In my honest opinion I feel the VX holds it's value similarly to a Wrangler does. It'll always be the most expensive model of the brand for that particular year. Don't let that bad experience turn ya off though. I was asking less for my 69k VX that is in better shape than that one so imho he was a little high. Maybe ya could convince me to put mine back on the market but I figure Idaho is probably further than ya'd want to travel to get one. Don't give up hope, if ya want a decent VX just keep looking, that perfect one (for you) will come along eventually. Don't settle for a Jeep if it's not what ya truly want.

Edit: Plus they made millions of jeeps. Yet only a few thousand VX's.
