Original owner from April 99 with 119,000 every day miles. Had the urge the other day for something new, but alas that passed again.
Original Owner. Purchase in Nov 2001. 111500 miles, and no major problems. CD and windows still work, and I got 18.2 mpg on my last tank. I've never been off-roading (that video on youtube was pure fabrication.) Daily driver...90 miles round trip. Mobil1 oil and filter since the first oil change. Looks, runs, and performs as good as new.

Dave (Cyrk) and Carl (Carlymac) haven't chimed in but their 99s should be close if not the oldest still owned. I know Carl ordered his before they were available. Neither have posted much lately. Plus Grandpa Bob still have his 99 I believe (his was the prototype for the Alpine supercharger kit).

"Metaphors be with you"
I bought my '01 Dragon new in '02 but sold to Velvis a few years ago with about 45K miles. 2nd owner of our IronMan which had 95K miles at purchase and is now at about 145K miles. The Ebony has about 47K miles, and I think I'm the 3rd owner there as I don't recall if Velvis (the PO) was 1st or 2nd.
Over 20 years of Isuzu enjoyment...
Last I heard GrandPa Bob sold his VX a couple of years back.
Peace.
