Being relatively new to this VX madness, I too was concerned with parts availability. As a rather competent mechanic, repairs themselves were not an issue, just sourcing the parts to do the repairs. I have since found that mechanical parts availability is no problem at all, my local Car Quest has everything I have needed so far, usually in stock!
As to body parts, the cladding can be plastic-welded and boiled to regain correct shape. I was the GM of Keystone Automotive Group in a former life and we used to repair plastic bumpers and assorted plastic body parts, including VX cladding, we even retextured the surface to match! With this forums fine bunch of VX diehards to help locate the hard-to-find parts and so many parts readily available, why wouldn't you want one of these awsome little beasties? Heck, if nothing else, you've just gained 2964 friends.
