    $6,600 out the door
    Car only has 4 things i need to fix:
    1) driver side door when shut is a tad off on top... can i reposition it?
    2) the iron man plastic on the hood needs to be retaped so it stays down
    3) there is an air sound inside the car from the air fan or vent or something... what could that be it is on the drivers side... should i be worried about it?
    4) the back door has a 2 in ch cut in the paint looks like a knife was taken to it (its not what happened but thats what it looks like) and a tad bit of rust is visible about 1 cm by .5 cm

    other than that she doesnt lek, engine is real nice... and the interior is PERFECT!

    please let me know how to fix those first 3 problems
    Congrats...Your "air sound" could be your drivers door being a tad off

    you know when i was looking for a car i told myself i wanted one that i wouldnt modify.... well i think i shot myself in the foot... these things just look so sweet with better rims/tires, and a ton of metal around it!

    The ironman edition doesn't differ from the rest of the others VX's.

    But the reason there's an ironman VX edition is because isuzu sponsored the famous triathlon back in the 90's that was named so.

    The logos on the hood insert,the recaro seats,the rear fenders & floor matts makes all the difference,but this edition was the most expensive of all VX's
    Dakar was just the begining.
