for sale

Price: US $1,500.00

Description:

Rare 1989 Isuzu Trooper RS -- this is the 2-door short wheelbase version that was sold in the US for only one year. I bought this vehicle about six years ago and used it as my daily driver for many years. Last year it began randomly stalling on me and I have not tracked down the problem. I've since bought another vehicle and so need to sell this one. Buyer should understand that some work will be necessary to make this a reliable car once again. When I originally bought it, the previous owner had run it low on oil so the rod bearings were damaged. I replaced the rod bearings (main bearings were fine) and have driven it for tens of thousands of miles since then, but it still makes a very slight knock at certain engine speeds, so the crank should probably be replaced. My intention was to convert it to diesel with a C223T or 4JB1T, which I understand are both drop-in replacements if you have the transmission to go along with them. I never got around to the conversion before it began stalling on me. The body is in fair shape, with some rust (see pics) and minor scrapes and scratches. The frame is in excellent condition with no rust. Tires are Firestone Destination AT and have probably about 80% of tread left. It also has Warn premium locking hubs. It has air conditioning, but the belt had been removed when I purchased it and I never got around to replacing it, so I don't know if the A/C works. Door seals will need replacing. It will need a new battery. Clutch slave cylinder leaks and should be replaced. Windshield is cracked. If you're interested, make me an offer. I've tried to sell this before on eBay and buyers are not following through. Please don't waste my time if you're not serious. $200 non-refundable PayPal deposit is required at time of sale. Balance is due in cash at time of pick up. NO SHIPPING ON THIS VEHICLE -- in its present condition it's not reliable enough to drive it to a shipper, and large car haulers will be unable to navigate the miles of twisty roads that lead to my house. So I must insist on local pickup only. If you're from out of town, that's fine. Just please make sure to follow through if you make the purchase and bring a trailer to haul it away on. I have clean title in hand and can help load the vehicle on your trailer. I might be able to deliver it (trailer it) to you if you live on the west coast -- if this is of interest, please inquire before purchase, as costs may be substantial depending on how far away you live. Ask any questions you might have, and if you're local you can come check it out -- just message me to arrange a time.
