Message	Rodeo is Isuzu???? Isuzu is so cheap they dont even advertise, they have to offer steep discounts to sell their vehicles so their Parts & Service may be premium priced. Relative to 300ZXs low entry(ie. used car) prices and therefore initially high price performance, their maintenance costs are expensive. But when compared to other quality used sports cars(eg. Porsche, BMW) they are significantly cheaper. I dont know who Zs maintenance costs compare to Supras, but I'll bet Zs are cheaper due to the Supras higher resales prices & popularity.
