Just read in this morning's paper that the new Isuzu utes are "....hot at the moment" and that "....top models have been pushed out to an April delivery." The article goes on to say that "...it's going to turn people off." This may be true for members of the " I want it NOW" generation,but older folk will understand that there must be a very good reason for demand exceeding supply,and perhaps understand that this car is well worth waiting for? Cheers

I have seen one, I wasn't all that taken, the front looked a bit like those vehicles seen in cartoons, a bit toy'ie, "what can we do to get extra sales" etc. I think the young bucks and those with a mid life crisis will like them.

Gives one plenty of time to organise all the accessories.
I bought my roof rack & rails, & all the other crap directly from UK for my Land Rover. Arrived in less than a week.

It would be a good chance to sell your car privately beforehand,.
Better than being ripped of by those hungry dealers on their miserable trade ins.

Because of Covid 19 all popular motor vehicles, caravans and motorhomes are way behind in production into the foreseeable future.
Pre owned late model units are in high demand so your going to get "ripped off" no matter where you buy it.(-:

You'll only get "ripped off" if you pay to much or don't do your homework on what you buying

So that also means that anyone hanging out for a free red & black Casio (Isuzu) watch has to wait a while unless they buy current MUX stock??

You only get ripped off if you pay more than you are prepared to pay for it.

The market demand sets the price and both private sellers and dealers buy and sell in that market.

In terms of Isuzu, has anyone had any experience with the 1.91 diesel Isuzu 2wd Ute please?
I have a light old 1 tonne max Roadstar 11 footer pop top and was wondering how effectively such a vehicle would perform towing it?
As opposed to a 2.7 litre petrol Toyota Workmate.
From some research I have done the 1.91 diesel is very noisy as it revs high?
The 1.91 tows 2800 KG but I was wondering if a vehicle can tow such weight, does it tow it effectively?
Like the Workmate petrol and diesel both tow 2500KG, but does one tow better than the other (no doubt the diesel wins in the tow dept but they are SO MUCH more expensive and I am concerned about the long term viability of diesel in smaller vehicles e.g. Off Farm).
Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers.

I have a petrol powered car, and if I had a ute that was petrol powered, I wouldnt swap it for a diesel, their is no saving money in that equation

Correct nobody is holding a gun and forcing you to buy but some do not have the ability to say no and walk away.
Some salespeople, man mainly, make you feel guilty if you say no and walk away. Witnessed a used car salesman drain
this poor innocent old bloke out of all his savings. He made the mistake of telling him he had just retired and was in
the merchant navy all his life. $ signs overtook. This salesman sold him one car, rang him up the following week, told him he
had a better car, traded last week's car at half the price and proceeded to do this until there was no more money.
About 6 cars from memory. This was late 80's early 90s.
A bit like some people cannot hang up when they get an unsolicited phone call. They feel obliged to talk to them.

how bad you want it or how long you are prepared to wait will determine what you are prepared to pay.
