I have for sale my 1997 Isuzu Vehicross.
I live in Mount Gambier SA, but I travel to adelaide a few times a year.
Its a 3 door suv, with a 3.2 litre V6, with 160kw. done 50,000 kms.
It's got an auto gearbox (only came out in auto), normally driving only the rear wheels, TOD (torque on demand) can be selected in high range at speed, adjusting the amount of torque given to the front wheels, depending on a multitude of factors. Low range with all wheels locked in 4wd can be selected only at standstill.
A major service has just been completed last week. even though it has only done 50k, it is a couple of years old, so better safe then sorry. All major belts have been replaced including serpentine and timing belts. Auto transmission (and transfer case) oils have been replaced also with a new transmission filter and fuel filter. Both front and rear diff oils have been replaced. New NGK iridium spark plugs. Front brake pads replaced about 3 or so months ago. There is also a k&n air filter, but that has been in the car for almost 12 months.
Body wise the car is in good nick, as far as i know it has not been in any accident. The bottom of the car is a type of plastic moulding, normally this is a dark grey (unpainted), but ours is colour coded similar to the rest of the car, I have not done it, but i assume it was an option, as a very small number i have seen on the internet have it painted also.
Mechanically the car is fine. I have found out that most of the mechanicals are either rodeo or jackaroo. There is some Vehicross only stuff on it too.
On the road, it drives like a really good car. The ride is very firm, it has kyb competition spec shocks and there is only an inch or so of suspension travel, all of this is standard. Brakes are vented disc front and rear. With the v6 it really pulls for a suv. The exhaust is standard, but it sounds real tough.
All electrics work. The rear visibility is poor, because the spare wheel is in the door (space saver). to compensate for this, it has a colour rear view camera factory mounted in the door (the US version did not get this) and a clarion 7 inch screen near the gear stick shows the picture. dvd and playstation can also be used on it. Will be including $700 Clarion deck cd mp3 player, speakers and 4 channel amp built in its own fake floor box in the back.
There is only a few in australia, I think it could be as little as 25, but i am not sure. I have not seen another on the road in 12 months of owning it.
I'm asking $29,000 ono for it. I'm just about to build my first house and this is the only car my partner and i have, I'd like a more pratical car like a 4 door r34 or new rex.
