The Rodeo generations we buy
The Rodeo was Isuzu's volume SUV through the 1990s, launched for 1991 with a second generation for 1998 that ran to 2004. Most carry the 3.2L V6 with rear- or four-wheel drive; the two-door Rodeo Sport (the revived Amigo) sold alongside from 2001. The Rodeo's most famous role is a borrowed one: Honda sold it as the first Passport, built in the same Indiana plant, so the two trucks are mechanical twins with different badges.
The Rodeo's twin matters in Orange County: state plainly that it is the Honda Passport's mechanical twin, because that is how many buyers know the truck. Note the timing belt history on the V6 and whether it is 2WD or 4WD. A clean, running Rodeo is wanted even at age, per the same rule as the Passport.

What we buy — your Rodeo included
- Japanese vehicles of any age — Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.
- Fixable issues welcome — Battery, glass, panels, and exterior damage from the 12-point checklist — each priced in plainly.
- Most 2010-and-newer cars — Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.
- Trucks of any age — Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.
Where the line is
We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:
- No working key
- Blown engine
- Shot transmission
- Major structural damage
- Heavily stripped
- Trash-filled or severely neglected
Common Rodeo problems we still buy
3.2L V6 oil consumption
The 3.2L V6 is documented for drinking oil as it ages, through ring and valve-seal wear, and engines run low between changes suffer for it. Owners who tire of checking the dipstick weekly — or who face the engine work — sell the truck.
Timing belt and water pump service
The V6's timing belt is a scheduled job that also drives the water pump, and deferred belts eventually fail or take the pump with them. On a truck worth a few thousand dollars, the belt quote alone decides whether the owner keeps it or lists it.
ABS module and brake faults
Rodeos accumulate ABS modulator and sensor faults that light the dash and, on some trucks, give inconsistent pedal feel. Diagnosis time on an orphaned brand adds up, and brake-system quotes are a common last straw.
Frame and underbody rust on salt-state trucks
Rodeos that spent their lives in road-salt states can carry serious frame rust, serious enough that Isuzu ran a corrosion program for the worst cases. California trucks are usually sound — but a rusted import to the state is worth little, and owners sell when the frame fails inspection.
Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.
Rodeo seller questions
Can I sell a Rodeo with a lien or a lost title?
Yes to both — name the lender or pick the title situation that matches yours in the form. Complicated paperwork is part of what we handle, and we explain the correct next step before scheduling.
What Rodeo years do you buy?
We buy Isuzu Rodeo vehicles across the 1991–2004 range we commonly see, and we will look at older ones case by case. Condition matters more than the year — a high-mileage Rodeo that starts, drives, and has a working key is exactly what the form is for.
What happens on pickup day?
Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted for your Rodeo. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys — and the tow is free in Orange County.
My Rodeo has 3.2l v6 oil consumption. Will you still buy it?
In most cases, yes — that is a known Rodeo issue and it is priced into the offer from the condition answers you submit, not discovered at pickup. Describe it honestly and the offer already reflects it.
