 For sale I have my Very RARE- 4 Door- 1986 Isuzu Trooper Turbo Diesel 4x4 Truck. 5-Speed Manual Transmission. Originally from Lubbock, Texas. Never seen winter. I have kept it stored in my garage since I bought it three years ago. Truck does run, but the turbo is currently out of it. (this is how I bought it -see picture) I drove it on my trailer this way.
Options included power brakes and power steering. No A/C.

Body- Clean and Straight. Only a couple small rust spots on the passenger side one of the rocker panel and one above the rear wheel, also has a small rust spot on the hood. It does have a pop-up sunroof which is handy and a factory roof rack. Glass is nice, all the windows roll up and down as they should. Windshield is the original factory windshield and is not cracked. All the doors open and close as they should. The sheet metal on the bottom of every door is spotless.

Frame- I am familiar with the common places where these frames will rust if not taken care of. This frame is in excellent condition- very clean and straight. Also has a Draw-Tite hitch mounted to the back.

Motor- The C223T is a VERY solid engine. They are known to run for a long time. Currently the turbo for this motor needs to be repaired. As I have said before the motor does run. I can fire it up if anyone is interested. It does have a block heater which is very rarely needed. I drove it on my trailer this way. The transmission is also solid it goes through the gears smoothly.

4WD- Works great & shifts in and out of 4x4 nice. These trucks have automatic locking hubs just like a Chevy truck.

Brakes- Are good, nice and firm pedal.

Stereo- Will need attention. I would personally take the old cassette player out of it and put a CD player in. Also there is room for 6 X 9 speakers in the back.

Title- I have a clear MI title, with no liens.

Feel free to call me on my cell phone if you have any questions- (616) - 9 1 6 - 8 0 9 9 . I do have it posted for sale locally ($6400 OBO) so I do reserve the right to end the listing early. My trooper is NOT in brand new condition. It is almost 30 years old, original interior and original paint. It is in good used shape for its age.

Buyer must make shipping arrangements if you are not local.

Could this Isuzu Mysterious be an affordable 90s gem?

Tue, Mar 21 2023

The Isuzu Rodeo holds a special place in rad car fans’ hearts, as it was the basis for another beloved off-roader, the original Honda Passport. The five-door Isuzu SUV lasted here for several years before being discontinued in the early 2000s, but the automaker sold funky two-door body styles in other markets, and one of the now-legal imports has made its way to Cars & Bids. Though our version had the somewhat mundane “Rodeo” title, the SUV was known as the “MU” or Mysterious Utility. This Japanese-market version comes with a 2.8-liter turbodiesel and a five-speed manual transmission. This one has around 121,000 miles and looks in decent shape. Interestingly, the two-door MU almost has a Mitsubishi Pajero Evo vibe, with its beefy fender flares and cropped, lifted body. Amazingly, the auctionÂ’s statement that the SUV is barely modified is accurate, as its only upgrades include a new stereo and those funky gold wheels. The Mysterious has drawn several comments, mainly from curious observers asking questions about a vehicle theyÂ’ve never seen. One wondered whether the MysteriousÂ’ top is removable, which unfortunately is not the case. Some versions, including the Isuzu Amigo, which we got, came with a removable soft top. One commenter noted that the tops donÂ’t age well, so the hardtop is likely the best choice for a 31-year-old imported SUV.   Though many JDM vehicles from this era are sometimes exceedingly difficult to import and equally expensive, the Mysterious sits at just $3,500 halfway through its auction. ItÂ’s got all the hallmarks to be a Radwood-ready bargain, too. The bright red paint and gold accents give it just enough flash, and versions of the diesel engine are still in production in China, so it might be somewhat reasonable to find parts.

Japan may aid carmakers facing U.S. tariff threat

Wed, Sep 12 2018

TOKYO — Japan is considering giving carmakers fiscal support including tax breaks to offset the impact from trade frictions with the United States and a sales-tax hike planned for next year, government sources told Reuters on Wednesday. Going into a second round of trade talks with the United States on Sept. 21, Japan is hoping to avert steep tariffs on its car exports and fend off U.S. demands for a bilateral free trade agreement that could put it under pressure to open politically sensitive markets, like agriculture. "If the trade talks pile pressure on Japan's car exports, we would need to consider measures to support the auto industry," a ruling party official said on condition of anonymity because of sensitivity of the matter. The auto industry accounts for about 20 percent of Japan's overall output and around 60-70 percent of the country's trade surplus with the United States, making it vulnerable to U.S. action against Japanese exports. Japan's biggest automakers and components suppliers fear they could take a significant hit if Washington follows through on proposals to hike tariffs on autos and auto parts to 25 percent. Policymakers also worry that an increase in the sales tax from 8 percent to 10 percent planned for October 2019, could cause a slump in sales of big-ticket items such as cars and home. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has twice postponed the tax hike after the last increase from 5 percent in 2014 dealt a blow to private consumption, which accounts for about 60 percent of the economy. To prevent a pullback in demand after the tax hike, the government may consider large fiscal spending later when it draws up its budget for next year, government sources said. "One option may be to greatly reduce or abolish the automobile purchase tax," one of the government sources said. The government is also considering cuts in the automobile tax and automobile weight tax to help car buyers, the source added.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Geo Storm

Mon, May 15 2017

GM's Geo brand existed from the 1989 through 1997 model years. While mostly remembered today for the Suzuki Cultus-based Metro (which continued to be sold with Chevrolet badging until 2001), there were also Geo Prizms (California-built Toyota Corollas), Geo Spectrums (Isuzu I-Mark), Geo Trackers (Suzuki Sidekick), and Geo Storms (Isuzu Impulse). Storms are very rare now, but I found this one in Colorado last week. The idea of the Geo brand was that it would lure young car buyers in a way that wouldn't be possible with stodgy brands such as Oldsmobile or Buick. While GM never sold as many Geos as hoped, enough hit American roads that they were pretty numerous for a while. 1980s-style pink-and-blue graphics remained relevant into the early 1990s. I'm not sure if these pink decal stripes were done at the factory, at a dealership, or later on in someone's back yard. The Storm GSi was the factory-hot-rod version, but this is an ordinary Storm with the 95-horsepower, 12-valve engine. Automatic transmission, of course. It never made it to 100,000 miles. The car seems to be in good shape, so perhaps something broke at about age 10 and it sat in a garage for the next 15 years. This content is hosted by a third party.
