PROS:
1 ~ New toy excitement!
2 ~ Less fear of breakdowns, and a warranty just in case...
3 ~ Known monthly payments
4 ~ Slight improvement in gas mileage
5 ~ More bells & whistles
6 ~ $$$ spent to keep VX in good shape will never be recouped
7 ~ The Dubster (and everyone else here) will continue to love you!

CONS:
1 ~ Not owning an ISUZU VehiCROSS anymore...
2 ~ Savings & $$$ from sale of VX used for down payment
3 ~ Keep fixing stuff and soon it will be brand new again!
4 ~ $$$ can't equal emotional value of VX

I know we have talked quite a bit about this, but I wanted to chime in here at VehiCROSS.info... My humble opinion (I know... everyboby has them) is that you do what makes you happy. Life's too short to be bummed. Get a new ride if you don't want to keep pouring $$$ into the VehiCROSS. A new ride will cost more, but it will be worth more money and peace of mind. We still have mine, and your old Ironman that Luie has. The fact that you have fixed so much on this VX is a plus. Any new owner will be glad you have had all this stuff done. That you want the peace of mind of a newer ride is WAY understandable. That's why I got a Harley... to replace my Ducati Monster. The Monster is AWESOME (when running well), but the HOG is better in every way (except leaning WAY over into corners & pulling wheelies). I once traded a 1991 5.0 Mustang LX for an '88 Formula Fiero (which I still wish I had, but am even more glad I got the VX). Bottom line is that you need to do what's best for you. If I, or your VX family, can help make this easier... kewlness.
