Used Isuzu Rodeo for Sale

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 was great. It had great handling and the gas mileage was excellent. It had 22" tires on it which gripped the road well. The inside was a bit dated, but comfortable. There were some issues with the timing belts that seem to have been reoccurring. The acceleration was poor, but it made up for it when it was taken off-road. I didn't really feel too safe driving it, as it felt like a box on wheels.

We have had this car since 2002. The ride is "truck-like", but overall is comfortable. It is reliable. We have had only one major issue with it since we got it. The transmission failed, but the warranty from Isuzu covered the transmission which they replaced. It just took months to get it completely fixed as the transmission came from a factory in France! Replacement parts for this SUV are hard to find as Isuzu no longer makes cars and SUVs.
