Should I buy a VX with 101K?

[pbkid]

they both sound like a good deal...

it seems to me that if VX's have engine problems they happen from 70k to 90k
(seems to be the trend)....

so i would say its probably safe...

also, this is a great community of information and parts...so it makes the rarity of getting parts and info a lot easier...

i definately wouldnt have a VX still if i didnt find this site...(would have traded it for an STI when i blew my motor up)

My 2 cents:

If those VXes are clean and running good and strong, I would say go for it. However, try to get maintenance records on them. I'm not saying this is the case, but you never know if one of those VXes did have an engine failure and have rebuilt or swapped engines. And not that that is horrible, if they are running good and look clean and nice, why not?

I will probably consider a 2nd VX down the road and if I can get one for under $6k, it's a done deal!!!

Justin, if you can't get $9k for you VX, I think you should just keep it.

For those prices I'd buy BOTH

Get a pre-purchase inspection for "piece of mind" with a compression test! At least you can have a "list" of possible needed repairs/issues and can walk away at that point or use it as a negotiating tool....my 2 cents.

Hey guys i appreciate the information. I think you all would have died to see what this guy sold last saturday. he had a 1999 silver in mint, and i mean MINT condition with 78,000 miles he sold for 5,500 flat!!! he didnt know what it was he just thouhgt it was a POS. But h he searching for one for me, and he said he would give me a similar deal on one he has found. I called to buy the 1999 today to only be dissapointed that when i was calling him he was at the bank withdrawing the $ from the guy who just bought it hahaha talk about a slap to my face. I will let you all know tommorrow what happens on whether we settle on a deal for the 2001. I hope to be joining you all!!!!

the only reason i think these cars are going so cheap are because no one knows what the heck they have!!! and for a dealer to be ignorant that is a deal waiting to happen!
