Well im entertaining the idea of getting a little Isuzu deisel car. Its an 82 I-Mark 4door with an auto. Anyone have any input on these guys? It has 130K on the clock so im thinking its good for at least another 100K.

These things were right up there with the VW Rabbit on fuel mileage. 38-48 mpg was normal for the manual transmission--I didn't know it came in an auto. If it's in good shape, go for it.

shit it looks like a nice little car and for 1500$$$ its a steal those deisles will run forever if you take care of it,it would make a nice little car to put around in the way gas prices are.



ps.then you will have to look in to biodeisle and how you make it.

That's because it IS a Gemini. If the thing was down here in the South, I'd buy it.

In the motor pic, it looks to me like Isuzu used the same timing cover plastic on that thing as they did for the 4Zx1 motors. I know it could just look similar, but that cover looks exactly like what you'd find on a 2.6L Isuzu.
