Hey, got a few questions

[LSkynard87]

Quite a few of us went 200 miles plus to get our VX (me included). I bought mine sight unseen from MO & I live in VA. It cost about $700 to have it trucked to me.

What was the cost in total?
Why didn't you drive it home? Added miles?

I paid $15K for mine (actually bought it for wifey). I was going to fly out & drive it back but just couldn't take the time off work. In retrospect it was the right decision tho since my CVs went Tango Uniform soon after I got it. I literally did buy it sight unseen. The first time I saw the Proton is when it was sitting in MY driveway.

$15K is probably more than I should have spent but I like it so no complaints.

Ooo, well that's cool.

I wouldn't get into a loan or anything like that, and definitely don't live a lifestyle that I could spend 15k on anything, lol.

Just out of curiousity, what would be the reality of me getting into one with a supercharger under 6k?

Hey!
Just bought mine from New Jersey, sight unseen for 13.5K. Had it shipped to me in California. The seller paid the shipping cost (1.5K).
I bought one so far away because it was the color (Dragon Green Mica, the rarest of the 3 year US production colors, 248+-) and had low miles on it, 56K...
As far as a supercharged for under 6K, perhaps by the time you are ready to buy, but I would imagine it would be a high (100K+) milage VX.

Yeah I knew it was a stretch, but I never thought I'd come across a decent Ram under 6k and I bought mine for 3 and it had 120,000 miles. High but not too bad for a 96.

Just has several small things that need to be tweaked, no biggie. I like the DIY stuff anyway, and figured I'd be upgrading whatever came stock no matter the condition, so may as well replace something needing replacing.

WHOA! wait, the seller paid 15k? if you bought it for 13.5, where was he profit? lol.

Also, I use to be a HUGE Star Wars fan, still dig it, just more into the Football world nowadays.

OOOPS!
That's 1.5K. Post edited. Thanks!

"may the VX be with you..."

Ok that's what I thought, but that is quite a trip either way.
