Used Isuzu Rodeo Sport for Sale in Harrisburg, IL

except for transmission fluid check, it's ok. there's no dip stick to check your transmission fluid. need to go underneath the car and open the screw to the transmission fluid. two screws. one to fill and one to drain. if you need to add fluid, you need some sort of pump to add the transmission fluid from below. problematic.

Emailed them about a vehicle and they returned with answer within a few days

The Isuzu Rodeo Sport is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. So good, in fact, that I bought two of them. Way back in late 2000, I really wanted a Jeep. I was taking regular road trips for work (I’m an efficiency/ business practices consultant) and had the dream of the open road, wind in my hair’straight Route 66 stuff. Sadly, comfort-wise, Jeeps can be a quite a beating on long trips. Go figure. In my search for a replacement, I randomly came across the newly-released Isuzu Rodeo Sport (which was just a newly-named, manned-up Amigo). I immediately loved it. It drove great, handled well, felt solid, and, with the removable sunroof and the folding soft-top, it’s like a Jeep but without the lower back injury. Fast forward to 2005: I drove it to roughly 135,000 without any real issues beyond having a transmission overhaul (cost about $900) around 110,000 miles that I, likely, brought on myself via neglect. I kept up with oil changes every 5K and a few light maintenance things, but that was it. However, while I loved it, life had taught me, at that point, that vehicles tend to implode, if not explode, as they approach 150,000 miles, so I sold it to a family friend who didn’t have my reservations about high-mileage vehicles for a steal of $3500 (I paid $20 K). Fast forward to 2010: I ran into the family friend and asked about the RS. They told me that they had reached nearly 200,000 miles, with only normal upkeep costs, and had sold it to another family member for the same $3500 price (Ugh!). After talking with them, and a few years of driving an Audi and suffering the upkeep/maintenance costs of a ’high-dollar-premium-gas-only’ car, I found another RS ’ the exact same as my original, just a different exterior color- with shockingly low miles. Fast forward to 2014: I have now driven my second RS to 156,000. I just incurred the only costly repair I’ve had with the new one, a water pump/timing belt switch that ran me $650.

This is my 4th car buying experience at Ladd Hanford in Lebanon, PA, and have been treated extremely well each and every time. I have purchased 2 used vehicles from them, 1 new Jeep Patriot purchased and most recently was my new 2016 Jeep Compass lease. They have always gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and provide a pleasant buying environment. Scott Keith was the salesman that sold me the Patriot and has been "my guy" ever since; I actually waited to come in to the dealership to shop for my latest Jeep until he was actually there. He has consistently gone above and beyond in service and professionalism, and has always been very knowledgeable on the vehicles that I have looked at. The Ladd Hanford team has always been very helpful and friendly, whether it was the sales, service or finance departments.
