Up for auction is a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo bug-out 4x4, satin black in color.
When we got it I was told it was a 1994 model, but some of the information appears it is a 1995, but I am not positive. This car starts and drives well. It had been sitting so we have cleaned out the fuel tank and lines, installed a new fuel pump and sent all of the injectors off for testing and cleaning. This Rodeo was used as a spare car for awhile and then an off-road buggy for someones vacation cabin.
I have driven it into town a few times, it needs some work like new shocks and some little things but it is a good cheap little SUV if you can do some work yourself or need a ranch buggy.
GOOD:
- paint is good and durable
- high end optima battery
- engine fires every time, havent had any issues with it not starting or running, has new fuel componants
- all glass is good, passed state inspection and all of that.
BAD:
- the engine does have a very slight tick. I have read and been told this is normal for these engines and is no concern. I havent had any trouble out of it other than getting used to it, engine seems to run VERY well other than it makes a ticking noise.
- the engine burns alittle oil, but we took a look and it appears to be the driver side valve cover gasket leaking oil on the manifold, it is scheduled to get fixed in the next week or two.
- All of the windows work, but some of the switches dont work and need to be replaced. A replacement comes with the car.
- one plastic corner of the rear bumper is broken (see photos)
- tires are all pretty worn out and could stand to be replaced, unless your keeping it on the ranch and dont care.
- Steering has alittle slop and could use repair. I have driven it to Houston at 70mph and it was OK, not like a new car but not terrible or undrivable.
Just a cheap little SUV you dont have to worry about scratching if you need something like this to traverse the wasteland after WW3. Thanks for looking.
Keep in mind it is 22 years old and not a new car, but it is in good condition considering its age. Very rust free body and chassis.
