How about a Ford Explorer SportTrac (for the son)....alot like a Suburu Baja in functionality and was built on the Ford Explorer suspension/chassis so alot of the parts would be as easily obtained as for an Explorer I should think. They have been making them for a number of years now so I would have to believe there is an older one floating around in your price range. The older ones all have V6's.
I looked at a new version at the Pittsburgh Auto Show (like the Detroit Auto Show) and liked it alot. The new versions offer a V8 as an option....If I can't afford a Ford Raptor in 5 years I'll probably get a Ford Explorer SportTrac for a daily driver!
Then trade in your VW (or sell) for a VX for yourself!
I went to a VX meet in Vermont like 5-6 years ago I believe...Mt Equinox was fun in a VX!
