Buying the 1998 Isuzu Trooper
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1998 Isuzu Trooper for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. The 1998 Isuzu Trooper for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain to know here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
By the EPA's combined rating of 15.7 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 47 litres. Every 100 km costs about $24.34 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Trooper
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Practical details
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
A longer test drive
A week with the Trooper answers more than any brochure. If the Trooper is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Which one to look for
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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$4,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $243.40 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $24.34 in fuel.
