Used Isuzu Rodeo for Sale

I bought my 1999 Isuzu Rodeo used in 2002. I don't drive too much, basically to work and back with a road trip every other year or so, but it has been a very reliable car for me in the thirteen years I have owned it. I find it to be stylish, and even though it is over 15 years old now, I don't find the look of it to be outdated like many other cars and trucks are. I have put over 150,000 miles on it and the engine still runs great. The only problem I have had with it that doesn't fall under normal wear and tear is that both of my keyless entry key chains stopped working many years ago, and changing the batteries did not help. The dashboard design in functional, but not stylish at all, very utilitarian. The gas mileage is decent at best, but that is to be expected of a SUV from the 90s.

I purchased my Isuzu Rodeo new in 2000. This vehicle fell into what I would consider a mid-price range. The monthly payments were affordable for my middle class family. The exterior paint is Alpine White and I wish now that I had chosen a prettier color. I am tired of the plain white finish and have always found that it shows dirt easily. This SUV performs well both in town and on the highway. Pick-up is a little sluggish. The car has 93,000 miles and, other than standard maintenance, no major repair work has been necessary. There is ample room in the passenger compartment with comfortable seating for five. I especially like being able to fold down the rear seats for extra space if it is needed. There is also a sturdy luggage rack on the roof if even more storage space is needed. The gas tank is on the driver's side which I like when gassing up. I believe it is safer to stay on my side of the vehicle when using a self pump. Unfortunately, as I am getting a little older now, I find that the vehicle sits high and it is becoming increasingly harder for me to climb in and out of it gracefully. The running board height is the main reason I will be trading in this car. I need something now that sits lower to the ground, with perhaps sliding side doors.

The car may be very old in age, but everything is working very fine and well for me as a new driver. The interface is simple to understand while at the same time providing clear indication of what is needed or required from the car. I like this car a lot as I personally preferred to have a higher view of everything in the car, therefore this SUV provided me with the height that I was looking for back then. While many people prefer to have their car outfitted with the newest tech installed, this car provided me with simplicity. The only dislike that I had with this car was, as a new driver, I would have preferred to have Lane Assist and Parking Alert.
