After dealing with weirdos and scammers this 99 Isuzu trooper showed up on market place.
Guy seemed ok, he pointed out a few minor issues and what not. Test drove it and it shifted good and ran good, hot heat,cold AC.
Sounded ok. According to the paperwork I found it had 8k on the oil though. Looking down the oil fill hole I can see bare aluminum,not piles of sludge.
It has 5 nearly new BF Goodrich tires bought from Costco 7000miles ago. Date code on the one I checked was 34th month of 2024.
It's a 4x4 and the CV boots on the front axles are good and not slinging green grease.
Paid $2100 for It and drove it home. Seems like everything works so far like the electric locks and windows,head lights,tail and brake lights work . Tags are up to date which is an important thing here as fines for late registration can be in the $1000's real fast .
No Carfax record of accidents on it.
I picked up a microguard oil filter and I had some 5w-30 maxlife I put in it. Checked the front diff oil and it's full. Will check the rest of the fluid when the storm is over .
I do not have any info on the timing belt which Is in the back of my mind.
Currantly has 229,360 miles on the odometer. Looks like I can use pretty much any oil viscosity.
Sorry about the pics I took in the dark.
