Looking to buy a VX anything I should be warned about?

Welcome aboard that is a good question but it has been answered many times before check out the site and its many repair and problem sections there is really no reason to start a new catagory when every thing you need is already posted. I do not say this to be mean you are new to te site of course but to explain why you will not get a lot of responses.

The window problems that etlsport mentioned are manageable with a little effort so don't let that keep you from buying. Use the search function using window as the search function.

One other thing to keep in mind is that several members have had the front CV boots tear. It's not that big of a deal to replace but if it is run with the torn boot, the CVs will go Tango Uniform very quickly and that's $$$.

If you like the VX, go for it. You'll love the experience.

I hope you don't have plans on making a monster truck though. 3" lift is easily achievable but anything higher will require serious mods. I've heard of one at 4.5".

If you're serious, look at Biju's post....2001 Proton for sale...contact him quickly...write a check for 15900....and enjoy one of the nicer VXs as your own. (it's no 0177....but, 0177 is not for sale.....so GO! JUMP! Why you still reading this??? You won't do better.

What Chopper said...

All I'll add is RUN don't walk to arrange financing & get yourself a plane ticky to Colorado, you won't find a cleaner, more pampered VX anywhere at any price.

Oh & bring a cryin' towel for Beej & some sort of prying instrument to get the keys out of his hand.

She's a beaut! Lots of mods, but no lift. Very much an everyday driver or a garage bunny. Like Biju, I've mixed emotions about this, but I've taken the plunge, and it looks like she's sold - just a matter of to whom at this point. I don't think I'll be able to stop visiting this site on a regular basis, and I'm sure there will be another in my future. I've already begun my mod list - V8, total custom dash grafted from another vehicle (thinking Grand Am pods, or Malibu boat chrome pods), power seats, body panels similar to the "Moon Craft" VX..... Now I just need an extremely large bucket of money

As to your question - every vehicle has issues - I personally think the VX issues are minor compared with most limited production vehicles. Take the plunge - once you do, you'll be hooked!
