Congrats and welcome.

If you have a VX with good records and it is already running good, you are ahead of the game.

Check your oil level EVERY TIME you get gas, serious as a heart attack. Some Isuzu 3.5s have an oil burning issue and some VXes die because of it. Otherwise, do all the regular maintenance on time, hang around on this forum and you are good to go. You might start off by doing a search for "cladding" and you will find loads of threads about taking care of the plastic cladding. I'm a die hard user of Trim Shine. Check my site (link below) for pics and all the mods I have done.

My hood insert started cracking, is loaded with rock chips and is faded as well. For me, the only worthwhile solution was to buy a new one while I still can, and that is what I did. You can also just paint it.

Good luck!
