    Default 3000gt for an Isuzu Rodeo?

    Straight up trade. I am questioning if I should trade my Rodeo for a 3000gt.

    1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT base model
    vs.
    1999 Isuzu Rodeo

    Both are 5 speed
    Both need an oxygen sensor
    Rodeo is in really good condition inside and out
    Rodeo has 140,***
    3000GT is in okay edition, needs some work but runs perfect.
    3000GT has 145,***

    So should I keep the Rodeo or trade for the 3000GT and please tell me why.

    I think the base model that year came with the SOHC engine which is gay.

    No. The 3000GT is one of the biggest failures ever.

    Almost 4000lb car with 200hp? No thanks. Nothing special about a two seater that sucks so hard. VR4 or no care. lol

    Either way, 218hp isn't going to help 3800lbs get around too well. The trooper is atleast spacious. LOL

    What's there not to understand? Ever heard of right wheel drive?

    It's either right hand drive or rear wheel drive. There's no such thing as right wheel drive.

    Well technically if the car has an open differential, and a short shaft on the right side of the car, like d-series civics, the right wheel is the main one that turns. So, it would be right wheel drive.

    3000gt was based on the same chassis as a mini van. Dead serious. SO it a fail.

    What about their resell value. KBB values my car at $1,500 but there's 3 people that already offered $3,500 for it and the 3kGT's value is at $4,100. So would it be worth it to trade and then sell the 3kGT or?

    All jokes aside, I decided to stick with the Rodeo until I find some other decent car. Maybe even a Honda

    4,000lbs? Where in the hell do you get your info? Shit, even my VR-4 was only 3650lbs (after I changed out the exhaust).

    A 1996 base 3000GT is around 3,250lbs.
