After 9 years of over-protective, throw-my-body-over-it, treat it special care with a few mods done along the way; and, after paying original owner ludicrous price....she's now paying ME back as my daily beater!
I've gotten over whether VX's will ever be worth anything....I'm gonna run her 'til she dies (or starts costing too much to keep on the road) and move on to a new/used Raptor :)
It is a matter of time, before the (VX), is discovered by serious collector. This vehicle is too,too rare to be ignored for much longer. Hopefully, after the economy bounces back, this wonderful vehicle will get it'S proper attention in the resale market.
Agreed! The supply of low-mile (under 75K), no-salt, unCOBBLED (sorry guys, but there ARE people out there for whom a lifted, big wheel/tire, cut-cladding VX is a deal-breaker), straight, clean, stock, garage-kept since new VX's is ALREADY almost dried up! By contrast, go find a similar 1980's Jeep Wrangler if you CAN, and they made a blue million of those! While I don't particularly care about resale $'s on mine, I would and AM on the lookout for another like mine (described above); ain't many...
I'm reminded of 1958-1960 Gibson Les Paul Sunburst guitars. They made ~1,700 of 'em; 'cause I'm an "old guy", I remember dudes cobbling these guitars up in the '70's & '80s - changing out electronics, throwing away plastic parts (a pickguard alone is now $10K IF you can find one!), and even hogging out the bodies to fit all manner of "effects" or different bridges to them. Now the stock ones are worth $300K+, and the cobbled ones are worth ~$90K-...:(
But hey - party on! It's only a limited production, high end Japanese vehicle...:rolleyes:

i bought mine to drive and enjoy, not as an investment in anything but fun and utility, and its given me far more enjoyment than just about any vehicle ive ever owned.. best $$ ever spent, its still got plenty left to give... it just refuses to grow old... :bgwo:
