1998 Isuzu Rodeo Pre Purchase Inspection
A 1998 Isuzu with a soft top. Older 4x4s get the same full check as a new car.
A real PPI Auto job on a 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. Here is what the inspector looked at, and what the camera caught.
At a glance
- $225 for most cars, pickups and SUVs
- A certified inspector goes to the car
- Photos and a written report, the same day
- Advanced tests, like a compression test, cost extra and only run with your OK
An old 4x4 can look fine from ten feet away. This one needed a closer look.
The photos show rust coming through the paint below the soft top window. From underneath, the engine block is soaked in oil next to the steering rack. A CV axle boot has grease on the outside of it, which can mean it is leaking. A scan tool was plugged in while the dash was checked.
