Thanks, golfindoc
GolfinDoc--- Welcome to the P.N.W. - VX family and to the addiction. I live very close to you across the Narrows Bridge in Tacoma, WA. When I bought my VX last year, I took it to the local Tacoma Isuzu Dealership for its pre-sale mechanical inspection. Their Service Dept is excellent; impeccably clean with white concrete floors, and extremely thorough and honest technicians. Have them go thru your VX with a "New Buyer/Owner Inspection". They will give your a detailed list of recommended (optional), and a list of required (for continued safe operation) possible fixes. With 70K mileage; at the bare minimum, you should replace the "Serpetine Belt" now. Please call for an appointment and then visit:
