I seldom use my VX, due too a lower back issue. Nevertheless, I just cannot let her go. She is driven twice a month,for a total of forty miles..The taught of selling her sadden me tremendously..
Is my case an isolated occurence????

:noo:
Uh...NO!
Selling Suzy is UNTHINKABLE!:waag:...;puke:...:(
I have come to a point of wanting to sell a couple times but feel bad each time, get all emotional, and keep hanging on. It DOES have to go at some point though.
until I can sell her for more than I bought her for.
Definitely not an isolated case, I'm just glad I bought mine a few months before we found out we were having our first baby - the wife would never have let me buy such a baby unfriendly vehicle (she was thinking Xterra) had we known at the time. Can you imagine putting a baby in a rear-facing car seat in the backseat of the VX? I've done it, and it is NOT easy. Once she's able to sit facing forward it'll be much easier to carry her though.
So all good so far in hanging on... like others, my plan is to keep it until the wheels fall off and then buy another one to replace it.
Ya once they are old enough to get in and out by themselves it is a great car for a kid or two,Quote:

since kids are the only ones who can do it without falling into the back seat :yesb:
Don't sell her..... GIVE her away to meeeeeee. Thats the ticket.
I'm having the same issue. Mine is sitting in my driveway with a dead transmission and 170k on the motor. I have to have a reliable car for work so I've already gone and purchased a (don't kick me) jeep liberty. The vx is paid for but I know it's going to be either sell him or part him out. So far I can't bear the thought of either but realistically I know I will never have the money to rebuild the tranny and eventually the motor so it's going to have to go. For now it sits in the driveway and makes me sad when I see it. :(
Naw man, it doesn't, its all in yer head. Just keep her.Quote:

It's not the rough ride that's the problem because the GMC has bricks for springs just like the VX - there's just something about the contour of the VX seat that tweaks my back the wrong way. The VX is a young person's vehicle - or at least a healthy person's. I should find something more suitable. Still... I can't let go of the VX - can't stand the thought of riding around in a comfortable, bland car with no character...Quote:

Dang - if it came down to it, I'd do whatever it takes to mount new seats.
Bah. I was always able to get myself into the backseat no problem, but IQuote:
