Purchased our very clean '97 Isuzu Trooper in September 2002 with 90,000 miles for $8000. Vehicle currently has 137,000 miles and the only repair we have had was a new fuel pump. This is a solid, quality truck from a little known manufacturer. We love our Trooper!

I bought mine with around 40K miles. I now have 81K. It's basically reliable, but the 4WD whines noisily. I have a slight oil leak in one of the valve covers. My biggest disappointment has been the gas mileage; which should be better for a 3.2 liter engine. I'm pretty conservative behind the wheel, and get less than 15 mpg around town. On long trips I can get up to 18, but only if I keep the speed below 70. One final problem is that I have a slight coolant leak in the heater, which would cost a fortune to repair. It's not that noticeable; but in cold, wet weather, it's hard to keep the front window totally defrosted.
