yes, it's with 0% financing. But I still wonder why toddswagner posted getting a 01 Trooper S at $22,500 in all, and this is $26,745 not including tax, tag, etc? Sounds bad to me.

The dealerships will get you one way or another. If you get the 0% financing, they will not come off the price at all, but if you get some kind of interest rate, they will come off the price. Since I financed with the credit union I didn't care about 0% interest because I wanted my car payments at a certain level. I guess 0% is good because car dealerships front end load the loans, so when you come back in 3 years to trade it in, you still owe a lot because you are paying mainly interest for the first couple of years. The credit union loan is simple interest. Dealers always have ways to get you, but since I couldn't find a decent used Trooper, I had to get a new one.#227 of 271 help with Trooper Pricing by 88trooperguy

Can anyone help me here? I went to two dealers to price a new Trooper limited. Dealer one quoted me for a MSRP of $35358 a Trooper at "dealer cost" of 31851. This does not sound right. Edmunds quotes a Invoice of 30286 for the same MSRP. The Dealer says ( of course ) that the "internet prices are not correct". His breakdown:"Base dealer cost" 30286
advertising fee 300
"holdback" 1046
"floor plan" 349
total cost to me 31851
Needless to say I asked what is the justification for these added fees is. They said that is to cover costs of financing the vehicle, interest expense , dealer prep, etc. I replied the rest of the world defines holdback as a payment from the manufacturer at the end of the year , for these costs. I never paid these before and I have bought Hondas when they were in high demand and never paid these fees. They were adamant that the customer pays these. I booked out of there.
The second dealer quoted a price of $250 above "dealer cost" . For the same MSRP he quoted a price 32276 as $250 above "dealer cost", meaning his stated cost was 32026, which is about $2000 higher than edmunds invoice cost. kelley blue book says the invoice is 31678 and carpoint says 31725. What gives? Have these Troopers become such a hot item that they can get these prices, or do they both think that people are idiots and will pay anything all of a sudden. Both dealers had lots of Axioms and some Troopers on the lot, so I dont think they are flying out the door. Or are the dealers trying to subsidize the zero percent financing offer. Reading posts I dont see anyone paying this much. Help?

There is no justification for that--look up the invoice cost at the edmunds site with all options, which you did--they are usually fairly accurate--ask him to show you the invoice for comparison. Look at the dealer holdback at the Edmunds site if applicable. If you are getting 0% financing take that into consideration by doing a calculation with 7.5-8%. Then decide how much over cost you want to give this dealer--be it $1000 or $500 or $1500 or whatever. If you think 1000 over is fair make him the offer, be ready to walk, and tell him if he doesn't take it someone else will, before you tell him you will walk. If the trooper is still sitting there in 2 weeks ask him if he'll take the offer then. Remember, the dealer doesn't make any money by having the trooper sitting in his lot and in fact after a certain interest-free grace period the dealer begins losing money if its sitting there.#229 of 271 Overpriced Troopers by toddswagner

Call Horton Isuzu and Lou Sobh Isuzu in Atlanta, Georgia and ask what the same vehicle costs. Believe me, you will get a good deal.#230 of 271 2001 Rodeo LS by eddie1337

#233 of 271 Interested in an Isuzu by scootdale
Jun 12, 2001 (3:44 pm)
Hello all. I have been kicking around the idea of replacing my 1991 S10 Blazer 2dr. 2WD for an SUV with 4WD. Have done alot of looking on the internet and am not impressed with the GM or Ford fair...Am really interested in the Isuzu line of TRUCKS (not cars with a lift and big tires)... Can only afford about 25k all told. Wish could afford a Trooper, but seems to get one with some options it will get "pricey". Any owners have info on the Rodeo Sport?#234 of 271 $25K by paisan

You should be able to get a 2001 Trooper for that $25K sometime in Aug-sept time frame. It's well worth the money IMHO. Where are you located? If it's within driving distance of NYC, I have a great dealer there.Staten Island Isuzu/Subaru ask for Mark 718-979-9595
