used car of the day 1988 isuzu 4x4 pickup

Today we bring you a 1988 Isuzu 4x4 that will let you go camping.

This one has a camper/bed built into the pickup bed. It also has a bunch of new parts, including the radiator, starter, coil, alternator, flywheel, and lift kit. That lift kit includes Rancho shocks and leaf packs.

The engine has been fully rebuilt, as well.

This one has a 2.6-liter four-cylinder and a manual transmission. Our seller says the A/C works, as does the heat.

It also appears that there's a custom setup for carrying a surfboard around.

If you're looking to live the beach-bum lifestyle, you can pick this one up for $8,950. It will not surprise you to know that this rig is for sale in Santa Barbara, California.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  David Leisure is still alive and kicking at 73 years old. It looks like his Hollywood career has died down after decades of him being one of the "hey...it's that guy!" in shows and movies.

thats wierd. you dont rebuilt a motor and then sell it.. unless that rebuild was a backyard hone and ring job. also the 88 did not (in the US) come with an option for the 2.6 so this may be a swap which raises more flags unless this is a AU import

Autozilla This 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI is a great find, especially with its original parts and restored interior. The manual transmission and rust-free body make it even more appealing for classic car enthusiasts. If you're looking to keep it running smoothly or need spare parts for your own project, check out Autozilla for a wide range of OEM and aftermarket parts!
Nrd515 As clueless as the car companies seem to be at this point in time, even they know people hate even the idea of subscription service. It's a total, "Nope, not even going to consider this car, you can bite me!" thing with me, and apparently a lot of other people.
Calrson Fan I owned a 93 compact Toytota. Bought new after looking at used as the resale value was so stupid high on Toy trucks at the time that new was the only way to go. V6, extended cab & 4WD were the only way to option these small trucks so they had some capability/utility. One optioned like this Mazda is pretty useless.
Picard234 I'm not sure I'm going to rush in to trade my Soul for this. Interior does look pretty nice.
VoGhost Hmmm, Stellantis is failing and Stellantis has essentially no EVs to sell. Coincidence? I think not.
