Unless I total (i.e. roll it) the VX, I plan on keeping it forever. There is nothing out there that picts my interest that will do the stuff I want/like to do in it. If the unimaginable (well maybe not to some that have witnessed my offroading) happens I will probably buy a well built older toyota truck (on tons and 40's) that I can wheel the snot out of and drive it home afterwards.
I wouldnt want an X6. It doesnt do anything very well. For that price I would get a nice used AWD car for on road and a beater for a trail rig.

I've been eyeing a c5 z06 or a c4 zr1 for a new dayly driver...
Another VX. That is my plan.
I recently said farewell to me VX and got inyo a 2005 Infiniti FX35. Since I can't/don't do any off roading, it was a great move on my part....
There is just NO comparison in the ride between full frame (VX) and uni-body construction (FX)... plus, I love the Nissan V6 engine.
Luna...did your VX stay in Az? Did you tell them about the sight?
well, I traded it in at Chapman Chevrolet and I'm sure it went straight to a wholesaler. I believe VXKat already found the ad from that dealer.
To answer your actual question....no, I didn't pass on this site since I didn't sell to a one on one buyer.
Funny...I bought my VX from Chapman Chevy! :D
I don't have plans to part with it..... but if I did....
Merc G Wagon
Even considered a Jeep Mojave or Rubicon to toy with :confused: :yeso:
Chances are, it would be a Subaru Forester XT Sport though. 3" lift, bigger shoes, nice all terrain package/modding. Tunable tturbocharged engine.... A project that appeals to me VERY much. :bgwb:
Hang on to your VX just a little while longer and go for this:

The next vehicle in my queue is a 2011 Ford F-150 Raptor Crew cab. All back, with red and black interior.
I hope I don't have to think about replacing the VX for a loooong time. I looked at Grand Cherokees in years past, but every time I checked out a used one I got that "all used up / never been maintained" vibe. I'd consider an FJ Cruiser. I recently saw the Trail Teams Edition - love that Army Green.
Another VX would still be at the top of my list.
2011 Volkswagen Race Touareg 3 Qatar
It depends on what I can afford when that time comes & what my wants & needs dictate especially if gas is $6 a gallon by then.
I was diggin the H4 Concept...but, that won't happen!
If I part with her in the next 5 years and gas is still reasonable and I'm still stuck here in the snowbelt region, I could see me in a Ford Raptor....possibly a used one.
If I can't swing that purchase...possibly a decked out FJ Cruiser either new or slightly used. I only like them when they are seriously modded though. Stock ones are a dime a dozen around here. Possibly a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon modded or G.C. but, quite soured on Jeeps since my G.C. had quality issues as well as my brother's '04 G.C.
If I ever get to move out of this god-for-saken snow belt (retirement or job loss) and possibly move to California or Florida....I could see myself tooling around in only one vehicle and it would more than likely be a musclecar or Corvette. I really like how today's technology allows you to own a daily driver that is in the 400 to 500 hp range and yet is totally civilized for day to day living. It just doesn't handle snowstorms!
But, I had the VX's rocker panels restored and now have her chassis oiled spring & fall so that day may be prolonged out alot further into the future!
