I never could figure out what "VX ross" was all about...:_confused
Good luck in your quest.:luck:
hey everyone im new to this ive had my VX for about 3 months now and looking for lots of parts im hoping i can find what im looking for and have any question answered here thanks look forward to talking to yous
Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I have been a long time admirer of the greatness that is Vehicross. Finally I was able to pick up a silver 1999 model. I am in the Dallas area and look forward to getting together with the local contingent. Also just 1 question, the Vehicross I bought has several little issues I would like looked at. Who would be the foremost expert to work on them in this area? The check engine light is on, ABS light is on, Blows fuse for dash lights and tail lights the moment you put it in, windows on both sides messed up(I tried the lithium grease to no avail), and just want all the diff and tranny fluid and filters changed. Anyway look forward to meeting all of you and getting into the club.
Thanks
Brian
Hello everyone and thank you for providing this forum. A week ago we were looking for a third vehicle and came across this cool looking black thing. Test drove it and without knowing much about it, bought it. It is fun to drive and fun to learn about. I do have a question, I need to take it in for an emissions test but cannot find the connector. I know where it is supposed to be but it is not there, any hints to where it might have gone? Thank you in advance.
'99 Ebony Black Vehicross
DL, welcome to the family. You'll find that there are a bunch of helpful folks around here, a couple of crazies and one or two ornery cusses, but everyone means well.:biggringr
Which plug are you looking for? If it is the OBDII port then that should be located under the dash down by the hood release on the left side of the steering wheel. You may have to squat down and look way under there because it's tucked up there pretty good.
MS, thank you for the quick reply. I found a picture online where the connector is supposed to be and when I go out and look at this one there is an empty rectangular space with no connector. When I look up under the dash there is no loose connector that looks like it should fit there. What do you think happened to it?
martians... That's what I think happened to it.
Thanks, Bob. Is there someone I can talk to about that?
Of course, the problem is if I can't get it tested we can't register it and we will need to return it and then I won't have any reason to visit all you wonderful people here.
I think if you can get Dennis Rodman to answer his phone then maybe you could convince him to return your OBDII connector... it's a long shot, but it just might work.
I would think that that pesky thing would have to be up there somewhere. Does anyone know if you can just cut the OBDII port off?
You may need to take some of the dash apart to see if the connector has been stuffed up there somewhere. I just can't believe that it would be gone.
Does your vx have a scan gauge?Quote:

Thanks for the responses. I will start unwrapping electrical tape to see what I can find.
Welcome DLmanning to all this madness :)
I live in California and am looking for a VX. I am obsessed with owning one!
One question though - California has annual smog tests. Are all VX's equipped to pass CA emissions? Or do they have to have a special CA package?
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post! Just excited to be here!
AFAIK, all VX smog = same-same...:yesgray:Quote:

My bro, an auto mechanic, is going to Idaho today to look at a '01 black with 84K miles. If it checks out, he'll drive it back for me and I'll have my VX in about a week! Whoo hoo!
I assume '91 is a typo. Only 99-01 available in the States.Quote:

Now, I would like to pick up a VX for the stable. I'm currently looking. They are few and far between though. There are only 6 for sale within a 300 mile radius from me.
Thanks. Just found one kinda cheap on Craigslist. I'll see what happens. What should I look for before purchasing? Any recommendations from anyone? Thanks again!Quote:

You may want to post info on the one (s) you're looking at, as many members here know or know of the vehicle and might be able to impart some info. Don't think anybody has snipped a VX this way (and hope they never would) so I don't think you have to worry about that.
Good luck!
Here is the listing. Next chance I get I'll probably go check it out. I'll print the list you showed me and bring it along. He's asking $5495. Its a 1999 and it has 130,000 miles. I just did a check on KBB to see the PP value and it says that a VX in good condition with this mileage is around $5485. His price seems a little too high now.

It's even in your own state, WOW! That doesn't happen very often. Many MANY of us have purchased from 1000 - 3000 miles away! I bought in VA, shipped it to AZ. Even if this one's a bomb, you'll at least get to see one up close, sit in it, etc...
Another thing to keep in mind- if there's another VXer in the area of one for sale, you can ask them to "check" it out, we do it all the time! Just post it up and ask if anybody's in the area and can check it out.:thumbup:
It was overpriced. Wouldn't come down. Still looking :(Quote:

Mileage is acceptable for the asking price.
If the price is within your budget i can drive by & check them for you.
I actually saw those. Thanks. Thats awesome of you to offer. I may have to sell my second car first to be able to buy the VX. Hopefully I have a few choices when that time comes.Quote:

He seems like a stand-up guy. You can read thru his posts and see what you think.

Wow, Its a small world. He doesn't have any activity since April. I sent him an email and he responded next day. He said the price may be negotiable too. Thanks Deermagnet. You guys on here seem real cool!!!!!!Quote:

which would you choose? $14,000 for a 2001 VCross with 35,000 miles that is in very good shape and has had the window problems fixed and a new abs system installed from a used car dealer OR a 1999 Kaiser in decent condition with 130,000 miles for $5,500 from a private seller?
what are the c pillar vehicross badges?
