These were made between 1993 and 1995. I don't believe more than a couple thousand were ever produced. Took me forever to find one and I have only ever seen 2 or 3 ever for sale. Gets lots of compliments. Everybody who has ever wanted one always says the same thing, that they love the cartoonish proportions. Purchased from a gentlemen who said he found it in a barn in North San Diego County. The trooper looks to be all original, accident and rust free. Headlight wipers and folding mirrors work, not bad for a vehicle built a quarter century ago!
3.2L V6 runs well. Stops great and the short wheelbase makes it easy to maneuver on and off road. Has aftermarket 15's with 31" tires. Appears to have a mild torsion-bar crank / lift. I was planning to put some time into it and address all the minor issues but have too much to focus on with a home sale/purchase. Will come as pictured with thule bike carriers, Yakima cargo box and load bars, Rotopax fuel cans.
Here are the issues;
*Leaks from valve cover gaskets
*AC does not work. Have not investigated what it will take to get it working.
*During the 1st start of the day, has intermittent 'firm' shift from Park to Drive when very cold out. My limited research on Planetisuzu tells me to change out the trans fluid as a 1st step, then look to replace shift solenoid(s) 2nd. The condition has not worsened in the several months I have owned it. The vehicle shifts great whilst driving and every subsequent P to D shift through the rest of the day is normal.
*Central locking works but key to unlock doors only works on the passenger side.
*Previous owner removed the sideskirts/mudflaps. I have them and will include in the sale
*Dings/dents consistent with age/mileage
*A couple holes in the front driver seat
*Passenger door extender thingy needs to be riveted in place as it makes a clicking noise when the door is opened
*Front bumper could stand a repaint
*Passenger window can only be operated from passenger side. Master switch from driver side inop.
*Access Panel for rear 'cubby' is currently secured with tape as the tab to snap it in place has broken off
*Center console lid has also suffered same hinge failure as a result of plastic fatigue/brittleness
*Cold start belt squeal
Thanks for reading. Happy to work with out of state buyers and their shippers. I have sold 100's of niche/specialty cars and motorcycles on ebay and maintain perfect feedback. Feel free to call or message with questions.

On Jun-23-18 at 16:42:44 PDT, seller added the following information:had an unfortunate incident while using underground parking resulting in damage to the cargo box. bike trays and cargo box are no longer part of the sale. the cross bars and footpacks are still included. apologies for any inconvenience and understand if you'd like to retract your bid.
On Jun-27-18 at 09:12:08 PDT, seller added the following information:had a CEL come on and go off yesterday. brought to my mechanic and he diagnosed as possible faulty EGR. his suggestion, since the vehicle sits for long periods of time (2 weeks between drives as we have a few other cars), is to take the vehicle on a long highway drive to clear the carbon deposits triggering the CEL (italian tune-up). we have a new EGR valve on order. The part will be included with the car.
