Got my VX at 70k and some change, It's clock is at 148k now. Pulled OEM shocks and installed Rancho 9000's, A couple battery's, 2 Fuel pumps ( I just installed a Bosch w/lifetime guarantee, spend alittle extra and get it ) Timing belt at 95k and water pump while I was in there (the original was ok, just alittle PM ) Tweak the right window track and lube both a few times a year, with no major mechanical issue's, I feel I contribute that to this forum and the knowledge of it's members for preventive maintenance issue's. Mainly running pure synthetic fluid everywhere possible which was one of the first things I did 5 years ago and have stuck with ever since.
