It doesnt look like something you'd have to sell your vx to pay for? Don't pay too much for it. Rare or not it doesn't look as good as a vx. 1st gen. Troopers better. Older deisels were not as reliable as some of the ones made today. 30 mpg is like a dangling carrot in front of you but if it means puttin' up with a lot of B.S. It might not be worth it. That said it's your decision, so good luck with it either way.
