it's been a few months... but I've got one
out of the 3 that were originally in my area 2 were out of my budget and 1 dissappeared before I could look at it.
for a while I gave up looking for a VX and put a CL add up just for a "reliable 4x4" with a few of the characteristics I was looking for and a few suggestions of vehicles I would be happy to consider (VX being one of them).
I didn't get much responses to the add, mostly lifted chevys that weren't anything like what I wanted, and a few nice but way overpriced Subarus.
then last week I got an email response to my add from a guy named Pete just an hour away from where I live who had a VX (he's apparently a member here too)... after asking a few questions, getting a picture and running a carfax I went out to take it for a test Drive this Sunday... I LOVED IT... this thing was just awesome! I had driven a few other cars and while some of them were a good value none of them really clicked... the VX sold be as soon as I sat in it and I knew I had to have it as soon as I went down the road.
Here's a picture:
it has a few minor problems, AC doesn't work, tires will probably need replacing in the next 5K, the brakes are warn and it's got a hole in the muffler.
HOWEVER, it's got 114K miles on it, and in the last 10K it got a nearly new transmission, TOD system and complete valve job. I snagged it for $5800 and as part of the purchase agreement the seller is fixing the brakes and exhaust for me
I put a deposit on it and I should be picking it up in a couple of weeks once the seller has fixed those things.
I'm excited :bgwp:
that low mileage one that snowtrooper1966 posted looks awesome and I would have been happy to go out to PA to buy it... but it's way out of my price range. At the price I paid for this one I'll have enough left over to fix it up a bit and maybe make a few modifications like the trunk popper and maybe a 3" OME lift and 33" tires
