Here's a great 2000 Isuzu Amigo. Ironman Triathlon Limited Edition with very low mileage that has served me very well for 9 years! Since I have 2 vehicles and also work from home, the mileage stays pretty low. I am the second owner and have all paperwork for everything that has been mechanically performed for this vehicle since I've owned it.  The oil has been changed every 3000 miles, it has almost new Goodyear Wrangler tires, and is extremely clean inside and out!  I have running boards for it, but just never put them on and will include them as well.  I also have an extra sun roof and storage bag for same, and a soft top for it.  The soft top needs a little TLC since I haven't put the soft top on it in a while, so it's been sitting in my garage. I also have printed instructions on how to put the soft top on and take it back off.  I gotta say I love this vehicle and if they still made them in the US, I'd be getting another, they run forever, and are a blast to drive!!! It's a V6 and 4WD with all the bells and whistles for the time it was made, like a 6 disc CD with a really decent sound system. Of course, all this can be upgraded, but honestly, the sound system's sounds pretty good and my other vehicle is a 1994 RX7 twin turbo with a Bose system in it, so I've definitely heard some good systems. Also has keyless entry, power windows and mirrors. The a/c and heat work great as well.

Since this is the Limited Ed Ironman Triathlon, it has a beefed up suspension and stabilization system.  The engine runs like a top and as far as I know everything works perfectly on this vehicle. It just passed NJ inspection (I live near Mt. Laurel, NJ in case you want to take it for a drive) in June and here are the only issues with the vehicle, which are not really issues, but worth mentioning:  When the tank gets below one quarter full, the "check engine" light comes on, when you put gas in the vehicle, it readjusts itself and goes off.  I've had this checked out and have found that the fuel tank sensor needs to be replaced, but never saw the need to spend the money on it since I know what it is and the light always goes out after I put gas in her.  If you want to put a new sensor in, that would take care of the problem....I just never did. I just considered it one of her little "quirks". The other issue is that one of the anti-lock sensors broke on the front driver's side and after a $619 repair (I have all copies of repairs done on this vehicle and well as the large mechanical workbook for it) because the routers and calipers had to be redone because when the sensor broke it chewed into the wheel and since it had to be repaired on one side, had to be fixed on the other as well. So that being said, it now has regular brakes which work perfectly fine, just doesn't have anti-lock brakes.  This is also an easy solution, if you want to spend the money to do it....they sell the parts for it on ebay actually and the shop where I've always had all my repairs done told me they'd be happy to put the sensor assembly on, if I provide the parts.  I have all the info if you would want to do that, or if you are mechanically inclined yourself, it is something you could do yourself after you get the parts.  But the vehicle drives just fine, stops just fine so after spending $619, I didn't really feel like spending more. Also, as shown in one of the photos, the black detailing has started to come off on the driver's side of the Amigo. I'm sure it can be repaired as well.  Other than these issues, the truck runs great and has lots of life left in her!

The interior is in great condition, no tears on the seats or anything. Guess the front mats could use a shampoo, but otherwise the interior is in great shape.  I take good cars of my vehicles!  The exterior is also in great condition, but I didn't wax it this spring, so a waxing would just make it look better.  No real rust issues, just a tiny bit under the bottom rim near the back of the side panel.  You cannot really see it unless you bend down and look underneath.  Otherwise, no rust problems, no dents and no scratches to speak of.  All in all, this Amigo is in amazing shape with super low mileage.

PLEASE BE AWARE I HAVE THIS VEHICLE LISTING LOCALLY AND ON OTHER SITES, so if you'd like to come over and take her for a ride, please let me know.  I reserve the right to end this auction at any time because it is listed other places, so if you are interested PLEASE GET IN TOUCH. I have a feeling she will sell quickly. If I forgot to mention anything, please ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE, as I may have forgotten something. Of course, this Amigo is SOLD AS IS, but honestly, to my knowledge, there are no other issues other than what I've mentioned, and it has always been very well maintained. You get many years of fun with her, just like I did!

