| Drewsmom1 - wow, you got a great buy on your Trooper at $22K. We worked the dealers pretty hard in November 2000 and gave 24k for our 2000S auto, 4WD, with 6 CD changer, hood protector and cargo mat. I hope you enjoy yours as much as we have. Welcome to the club! | |

Was the 22k - out the door? Or +TTL? David |

| Our truck was 22K plus TTL, so walk out was 23.6K. Also, we did not get the 0.0 finance with this. Our salesman was Ken with Buz Post in Arlington, TX. | |

Anybody watching the Eco-challenge on USA network this week? They're running the new Joe Isuzu ads three or four times. I think there are two more nights of coverage. Great ad - maybe Isuzu is trying to increase US visibility. I think the 0% 60 Month financing is due to a combination of the US economic downturn and the Japanese interest rate situation. On the news yesterday, a story indicated that dealers have 3.5 months worth of inventory, compared to a typical level of 2 months of inventory. They had a FORD dealer saying that Explorers and Expeditions were 25% off - the most ever. I might take one for 50% off, but I think Ford makes a POS. There is an SUV glut too - probably in response to Petro prices and overproduction. Just some random musings. Andy |

| Just purchased a 2001 Rodeo LS 4WD, appear. pkg., value pkg., 16" locking alloy wheels, cargo tray, tail lamp trim, and 6 CD player. Pd. $27,000 at 0% for 60 months. Invoice was around 26,600 and had to get vehicle form outside dealer. So far I love the vehicle and wanted to say thanks for everyone's help and advice! Also, wanted to throw in that one of the dealers I was working with would not budge from 27,250 in order to match the 27k that another dealer was offering me. However, once I told him I had made my decision to go with the other dealer, he called back within the hour and dropped his price to $26,5. Oh, well, too little too late! Thanks again and so long to my Late Great 1987 Trooper with 208,000 miles! | |

I also just purchased a 2001 Rodeo LS 4WD, white, with appear. pkg., value pkg., 16" locking alloy wheels, cargo tray, tail lamp trim, and 6 CD player. But also got body side molding AND side step bars for $26693, MSRP was $28884. I had negotiated with paying half on the side step bars, which would have cost $150 instead of $300 installed. But the salesman wrote up the order without adding the extra amount into the sale. So I ended up with FREE side step bars! Gotta love it when the sales people screw up in our favor. Basically paid about $50 above invoice and still had the 0.0% financing for 60 months. Plus, the dealership I was at was giving a promotion of either a Samsung 21" color TV or an RCA DVD player with the purchase of a car. So on top of my great deal, I picked the DVD player too! This dealership also gave me an extra $800 on my trade-in compared to a local Izusu dealer. Local dealer was going to give me $6500 on a Blazer. Instead, I got $7300! It was well worth the hour drive south to buy from that dealer. I've had my baby for two weeks now and love it. My husband is tall and complains that the rear-view mirror gets in his line of sight when he drives. Fortunately for me, it's MY truck and I don't have that problem Sunny |

| My husband and I are trying to decide which SUB to buy. We like the 2001 Tahoe and 2001 Trooper S. Both are 4 by 2. The trooper dealer in Nashville at Bob Frensley seems nice enough, and I think we could get a great car for $300 or so above invoice and 0% financing. The only drawback is the uncomfortable seats. The tahoe will have to be ordered as the only ones available are loaded to the gills with needless options. Both cars will be in the neighborhood of $30,000. Of course, the Tahoe will be a few thousand more due to finance charges, but those seats are so comfortable... could be worth extra on long trips. Gas mileage is equivalent. Trooper gets the moon roof. Tahoe is larger. Both drive equally well. Surprisingly, after researching the reviews and reading these boards for 8 months trying to decide, I have found it to be even as far as current customer compliments/complaints go. So, we bring it to you. Please help. Also, I am posting this on the dealers page since I want to get the maximum deal on an LS with moonroof and leather that is possible. We are willing to drive 250 miles to get it!! Any idea??? One other item, is it possible to change that center console in any way, and do the seats get more comfortable with time??? | |
|
They are pretty comfy now at 20K miles
The LS with Moonroof + 2wd should be no more than around $25-27K. I paid $27.5 last year for a 4wd w/moonroof.
The amount of $ you'll save getting a Trooper you could probably buy new seats + a center console for it and still come out much cheaper than the Tahoe

If you read the Metalfest '01 section you'll see why Isuzu owners are a different breed than any other car manufactuer! -mike |

I am in the market for a 2001 Rodeo LS 4x4 with the following options: Automatic, Appearance Package, Cargo Mat, Value Package and Aluminum Wheels. The MSRP for this vehicle is $28,884. I have check the TMV pricing listed on Edmunds for this vehicle, and it is $24,606. Edmunds also has the invoice listed at $25,605; therefore, Edmunds' TMV is $999 below invoice. Since I have never purchased an Isuzu before, I would like to know what would be a good price. |
