#64 of 271 trooper is just right by gpm5 Feb 01, 2001 (7:08 am)
The trooper is a rugged, no compromise, go anywhere vehicle. The best deal on the planet that I know of for what I want. An SUV with lots of cargo space, back seat legroom, 215 hp, offroad capability that is awesome, and durability. I have had no problems with my '99 and plan to run it for 100,000+. I'll see the exploders in the junk yard by then.

To a list of people and the problems they've had over 100,000 miles on the Isuzu 3.2l engines... http://www.outdoorwire.com/ubb/Forum68/HTML/002404.html Thought you guys might be interested in it. -mike
#66 of 271 Trooper for sale by chrismiller1 Feb 12, 2001 (2:07 pm)
I am thinking of upgrading to a 2001 limited from my current 2000 LS 2wd. That would require my selling my LS. It has 3,500 miles on it. Dragon Green with tan interior. Would ask around 22K for it. have put hood guard,aluminum steps,rear mat,and hitch on it. All factory items. It is very sharp and draws alot of comments. It really surprised me how much the ladies like it. You can reach me at chrismiller007aol.com   Chris
#67 of 271 Great Price by paisan Feb 12, 2001 (3:13 pm)
That's a great price on an LS!   -mike
#68 of 271 Even for a 2WD? by bluedevils Feb 13, 2001 (10:22 am)
Price doesn't sound too bad, but I didn't think it sounded great. Does sound like a sharp-looking truck.
#69 of 271 Doh! by paisan Feb 13, 2001 (11:01 am)
Didn't realize it was a 2wd. I'd say $19K for the 2wd would be outstanding.   -mike
#70 of 271 troopers in CT by gpm5 Feb 13, 2001 (3:55 pm)
Torrington Hyundai Isuzu has a couple of 2000 S models and an LS model on the web that are worth checking out. Low miles. You can probably get a good deal. http://www.carbuyers.com/ct/torringtonhyundai.cfm?TheDealer=538#Listings
#71 of 271 Since most of the conversation here focuses on the Trooper, by bama_luke Feb 14, 2001 (10:30 am)
I'll interject my Rodeo story. I just bought the car last September. I'd spent probably 6 months researching different small - midsize SUVs. For most of my shopping search I had the Xterra at the top of my list. Others that I was considering were Forrester, CRV, Sportage, and Escape. In fact, until I test drove most of these at the Edmunds.com roadshow in Atlanta, Rodeo was not on the list. Anyway, after the test drives, CRV, Sportage, and 1 other that was not on the original list were marked off, and Rodeo leaped into the #2 position. The Forrester was soon eliminated because of its price tag. The final three (in order of preference) were Xterra, Rodeo, and Escape. Escape was soon eliminated because the sales prices were expected to be MSRP +$3,000 to $5,000 AND the waiting list. Around this time, the PT Cruiser found it's way onto my list, and if there was more storage space behind the back seat, that's probably what I would have bought.   So basically it was down to the Xterra and Rodeo. The Rodeo was about $3,000 more and I was leaning heavily towards the Xterra. What turned me was the 10 year drivetrain warranty for the Rodeo and I was able to get a 0.0% apr. Don't know if I really got a deal or not, but I paid about $20,000 ($23,000 and change total cost) at 0.0%.   Now, 5 months later, I wouldn't trade the Rodeo for any of the others I looked at.   Luke   PS - Another factor was my dad's experience with his Trooper. It's only 4 or 5 years old, but it has been trouble free.
#72 of 271 I started looking at the rodeo by gpm5 Feb 14, 2001 (10:59 am)
but switched to the trooper for the additional space. I also thought about the tribute/escape, pathfinder, and durango but quickly eliminated all of those. The offroad abilities of the Isuzus put the others out of the running.
#73 of 271 Dealer review by islander21 Feb 19, 2001 (4:41 pm)
Well, its been 5 weeks since I bought the 2000 Trooper S, unfortunately I took it back to the place I bought it from for some simple maintenance and they've had it for the better part of the last 2 weeks - almost as much as I've driven it. As soon as I get my vehicle back I will post my review of Carmax's Service Department (there's an oxymoron somewhere in there). I'll name names, locations and will describe the situation as succintly as possible so that you folks out there don't make the same mistakes I made and, thus, get inconvenienced like I did.   Islander
