I already own a '96 Isuzu Rodeo manual 4x4 and would like another in the household for better maintience and upkeep.

I found a ad in the paper for a '96 Isuzu Rodeo, 138k miles, automatic transmission. From what she said it is a beigeish color, very little rust, runs great, etc. The problems she did say it had was the back doors dont open, she said she researched this and its known for Isuzu's and is the lock linkage, estimated at about $150. I can fix that myself, if I can find what I need to do it, if you know what im talking about here please explain. Also she said the front bumper would need to be replaced and that was about $20. How easy is it to get the parts for the doors and fix the problem?

Also, I love stick, is there a way to swap the transmissions to a stick from auto? Any idea on what that'd cost? Thanks for reading, I should have pics sent to me tomorrow of the Rodeo.
