I found the sound system to be quite substandard and also traced the problem to the speakers. I installed the same Polk Audio speakers (purchased from Crutchfield) in less than an hour and the difference was amazing! I highly recommend the change.

24 K for New 2000 Trooper S W4d auto, 6 CD by radman6

OK, here's my numbers. New 2000 Trooper S, 4WD, Automatic, 6 disc CD player, cargo mat, hood protector, stickered at almost 31K, paid $24,000, bought in November 2000 from University Motors in Missoula MT - a great little dealership. Mike Robinson was my salesman and he was super to work with. Took less than 30 minutes and a couple phone calls to work out the deal.
 
  I've seen lower numbers posted but not anywhere close to where I live. The SUV market is pretty strong here and there's not many Isuzu dealers.
 
  I drove everything on the market and had up to 35K to spend - nothing else even came close for the money.

radman6 - good price by bluedevils

That's a pretty good price, IMO. You may have been able to do better somewhere else in the country, but who cares. You got almost $7,000 off MSRP, and you got a great vehicle for much less than other people are spending to buy lesser vehicles (Xterras, Pathfinders, Explorers, Blazers, etc.) Good work.

Drove a new Highlander yesterday and this a real nice little car/suv but really pricey. Apples to apples can probably get a Lexus about same $$$. However a Isuzu local agency says they have a 2000 S 2WD auto and with 6cd changer, quoted $21,000. I suspect that might be knocked down quite a bit too since that truck must have been sitting there a while. Drove by to take a look but couldn't find it, they had an 00 4WD with a message in crayon "$5500 off MSRP". Current Edmunds Incentive board show dealer incentive of $3500/$4000 on 00 models amd $1500/2000 on 01s. Consumer incentive shows.009% financing.

Can't get the $ and the financing... by paisan HOST

Just so you know straight up, you won't get the $4000 off plus the financing, only one or the other. My dealer is advertising $6000-$7000 off of 2000 LS model Troopers.

Looking for advice on a new Trooper. Found a 2001 demo with 1700 miles at 30K. Driven by the owner of the dealership. It's a LSD. with the gold package. Is that a deal. They are also offering a killer trade in on my Saab.
 
I'm torn, however, between that and a Pathfinder LE with everything. The main advantages for the Pathy is a better stereo, memory seats w/ lumbar support, selectable 4wheel drive, built in garage door opener. Interior space difference, which the Trooper has more is not a crushing issue. Anybody have advice for my dilemma?

Selectable 4wd? by paisan HOST

I just zipped over to the Pathy LE specs site, here's what I found:
 
LSD is optional on PF
Rear Discs are not available on PF (Standard on Trooper)
Skid Plates not available on PF
Rear wind deflector (to keep dust off rear window) optional on PF (Std on Trooper)
All Wheel Drive system on PF cannot be turned off to std 2wd. Trooper can be 2wd, 4wd TOD (dry or wet pavement) or 4wd Lo
No Powered Folding Mirrors on PF (yes they both have heated power controlled mirrors, but the Trooper can be retracted from inside)
No Arm rest "Captain's Chair" type seat in the PF
 
The stereo does seem better in the PF, but for $200-$500 more on the Trooper you can have a good aftermarket one installed that will put it above the PF one.
 
The biggest thing in the above list IMHO would be the rear disc brakes on the Trooper over the PF. That is a safety issue that shouldn't be overlooked. Good luck with your decision and keep us posted!

Thanks much for your comments. From what I have read about the rather tinny sounding stereo system, which I noticed when I test drove, is that the speakers are the main culprit. I have no problem replacing these with STOAT units. Otherwise, is the stereo functional? Also, what mileage to you get on the freeway when maintaining 65 MPH? Bob
