[img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]sunk my rodeo in the bayou. i want another so badly. gonna get one off of e-bay because we only have 1 dealership in south louisiana, so rodeos are rare around here. last rodeo, all i did was sit in it and bought it 15 minutes later without even test driving it. probably won''t be so lucky next time. any suggestions on asking relevant questions?can i do it without a mechanic? how much should i expect to pay a mechanic for an inspection - in general? are there mechanics who know more about isuzu''s than others? was married to a mechanic for 15 years, didn''t have to deal with this stuff; divorced him. current husband, threw him in the bayou, cause he should have listened to me about the brakes on the rodeo.
