Probably not a big forum for 4x4s, but just bought a 2005 RA 4x4 space cab, 3.0 diesel.
Its not perfect, but neither was the price. Any other owners on here???
Plan on doing some light 4x4 work, fishing etc. Mainly work bus, diesel is 21 cents cheaper down our way than 98, so will save a bit in fuel costs.

Just bought a 2003 myself. 3.5L 4x4 dual cab.
They have known issues but like you said, good price. Seems to go alright.

Use mine for my commute (no way I'm parking my VF SSV-R at the train station!) and looking to do some camping/fishing too.

Am happy with mine so far(its not the 1st Rodeo I have had), getting 9.6klms/ltr around town, so cant complain about that.
Fitted new shockers(KYB Scorchers), old ones were shot. Playing around with lights at the moment, have driving lights, and cheap Ebay light bar, which isnt too bad for $100.
Gunna cut 200mm off rear of tray, just too long for my liking. That will bring it back to 2mtrs, so plenty still.
Will load some pics when I work out how to resize them.

Latest update, sold it Friday. Always wanted another SWB GQ Patrol, and found one in my home town( actually a Ford Maverick), one owner, 147,000ks.
Couldnt help myself, so in with the shorty, out with the Rodeo.
