Well I'm a new owner of a 1991 Daihatsu Rocky USA.I had never seen one until I came across one in an old truck lot sittin behind some old trucks.At first sight I had to have her so I called the owner the next day and bought her for 800 dollars US.She has 158000 miles on her but she hasn't got any major problems that I can see.She needs a new exhaust system and I put new front pads{brakes} on her and been driving her about 2 months now.I changed the oil and put Mobil One synthetic oil in her and she purrs like a kitten.No oil leaks or any leaks so far.She drives good and hasn't alot of power but I get about 25 miles to the gallon so she ain't bad.Her instrument panel reminds me of a Dodge Colt I used to Have maybe the same?She uses the same oil filter as my wifes Toyota Rav 4.Parts will be hard to come by here in the states so I hope she hold together.I baby all my vehicles so who knows.I just know she sure is fun to drive and I wish they still imported them.Thanks for all the posts I have read or will read and I'll keave It at that. PEACE!
