New Rocky Owner
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2003 7:37 am
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!
so if u have any questions, pls feel free to ask an dont worry about feelin dumb... i'm jus now starting to climb out of that myself... an i've been recently bittin by the mod bug.. so be warned!
