VERY RELIABLE CAR. LOVED AND WELL MAINTAINED IT'S ENTIRE LIFE. 2001 ISUZU RODEO, 4 CYLINDER MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ONE-OWNER, 2.2 LITER 134 C.I.D., WE HAVE TAKEN VERY, VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS SUV. IT HAS BEEN LOVED BUT HAVE TO SELL BECAUSE OUR FAMILY HAS OUTGROWN IT. THIS IS NOT A WHIMPY FOUR CYLINDER, IT HAS PLENTY OF GET UP AND GO POWER. THIS IS A PRIVATE SELLER, NOT A DEALER. THIS IS MY WIFE'S PRIMARY DRIVER AND WAS DRIVEN BY HER UP UNTIL ONE WEEK AGO. SHE IS A VERY CONSERVATIVE DRIVER AND NEVER ABUSED THE SUV. READ ON... THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION FOR YOU BELOW!! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME BEFORE YOU BID, DAVID (865) 919-9677. SIDE NOTE-FYIRECENTLY, I WON AN EBAY AUCTION FOR A LARGER VEHICLE TO REPLACE THIS RODEO. IT WAS A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. THE SELLER HAD LEFT OUT A CRITICAL DETAIL IN THE AUCTION DESCRIPTION. HAD HE BEEN THOROUGH, I WOULD NOT HAVE BID ON THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF STRUCTURAL RUST UNDER THE VAN. HE LIKELY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE RUST SINCE HE LIKELY NERVER LOOKED UNDER IT. I TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY FROM TENNESSEE TO MASSACHUSETTS FOR A POORLY REPRESENTED AUCTION.TO HIS CREDIT, HE ENDED UP MAKING IT RIGHT AND SELLING ME A SIMILAR VEHICLE FOR A GREAT PRICE. THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE. NEVERTHELESS, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE THAT WAY.I WILL DO WHAT I CAN TO KEEP FROM DOING THAT TO YOU BY PROVIDING GREAT DETAIL IN THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION. NOW, BACK TO MY LISTING:THIS CLEAN ONE OWNER ISUZU RODEO WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP IN 2001, WE BOUGHT THE DELUXE WARRANTY/MAINTENANCE PACKAGE AND USED IT!

ARE READILY AVAILABLE AND INEXPENSIVEEVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT A 4X4, IT HAS A HARD TIME GETTING STUCK. IT HAS A WIDE WHEEL BASE AND IS DESIGNED FOR OFF ROAD. MY TRUCK HAS GOTTEN STUCK MANY TIMES, BUT NOT THIS SUV. AFTER DRIVING THIS SUV FOR TEN YEARS, I WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR:PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR A MOM WITH THREE OR LESS KIDS (GREAT FOR GROCERY AND GAME RUNS).SECONDARY VEHICLE FOR JUST ABOUT ANYONE.PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT A TRUCK BUT NEEDS MORE THAN A CAR CAN DO.FIRST CAR FOR A TEENAGER (EASY TO WORK ON, RELIABLE AND NOT TOO FAST, SAFE ENOUGH FOR MY FAMILY).COLLEGE STUDENT (GREAT FOR SHORT OR LONG TRIPS, PLENTY OF CARGO ROOM FOR DORM HAULING).WOULDN'T BE A BAD B.O.V. FOR PAVED, GRAVEL AND DIRT ROADS! THIS IS NOT A HUNTING RIG OR OFF-ROAD VEHICLE, AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED AS SUCH. *DISCLOSURE*AT 89,000 MILES, A COOLANT LEAK DEVELOPED DUE TO A HOSE FAILURE. THE ENGINE OVERHEATED, CAUSING A SMALL WARP IN THE HEAD. THE HEAD WAS REMOVED AND RE-SURFACED (VALVES WERE REBUILT, AS WELL). HEAD WORK WAS COMPLETED BY A SPECIALIZED MACHINE SHOP ($400). I SPENT AN ADDITIONAL $900 IN NEW PARTS AND MATERIALS FOR THE ENGINE. WHILE THE HEAD WAS OUT, I REFURBISHED THE ENTIRE UPPER ENGINE AND ALL COMPONENTS. THE BREAK IN PERIOD WAS COMPLETED AND ENGINE IS GREAT! IT IS STRONG AND READY FOR ANOTHER 150,000 MILES. THIS IS A DISCLOSURE, BUT IT IS REALLY A POSITIVE THING. THIS IS A STRONG ENGINE AND READY TO GO. SINCE THE REBUILD, THE ENGINE BURNS ABOUT ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES.ONE PIECE OF TRIM IS MISSING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR.REAR WIPER DOES NOT WORK.IN 2004, THE SUV WAS IN A MINOR ACCIDENT. IT WAS A LOW SPEED REAR END THAT INVOLVED ONLY THE REAR BUMPER. IT WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP WITH ORIGINAL OEM PARTS. I NOW SUSPECT THAT IS WHY THE REAR WIPER DOES NOT WORK. I CANNOT RECALL ANY OTHER ACCIDENTS OR COLLISIONS WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE ARE A FEW BLEMISHES ON THE BUMPERS HERE AND THERE FROM GROCERY STORE LOTS.THERE IS A LITTLE VIBRATION AT 70 MPH. A MECHANIC TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT (THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE AND HE THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH TIRE SELECTION AND TIRE PRESSURE). IT RIDES LIKE A RUGGED SUV, IT IS NOT A LUXURY CAR.THE A/C-HEATER FAN BLOWS ONLY ON HIGH. A MOUSE BUILT A NEST IN THE FAN BOX THIS SPRING. I CLEANED OUT THE MOUSE AND MOST OF THE NEST. I COULD NOT REACH ALL OF THE NEST WITH MY HAND OR WITH TOOLS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT ALL OUT AT ONCE IS TO DRAIN THE A/C AND COOLANT (PAIN IN REAR). THE NEST CAUSED THE BLOWER RESISTOR TO GO OUT ($40 PART). I HAVE CLEANED IT OUT THREE TIMES AND IT SEEMS TO BE ALMOST CLEAR. DO NOT REPLACE THAT RESISTOR UNTIL IT IS ALL CLEAR. THAT PART IS SUPER EASY TO ACCESS AND REPLACE-RIGHT IN THE FRONT. THERE IS ONE 2" DING IN THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS PERFECTLY ROUND WITH NO SPIDERING. IT WILL NOT CRACK OR GET BIGGER, IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR FOUR YEARS. ALSO, FROM THE DRIVER'S VIEW, IT IS NOT VISIBLE WHILE DRIVING. IF THE DRIVER LOOKED AT IT, THE DRIVER WOULD BE LOOKING AT THE HOOD. IT IS IN THE LOWER DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD ALMOST AT DASH LEVEL. NEEDS A NEW MUFFLER (IT IS NOT NOISY, JUST THE OUTER SHELL IS STARTING TO PEEL OFF).REAR VIEW MIRROR LIGHTS DON'T WORK (I PULLED THE WIRE OUT OF THE BACK OF IT WHILE CAMPING, SORRY). THATS ABOUT ALL I CAN COME UP WITH, THIS IS A GREAT VEHICLE! IF IT WILL SERVE YOUR NEEDS, THEN "BID" AND BUY MY BABY A NEW PAIR OF SHOES! THREE BOYS AND NOW A GIRL ON THE WAY!! HAPPY BIDDING AND I HOPE YOU WIN! BUT WE HATE TO SAY GOODBYE TO OUR RODEO! PLEASE REFER TO ALL PAGES AND INFORMATION ON THIS AUCTION/LISTING TO GET COMPLETE PAYMENT DETAILS AND REQUIREMENTS. THANKS!

That sounds ridiculous. Thats not what I meant. There is "some" rust on some of the undercarriage parts, of course. For example, show me a drum brake that has no rust or a wheel without any rust. A new car has "some" rust. I don't want that to sound misleading, like the car sparkles in the moonlight. The undercarriage looks very good overall to me, and I believe it to be above average. Now, that's better. Thanks! Also, sorry about the TINY pictures at the top of the page. The pictures at the BOTTOM of the page are regular size. My digital camera is only 640x640 (stone age), my apologies! I tried to fix that with Ebay's help, but it can't be done.On May-24-10 at 14:29:45 PDT, seller added the following information: Latest update:I was just getting the Rodeo ready for a test drive that is scheduled for tomorrow.  It has been sitting for almost a week on a clean concrete slab.  I looked under the bottom and there ARE two 4" circles of what looks like motor oil.  There is a small oil leak somewhere which would explain the 1 qt about every 1000 miles.  the sides of the oil pan look wet, so I suspect that gasket might have a little leak.  That gasket is very easy to replace.  A little leak like THAT is very normal for any car that is 9 years old.  I wouldn't give it too much thought.  But it might be nice to identify the source.  Since it would leak a little on the ground if you left it somewhere for a long time.Also, I remembered that I had a NEW catalytic converter put in when I was in the engine.Two days left, best of luck to you all.  Someone is gonna get a great deal.
