Quote:There's a comedian that does a skit equating buying a rental car to marrying a hooker...both might look good, but you're going to end up with something that a lot of other people have used the hell out of!!

 

I bought a used Isuzu trooper back in 2001 from the local Isuzu dealership (remember when those were around?).  It was a 99 model with only 12k miles on it, and it was 2/3 the price of a brand new model.  After driving it for a few days, I came across the "National" sticker inside the door post just above the GVW placard.

 

I got 150k miles out of that 4x4, with nothing but scheduled maintenance and the occasional EGR valve.  Maybe I just got lucky, but it sure didn't seem trashed.
