Soon to be VX owner, looking for troubles?

[JHarris1385]

Hey I know a guy here local to me that has a great Proton for sell.
Its lifted, upgraded exhaust, new axles, new water pump and belts with a full service history. This owner at the current moment has three. The proton for sale a donor that is used for parts (he found at an auction for $900 with a little side damage) and his new Kaiser which he only purchased becuase of the color.

I can get you in contact with him. Just pm me.

Proton would not be my first choice of color, but PM sent anyways.

Thanks to any and all who has assisted me in making a decision one way or other. Great community ya'll got here!

Proton is by far the best and most exciting color. If you do not realize this you obviously not ready for a VX.

Just kidding but I get questions about my proton all the time

there is a nice ironman for sale here in yelm washington. Pretty sure I know who it is and she has had it since new. AKFlaco posted it here the other day. Of course anyone you fine that isn't local, am sure someone here would be happy to check it out for you

Grif, with the mileage you listed, the previous accidents, and the current problems, the true value of that VX would be around the $2500.

If you can get it for that, and can baby it back to health, then go for it.
But to make it economical, you would have to be able to do most of the work yourself.
If you cannot get the price down below $3000 and do the work yourself, the vehicle is just plain overpriced and not for you.

There are others out there that are good value for money, and worth travelling to pick up.

Good luck

Grif,

Believe us, we ALL understand the desiring that one VX which is at your fingertips. We know that magical pull toward that first VX you see. But many of us have been here for years seeing VX's bought and sold, with those who take gentle, precise care of their rigs and others who absolutely trash them.

A truck that has so many problems that were not addressed by the past owner(s) will hide a multitude of hidden problems - some potentially dire to the longevity of the rig. I have personal knowledge of a Ebony that when it was sold, had a number of known problems never addressed, and when the next guy bought it, he had to put in over 8K in it, and it still wasnt right. It literally was too far gone.

We can help you find another VX - better ones ARE out there. Just be patient and look around. Many of us across the country check out rigs for others and we certainly can do it for you.

Grif; Searching for the right VX is in itself an exciting adventure. Savor it and make it last until all the stars are aligned. That rig you are looking at will put you in the poor house and sour you on the VX within a year. Keep looking buddy.

Grif--- By now you know I've absolutely flooded your E-Mail in-box with messages from me. I found a super clean 2001 Silver VX in Berea, KY (40403) on www.AutoTrader.com with only 76,000 miles for only $9,500 and it has a super rare electric Sunroof/Moonroof (which is a $1,200 modification by itself). Yes, Berea, KY is 652 miles away (each direction) from Foley, AL but it would be well worth a 2-day weekend trip with a friend to convoy back home with.

Contact fellow member "DMulk55" who lives only an hour away in nearby Frankfort, KY to check the VX out for you in advance and to see if it's worth pursueing. "DMulk55" can be contacted via E-Mail from the member's list (left side of Home Page).

Forget about that wrecked P.O.S. VX you've currently been looking at and stop wasting your time, money, and effort thinking about it. Move on, and look at better VX's in much better condition!!! In the long run, you'll be glad you did.