Junkyard Gem: 1998 Isuzu Oasis

Sun, Jun 16 2019

When I'm crawling through a big self-service wrecking yard (as I do at least once a week) in search of interesting discarded vehicles, the top of my "look for" list always includes weird and obscure examples of badge engineering, the weirder and more obscure the better. So far the Nissan-made Suzuki Equator has eluded me, but I have managed to shoot such junkyard badge-engineering oddities as the Mitsubishi Precis (Hyundai Excel), Acura SLX (Isuzu Trooper), Saab 9-2X (Subaru Impreza) and Saturn Astra (Opel Astra). Isuzu's dire need for a minivan in the late 1990s led to a deal with Honda to sell the first-generation Odyssey as the Oasis (even as the Trooper became the Honda Passport). Few bought the Oasis, but I found one in a Denver yard a few months back. Pure Honda throughout, down to the VTEC badges on the engine. This is the 2.3-liter F23 four, rated at 150 horsepower for 1998. Sold new in Denver, will be crushed in Denver. Though Americans bought many a Geo or Chevy built by Isuzu during the 1980s and 1990s (not to mention the big-selling Isuzu-made Chevy LUV truck of the 1970s), the Isuzu brand never really caught on over here. By 2009, Isuzu was gone. The first-generation Odyssey was well-made and efficient, but it was designed for the Japanese home market and thus was too small for most American van shoppers in 1998 (most of whom were moving to SUVs around that time, anyway). You could fit a lot of people and gear in this small-footprint machine, but that was more important in crowded Japanese cities than in sprawling American suburbia. Collectible? Not at all. But an interesting piece of automotive history. I can't find any Oasis ads online, so let's watch a JDM commercial for the first-gen Odyssey, featuring the Addams Family.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum Sport Coupe

Wed, Aug 23 2023

Before General Motors created the Geo brand for cars built or designed by its overseas partners, the Chevrolet Division put its badges on U.S.-market versions of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter, the Suzuki Cultus and the Isuzu Gemini. Those cars were known as the Nova, the Sprint and the Spectrum, and all became Geos starting with the 1989 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the last Chevy Spectrums ever sold, found in a Denver self-service yard a few months ago. Midway through 1988, the Chevrolet Spectrum abruptly became the Geo Spectrum and was assigned to the 1989 model year. This car was built in May 1988, making it one of the very last of the pre-Geo Spectrums. The Chevrolet/Geo Spectrum was available as a four-door sedan and as a three-door hatchback, from the 1985 through 1989 model years. For 1988 only, a Spectrum Sport Coupe package, featuring some trim upgrades and these rad decals, could be had on the hatchback. This car was essentially identical to its Isuzu-badged counterpart, the I-Mark. In 1988, the MSRP for the cheapest possible Chevy Spectrum hatchback (the stripped-down Spectrum Express) was $6,495, while its somewhat better-equipped I-Mark twin started at $7,439 (that's $17,128 and $19,617 in 2023 dollars). Meanwhile, the base Hyundai Excel hatchback listed at $5,295 and the Yugo GV cost a hilarious $4,199 ($13,963 and $10,941 in today's money). Power came from this 1.5-liter SOHC four-cylinder, rated at 70 horsepower. A turbocharged version with 110 horsepower was available as well. You could get an automatic transmission in the Spectrum, but this car has the base five-speed manual. This car didn't get the optional air conditioning, but at least it has the traditional Isuzu HVAC control icons featuring blow-dried hair and high-heeled dominatrix boots. Just over 170,000 miles on the odometer. Someone installed a pretty good (for the 1980s) Blaupunkt Charlotte CR148 cassette deck in the dash. This was a necessity if you wanted to enjoy full appreciation of the music of the era. The Spectrum is special! It's as slick as city rain. "I didn't spend a lot of money but with my Spectrum it looks like I did." Joe Isuzu mocked Toyota salesmen when pitching the I-Mark. As was nearly always the case during the 1980s, the JDM ads for the same car were much more fun. They should have recreated this commercial with Spectrums.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
