1991 Isuzu Trooper rescue
 

I have a near-perfect 1991 Isuzu Trooper that we have owned since new - it has been my wife's only car since she adopted it in 2005. Not a single dent and even the paint is great (other than the roof).

The car has 182,500 miles and, as we've replaced nearly everything under the hood in the last 5 years or so, seemed to be in great mechanical condition (A/C and everything works) as well. However, during the past two weeks it has begun to lose power, idle roughly, stall, and is almost impossible to start once warmed up. From a cold start I don't trust it to run more than a couple of miles before quitting.

The bottom line is, we have to get a new car. We've put so much into the Trooper over the years, but, not knowing what's wrong with it, we don't want to make any more major investments and don't want to worry about it quitting on us on the road. My assumption is that the car has no trade-in value if it can't be driven, and it seems like a waste to scrap it if there's a Trooper fan somewhere who'd be willing to take it off our hands and maybe bring it back to life. PIcture attached.

Please contact me in before Monday (2/11) if you know of someone. Thanks.
