Ditto, ditto, ditto! Chopper is in auto body repair - listen to him, please! Buy the color you want - don't try to repaint. It will cost thousands to do it right, or look like junk if you do it on the cheap.

Despite their presumed rarity, VXs are widely available on the used car market, and you will find a Proton in a couple months tops if you have the patience to wait for what you really want. As tough as it may be to shop without results (I've been looking for the right Porsche 928 for over a year), just remember that you will be owning and driving the product of your search much, much longer than you will have spent shopping for it. Better to be annoyed now than annoyed at your decision for the next 5 years.

Yeah, beyond that, all new VX's were pretty much the same except for the differences Triathelete listed above, although there a lot of modifications people do to them, so you might see some additional differences between cars for sale now.

Good luck!!
