    & 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.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    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.

    Well, it's official. I'm now the proud owner of my first VehiCROSS!
    It turns out it's actually RobVX's ebony 2001 VX #1301.
    I love it and I'm glad I found a really nice one locally. I look forward to frequenting these forums and maybe meeting some of you some day.
