$5.5K OBO. The UNICORN of isuzu trooper. No trades as we are moving and don't have the parking. 177K miles. Clean CA Title. Name is mike and can be reached at 7147070388
These were made between 1993 and 1995. I don’t believe more than a couple thousand were ever produced. Took me forever to find one and I have only ever seen 2 or 3 ever for sale. Gets lots of compliments. Everybody who has ever wanted one always says the same thing, that they love the cartoonish proportions. Purchased from a gentlemen who said he found it in a barn in North San Diego County. The trooper looks to be all original, accident and rust free. Neato headlight wipers and folding mirrors work. Not bad for a vehicle built a quarter century ago!
3.2L V6 runs well. Stops great and the short wheelbase makes it easy to maneuver on and off road. Has aftermarket 15’s with 31” tires. Appears to have a mild t-bar crank / lift. I was planning to put some time into it and address all the minor issues but have too much to focus on with a home sale/purchase. Will come as pictured with thule bike carriers, Yakima cargo box and load bars, Rotopax fuel cans.
Here are the issues;

Here are the issues;
- Leaks oil out the valve cover gaskets
- AC does not work. Have not investigated what it will take to get it working.
- During the 1st start of the day, has intermittent ‘firm’ shift from Park to Drive when very cold out. My limited research on Planetisuzu tells me to change out the trans fluid as a 1st step, then look to replace shift solenoid(s) 2nd. The condition has not worsened in the several months I have owned it. The vehicle shifts great whilst driving and every subsequent P to D shift through the rest of the day is normal.
- Central locking works but key to unlock doors only works on the passenger side.
- Previous owner removed the sideskirts/mudflaps. I have them and will include in the sale
- Dings/dents consistent with age/mileage
- A couple holes in the front driver seat
- Passenger door extender thingy needs to be riveted in place as it makes a clicking noise when the door is opened
- Front bumper could stand a repaint
- Access Panel for rear 'cubby' is currently secured with tape as the tab to snap it in place has broken off
- Center console lid has also suffered same hinge failure as a result of plastic fatigue/brittleness
- Cold start belt squeal
