Looking at an '99 Rodeo, 5 speed Manual, 3.2L, LS trim. Around 140k mi on it.

Pictures looks like it has 4WD (actuator switch to the left of the wheel). EDIT- Confirmed its only the RWD version. Must just have a place holder for the switch standard

Considering going an looking at it. Understand parts may be limited, but plenty of generic available? Just have a good general mechanic to stay on top of maintenance right? The manual transmission should avoid some of the largest problems it had.

Going to inspect the undercarriage/rear for rust

The alternative is I go look at a 2013 Subaru Forrester, but I like my cars pretty spartan. My last 3 cars were a 2006 Jeep Wrangler, manual everything drove for 18 years, and a 2003 Ford Escape and a 2002 Daihatsu Terios while overseas- so I have a penchant for that era of motor vehicle.

Just wondering if there is anything in particular to be warry of or should look for in a report, or if parts have truly become a burden not worth taking on.

And if its not the 4WD, and just RWD, is it even worth it?

Format- 1250 GP, no skill packages/tiers, no star players and no skill stacking, secondary skills or stat increases. 20k for primary skills, 30k for elite.

Staff: 3 Rerolls

Hypno gaze doing alot of heavy lifting here, but I feel that's pretty typical.

Alternatives I'm considering:

-just doing alot of Pro lol. Let the natural stats work for me.

-Swap Cloudburster for Accurate or Cannoneer.

-Swap Cloudburster and Jump Up for Hail Mary and Diving Catch.

-Swap Frenzy for Block. This would cost me wrestle on the Thrall, and I'd pick up an asst. coach.

-Swap Wrestle for Kick.

-Risk 3RR and drop leader for something else, probably passing related.

Just looking for thoughts, recommendations, and general feedback
