Buying the 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Isuzu Rodeo for sale by us right now. Here is the 2002 Isuzu Rodeo for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 125 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, suspension and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the specs mean
The 2.2L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, so budget about 39 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $20.31 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Who the Rodeo suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the Rodeo tells you more than any review. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Questions first?
