I think I'm joining the VX Club

Yeah, I would also check to see if it's a '99. If I'm not mistaken, I think the 99s seem to have the 5th or 6th cylinder that goes bad every so often.

If you get one, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Peace.

p.s.
check to see if the differential fluids have been changed. If they have been changed, it's a good bet someone has been taken good care of that VX.

Holy crap! I thought I was the first one to reply to this thread.

That’s what I get for not refreshing the page.

Well, thank you guys for all the advice. I got my greyhound ticket ready and I'll be heading down Wed morning to pick it up. I'll let y'all know how it went and hopefully you'll start seeing more of me on here.
Wish me luck!

& don't forget to keep Merlin's number handy for OEM parts. He's at St Charles Isuzu & is HIGHLY recommended as the best source (he even gives a discount to members here).

For aftermarket stuff, Tone Monday is a good source (also a member here).

Don't second guess your choice. I paid more for mine than I should have - went half way across the country for it - bought it sight unseen - never regretted it.

BTW - keep an eye on your CV boots as well. If your VX isn't lifted, chances are they'll last forever but ...

Well, had someone buy it out from under me before I could get to it. Was really pissed off till I found this one. I don't know how I missed it earlier, but it's not too far from where I live. I think I can get him down to $9500. I hope so cause it looks really clean and the guy was pretty cool. He sounded like he really loved it and took care of it.
What do you guys think?

Looks good! Hopefully the windows are bad, Then you can talk him down and fix it later for 50$ Ask him about oil consumption. Allot of the 2001s like mine don’t have that problem. So if it doesn’t that’s a plus.

Cool, will do. Glad I found this one and didn't go with the other one. He seems like he really look care of it and it's got MB Quart speakers and a built in 10' JL sub in the spare tire compartment. I'll let y'all know how it goes later today.
