Hi Fuddy

Welcome to the mad world of VX's!

The VX looks pretty good to me. It says it's had the timing belt done recently - that will save you close to £1000, but I'd make sure the guy has a proper bill for it. Also find out if the water pump was done at the same time. He doesn't talk much about the gas conversion, but also find out if that has been serviced and has a certificate. Not a major issue if not, but good if he's got it.

As for the mileage.... I would say that's down to personal preference and luck. If it's been looked after as he says then there is no reason the engine won't go on indefinatley. You've probably seen the ones on eBay for around £6000. They have been on there a long time and are overpriced. I paid £2,500 for mine, but was very luck So, £3,400 for that one? I would if all the paperwork tallies. If not, negotiate downwards. I guess he's open to offers anyway The Gas conversion is a major bonus given that most of us are getting low double figures as far as fuel consumption goes!

Offroading? Yeah great! Mine has been lifted by larger springs on the rear, cranked tortion bars and big mud tyres. Theres not much more you can easily do, without custom fabrication, but I guess it depends on how far you want to go

Here's a couple of me playing - check my gallery for more: http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/sh...00&ppuser=3767







Good luck and keep us informed of what you do!
