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

[fullmetal]

fellow tsikoteers! patulong naman.

iniisip ko kasing magpalit ng tsikot, ito yung nakita kong SUV na affordable at maporma.

2000 Isuzu Trooper M/T, local unit. 100,000+ kms, 425k yung asking pero sagad daw niya 410k.

Eto yung questions ko:
1.) worth it ba siya sa price niya?
2.) ano-ano ang mga dapat tignan sa tsikot?
3.) more or less, mga magkano ang maintenance nito?
4.) fuel consumption?

thanks in advance! kung may masusuggest din kayong ibang SUV, post lang

Hinde ba yan yung Trooper na may injector problems?

Ayaw mo ng Fieldmaster paps?

bagong palit lang daw yung injectors at clutch assembly eh sir, kung kaya lang na fieldmaster yun talaga ang gusto ko pero currently ang choices ko eh cr-v 2nd gen, ford escape and trooper.

Ewan ko ha pero kabado talaga 'ko diyan sa Trooper na sinasabi mo, eh.

A family friend owns a trooper & an escape. Tried driving both.

Mas gusto ko dalhin yung Escape. 3.0V6 nga pala so medyo masakit sa bulsa kasi nag 5.5km/L siya sa EDSA. Haha.

Yung trooper naman, ok rin. Pero hindi ko sure kung same engine siya nung sa 2000 Trooper. Skyroof edition kasi yung sa friend ko. 2nd hand din niya binili from a car dealer, although kilala niya kasi yung dealer kaya hinde sila niloko.

Since binili niya, walang problema regarding internals. Fresh pa kasi nung binili niya yung unit, sira nga lang yung isang LCD monitor sa headrest but that's nothing.

Trooper M/T 4x4? That's pretty rare locally. 3.0L engine + M/T means excellent performance and much improved FC over the A/T. The Trooper is a nice car. Keep it well maintained and it'll serve you well. Make sure the injectors have been changed, there's nothing wrong with the sensors and everything's clean before you consider buying.

medjo kabado nga din ako sa trooper eh sir, kasi mayroong trooper dati yung tito at pinsan ko. parehong a/t at pareho ding sakit sa ulo, parati ngang sinasabi ng pinsan ko na mas matibay pa yung tamaraw fx nilang 2nd hand nabili kaysa sa brandnew sunroof edition trooper nila eh.

akala ko nga sir imported eh, may linabas din pala silang local na m/t. bagong palit lang daw yung injectors at clutch assembly, ano-ano pang mga parts ang dapat kong tignan at icheck sir? thanks in advance!

Alamin mo muna kung anong makina yung nasa modelo ng trooper na kukunin mo kasi may sirain na trooper at meRon matibay..ang alam ko yung medyo bago bago ata yung may topak....kahit bagong palit yung sirain part, injectors nga ata yun, masisira uli yan kasi sirain nga...hanapin mo yung modelo na bulletproof yung makina.

There was a 3.0L 4x4 that came out (telltale signs were the darker tail light lenses and bumper mounted rear light); is this the 3.0 or 3.1L diesel? If it's the 3.0L, medyo problematic yung model na yan if you backread other threads; if it's the 3.1L diesel 4x4, thats good (and that's the only Trooper model i would actually consider).

The 3.0L 4x4 looks like this at the rear:




The 3.1L turbo diesel looks something like this one (At least with the rims but it still has the standard colored tail light):




410K last price? I'd still put my money on a Patrol Safari and Pajero.

Yep to be in the safe side mag pajero ka nalang....ang pagkakaalamko sa trooper pag nagloko, daan libo daw ang gastusin sa casa..

Parts kaya alin mas marami? Alam ko cheaper to maintain talaga yung 3.1 vs 3.0 trooper pero mas lesser maintenance pa rin ng Paj gen 2/2.5.
