I'd actually feel bad for sharing how much I paid. I work for a private company that has a relationship with Toyota. I got the fever Christmas day when I was searching on eBay (actually wanted one since they came out in 99). I called first thing Friday morning the 26th to discuss a deal. I explained where I work, made an offer, and was told they would likely accept. I tried to make a deposit over the phone but they couldn't take it. I setup an appointment to go test-drive that evening, and buy the vehicle (this was all yesterday btw).

Around 3:30 on the 26th, I got a call that another sales man had already sold he vehicle for their asking price on the lot. SUPER DISAPPOINTED. Though about it last night and realized it wasn't meant to be...I could just dump more money into my off-road toy that I've been working on for two years....

Then today, after getting in from buying more parts for this off-road toy I've been working on, I get a call that the deal fell through, and the guy couldn't get financed. I cancelled my evening plans, and drove 1 hour to buy it.

There are several minor issues I will be posting about inquiring on how to fix, but overall, I'm super happy with the vehicle....and I probably paid less than anyone would want to believe.

SOLD! In my garage everyone. Glad to be joining the community.

[LITTLELAURIE]

Yes,i believe it has to be the last VX with less then 30K.

My VX has, 21,213!

[Riff Raff]

Hey Laurie: Your VX caught my eye shortly after I joined back in 04. It's my favorite Ebony ...

So........ is this other off road toy you have, an Isuzu MU??

Looks like one lurking in the background of your photo.

I actually progressed from an MU to my VX.
Quite a leap forward in comfort and sportiness.
Quite a leap backwards in fuel consumption - but who cares!!!!!!!:bwgr::bgwp:

yeah. i flipped it when it was originally a suzuki sidekick and had to swim out.
now it has the body of the 'mu' or amigo. has full hydro steering, 4.3L vortec motor, turbo 350 tranny, NP205 transfer case, toyota axles etc.....just ordered springs front and rear, and a set of Corbeau seats. The roll cage is next, paint everything (about 50 hours in the one off bumper fabs) and install the winch. Have to figure out a way to do the 5 point harnesses since the cage will be exo...and so the list goes on.

Hopefully, it will be done by this summer. Had the dash pulled this weekend... It is for off-roading only, but will be as nice as anything I have.

Btw, this VX is an impressive vehicle !!! Glad I found this forum.

Hey Johnny--- Now that you actually own a VX, please update your vehicle data on your sign-on profile (that appears to the far-right of your postings) like last four of VIN number, etc. By the way, we still all want to know exactly how much you paid for your VX ???

Maybe your VX can be your next project. You can be the 1st to build a SAS VX... Many have talked about it..

What a nice truck. I wanted black and looked for one for several months before settling on my second choice PROTON YELLOW. I love the yellow but its more difficult to fix it up to look like Batman's second ride.
