Hey, it's completely understandable. :-) I didn't comparison shop at all - one showed up on a lot nearby and I got all excited and jumped on it. Well, actually, it sat there a week before I broke down and went in for a closer look, but still... now mine is in very good condition for the miles, but it has a few little things that need dealing with. I probably could have gotten one with windows that work better and an aftermarket CD changer. It has minor scratching on the front cladding too. But I'm very happy with it anyway. I also didn't know about this forum until after I got it and figured my chances of getting another one were worse than if I had known about this resource. I was lucky I guess... don't jump in with both feet like I did and take that chance. Be careful and thorough and it'll pay off. You're doing good - you've made a few long trips to see some and still resisted the urge to not come back empty-handed.
P.S.- I loved my sunroof in my last car but most of the time I had it it didn't work and couldn't be used for fear of it not closing again. Then parts came loose and rattled around in the headliner. Had problems with the glass seating right too. Eventually it began to leak bigtime. Hey, I love 'em to death when they're working, but wouldn't have another one, particularly on a collectible vehicle like the VX that I plan to keep for a while.
