock Arkansas, they are advertising 2001 model Rodeo's and Troopers at $19995. The Rodeo would likely be a nicely equipped unit and the Trooper probably a "S" model, but the prices are attention getters for sure. Check em' out at Jones Nissan Isuzu. 501-945-6191
#156 of 271 Arkansas Isuzu Bargains by central Mar 24, 2001 (8:25 am)
At their website, http://www.jonesisuzu.com/, they only list 2 new Troopers in stock and one of them is a 2000. Also, the quoted prices are both listed well north of $20k. I am not doubting what you read. I just suspect that that when someone calls they will get a "we just sold that Trooper but we have some other great deals come on down" spiel. Then again, the prices could be for used Troopers.
