To buy or not to buy: 2000 Isuzu Trooper M/T(Local)

[testament11]

Bakit kasi sa lahat ng tatamaan ng problema yung Trooper pa..

Pwedeng Crosswind naman

Ganito lang yan brader... Bakit hindi sa Crosswind, kasi karamihan ng may Crosswind, ginagamit sa pang hanap buhay, GTExpress ika nga... So kawawa naman daw sila pag sila tinamaan ng sakit ng Trooper dahil sa mahal ito ipaggawa.

Di daw kasi gaya ng sa Trooper, karamihan ng may-ari, mga mayayaman. So afford naman daw nila ang pagpapaggawa ng injectors niya, di ba

BTT:
To TS, kung talagang di mo kaya i-istretch ang budget mo, no choice ka na kundi sa mga Japan Surplus. Kung ako, Pajero pa rin, yun Exceed 2.8L na ah. Pero kelangan lang maging meticoloso ka lalo sa mga pang ilalim like rocker arm, stabilizers, etc. Di ko kasi trip ang itsura ng Bighorn eh, unless kung may fender flares siya at malapad ang gulong.

^ o pwede rin kunin niya na yung Trooper tapos pa-change engine niya na lang to isuzu 4bc2 hehehe....!! a yung makina ng jeep, matibay yan. 3.3L pa yung displacement. o kaya yung 4ba1 (2.8L) na lang, yung gamit ng mga elf truck, tipid yun saka malakas rin humatak. ang daming surplus isuzu engine dyan sa may raon, legarda, banawe, blumentrit j.K!

[fullmetal]

thanks sa lahat ng nag-reply!

CR-V 2nd gen vs tropper?

Wala.

Yung una, sobrang lakas sa gas at pangit ride.
Yung pangalawa, scary. :rofl01:

CR-V 1st gen nalang.

Nasa 560-600+ pa yung 1999 FM.
Mahal, 'no? Hehe.

mahal nga ng fm! di ko kasi gusto yung looks ng cr-v 1st gen, mas gusto ko yung looks ng cr-v 2nd gen. mga ilan ba FC ng cr-v bro? may cr-v dati yung pinsan ko, sabi niya ok lang naman daw fc pero dahil siguro di naman siya masyadong natratraffic(pampanga lang kasi halos ginagamit), m/t 4x2 yung sakanya.

mukhang ididispatcha muna talaga yung Civic mo bro a, wala akong masyadong alam dyan sa Trooper na yan but try other options and stretch mo yung budget mo ng konti, konting-konti lang para umabot sa Pajero Exceed or Nissan Patrol Safari.

kung gusto mo medyo praktical, mag Toyota Revo ka (yung diesel), kaya-kayang sumargo sa lubak at swabeng-swabe kahit walang menor-menor sa mga humps.heheheh!!!yun nga lang hindi katulad ng SUV ang ride niya na para ka lang dinuduyan while inside the cabin. may tatag ng onti but over-all its a fine AUV.

binata pako bro, ang pangit ng dating kung naka-revo ako hahaha! sabi kasi ng daddy ko minsan lang makahanap ng safari na maganda ang condition, pero dati nakabili na kami ng safari na maganda. 2000 executive series pa, kaso nakabuntis kuya ko kaya kinailangang ibenta para makapagbusiness siya hahaha.

mayroon na ngang asa 280k-350k price range eh bro. pero yun nga, sabi ng daddy ko minsan lang yung magagandang condition na safari, tsaka baka mahirapan ako sa laki nun kasi balak ko ng dalin sa manila yung auto ko pagka-graduate ng college, law school na eh. :D

Stay away from the 2nd gen CRV. It's ugly, guzzles gas, and is cramped inside if you want to fill it to its "ten cheater" capacity. Magkaibang class yan, CUV ang CRV yung Trooper tunay na midsize SUV, with all the equipment, amenities and characteristics expected in one, and marketed and sold worldwide as one. The Trooper may not be very fuel efficient as these vehicles go, but at least it is still more economical than the CRV.

Back then when the Trooper was new, the Pajero was actually looked down on for being a slowpoke and having a cramped interior as compared to the Trooper. And now the Pajero's resale value is sky-high as compared to the Trooper. Not very desirable if you are willing to religiously maintain the car.

actually sir di ko naman gagawin 7-10 "cheater" yung cr-v hahaha, yung higher ground clearance at looks lang gusto ko sa cr-v. mga ilan ba fc ng 2nd gen cr-v sir? mas malakas pa siya kaysa sa trooper?


mukhang back to my original choices nalang ako. ano kayang mas ok 2nd gen cr-v, escape? jimny kaya ok din? gawa paba ako ng separate thread para dun or dito nalang din? hahaha. thanks in advance mga sir!

[renzo_d10]

Ok yung Jimny kung dalawa lang naman sasakay. All-around din siya and the looks are ok din. PerO kung parati may sasakay sa likod, wag na. Hirap ingress egress.

Kung ako sayo, RAV4 or Escape bro.
Yung 2.3L AT nasa 6-7km/L sa City. Ewan lang sa Rav.

Disente pa tignan. Bagay na bagay sa future attorney. Hehehe

Hindi naman ako ganun ka tanda ah, pero gumagamit din ako ng Revo. It's not that bad! Lahat pwede mong itapat. I've dealt with boy racers with this one before, nakipaggitgitan sa akin, walang magawa! Makisingit-singit sa jeepneys and buses? No problem! Kitang pangharabas car yan at hindi takot makipagsingit, ipagbibigyan ka nila! Met hood level flood with this thing, tawid din!

Ah, so you do not actually need seating capacity beyond the usual five. Magkalayo pala talaga tayo ng aesthetic tastes ah, I find the 2nd gen CRV's looks really odd, reminds me of a frog actually, wherein the 3rd gen reminds me of a turtle. Totoo nga sabi ng Honda that they base their designs on animals. I hear from owners that the A/T CRV gives horrid fuel consumption, around 5-6km/L. M/T version is more liveable at around 7km/L thereabouts. In that aspect, I'd rather get the Trooper, which gets similar FC to the M/T CRV (and I'm talking about the A/T version, which we had), and drinks cheaper diesel fuel. The M/T Trooper should be a joy to drive indeed, if you think of how responsive and quick the A/T is already.

If you're gonna get a CUV, then get the Escape instead of the CRV. You can get a newer unit versus the CRV for a similar budget due to the lower resale value, the Escape's 2.3 is more powerful than the CRV's 2.0, it get's pretty decent gas mileage versus the CRV, and the chassis is simply superb in terms of solidity, comfort and handling.

Nasa sayo na yan. If you really know your car and are good in taking care of it, then the Trooper is for you, assuming that you are sure you got a good condition unit which has changed all that needs to be changed. If you are the sort of driver who thinks of your car as just a mode of transportation, steer clear of the Trooper and get the Escape instead. Based on my experience with ours, it can a surprisingly huge amount of neglect and abuse.

Regarding injectors ng 4JX1, pag napalitan na ba ok na sya, o routine na talagang masisira?
Magkano naman mag-palit kung sa labas ng casa?
