Hi all. I've searched a bit here, but can't seem to find any sort of Rodeo "Buyer's Guide". In the past, when I've considered other used vehicles, owner/enthusiast forums like this one have been a great place to find tips and hints about what to look for in a used vehicle. I'm looking for advice on things like:

• Common problems to look for.
• Best years/options.
• Problem years/options.
• Maintenance considerations.
• Etc.

If there's already a thread like this here, please point me towards it. Otherwise, I'd sure appreciate any insights that members here might be able to provide.

Also of note. I haven't had an Isuzu since my father sold his '78 Luv and, given that Isuzu has pulled out of the US market (quite some time ago, if you don't count the rebadged GM product) I'm curious how parts availability (besides the obvious maintenance parts) is.

Thanks all, in advance, for any advice you can offer.

ps - Top of my list right now is an '02 LS 4x4 V6 (3.2) auto with 85K. Seems decent enough.

what is the user / pass for that site please?

 

There is no pass / user log-in. Just click on the link and it should take you there. That's all I did. I found the link after weeks of searching.
