Mark, Great write-up! Great to have someone else that has a mindset like mine... VX lifer!

Excellent post! You give me something to strive for! I'm at 75000 mi and the engine, tranny still run like a top. Only problems I've ever had have been the windows, hood insert, and my left headlight which I have to smack to make it turn on.![]()
I know you believe you understand what you think I said; but what you fail to realize is that what you heard is not what I meant.
I love this write up! Congratulations on maintaining your baby.
Here's to another 200,000 + miles!
Peace.

One of THE best posts I've EVER read on this Forum! With all the "bad news" one can read here, the average person could become downright paranoid about owning a Vehicross! We need more "good news" threads like this one...
Allow me to share alittle of my own "good news" on MY VX - at 61K miles, mine has never thrown a Check Engine light or an ABS light, original brake pads are at 50%, I JUST replaced the original battery, and ALL underhood/underside componentry is original. It's never used a DROP of oil, either! I JUST repaired the driver's window - all it needed was a simple adjustment. Underside is dry as a popcorn fart.
There ARE some good ones out there, guys and gals! I'm in total smite with mine; thankfully, it was taken care of and garaged by the original owner, who drove it mainly on the highway. I'm looking forward to many years of "second ownership"; here in Orange County, I get more looks than the Ferrari drivers!![]()

I have less than 30,000 miles till I catch you. I just wish my maintainence record/schedule was half as good as yours. But she still purrs like a kitten and uses less than 1/2 a quart between changes.
Congrats on the milestone!

Wow, nice job keeping all the records. Really shows how good maintenance will keep a VX running strong![]()
Keep us updated on 300K...should be a piece of cake
Thanks for posting this! It gives me hope! My original VX I knew I could have put endless miles on her because I WAS the original owner, it ran better at 110k than the one I have now runs with 77k. At least I have a ton of spare parts! LOL![]()
Ask forgiveness, not permission.
This thread is pure awesome. Congrats!
And here I am trying to keep my VX below 100k.
