I think few collectors may purchase a VX thinking the same,i just hope this comes thru;time will prove that.Originally Posted by circmand
increasing in value. Anything that make a vehicle more rare makes it more valuable. Limited production, heavy modification, and heavy use all make the pure VX rarer and therefore more expensive. If there were millions anyone who wanted one could get one and the value would be lower. The factors making the value of the vehicle low right now are IMHO;
This doesn't apply for all vehicules,usually vehicules to being considered classic should remain in stock conds at all time,not modified.
1. Not that well known. when I saw my 1st VX in 2002 which I bought new off the lot I had no idea what it was. If people do not know it exists they can not desire one.
I can't debate you on this one,probably yes probably no,buti must agree is a good point though.
2. The production of the VX stopped in 2001, it is now only 2009 that is 8 years. It takes 25 years to be considered a classic and 30 to be a collectible (or the other way around) right now the VX is a used car that sold for $30,000+
Yes,the VX's MSRP was 30K + & that played a huge role in the fast retail depretation value of the VX because isuzu had high expectations about sales,but they never though that usually a couple who is on the market for a SUV with kids will hardly close to never will drive off the lot with one
3. Economy being poor for cars and more importantly for SUVs. A point Gussie2000 made and I whole heartedly agree.
If I wrecked my VX today I would be looking for another one tomorrow.
And i assure you many will do the same,actually.
Imagine what a low mileage, good original condition, one owner VX will be worth in 20 years.
