Hi mate,

The garage you are looking at has sold Vehicross' for a long time and the owner deals in them. He has had a few himself as far as i can remember. The ones he has for sale at the moment have been there for a long time, he is definately holding out for a good price on the ones he has. TO be honest with you i paid 3900 for mine from a dealers, and others have paid down to 2500 quid for a private sale, 6000 seams alot especialy if it has been standing for 4 years, thats not necessarily a good thing.......at all!!! It would have to be perfect.

Which one is it your looking at??

As far as owning one, the garage owner should be able to point you in the direction of a good repair shop in the area as he must have maintained his. They share the same engine as the Isuzu trooper and the Vaxhaul Frontera B so parts are available but can be pricey bue to the age of the car and the engine not being in production any more. Infact it was replaced by the 3.5l found in the newer US versions of the Vehicross.

Fuel consumption depends on how you drive of course and what mods you do to the VX....if any. mine got around 18 -22 mpg as standard on the country roads and motorway etc. However i am running 32" tyres and a free flow exhaust and drive daily around london and my scan guage tells me i average 9mpg !!!!!

Insurance wise it IS a grey import and as such the premium is higher. I use Adrian Flux as they specialise in those. My insurance is 660 fully comp which is more than my 350bhp 300zx was. It is worth it though!!!

Another thing, i hope youdon't mind being stared at as the Vehicross gets alot of attension!


Best thing to do is go mand have a good look and a test drive. Read up on here about the variouse functions of the TOD system and things to watch out for (is there a buyers guide on this site???? ) and use the prices they are selling else where to bring the price down if you really like it but as i say, they have been there a while so its not going to hurt to make a low offer.

I believe the garage owner is a member on here although i cant remember his username
