Awesome, thank you for each of your replies!

VX KAT - I appreciate the buyer checklist. I didn't find that one in my searches. I did read through most of the engine failure poll, I'll look for the oil consumption poll. If anyone out there has had positive/negative experience with a rebuild, I'd be interested in knowing!

Tom - thanks for the pics, your VX looks awesome towing that seadoo!! That's about what I would probably end up towing, so it's good to know you haven't had any problems.

Mile High - thanks for the info, a lot of those are issues I don't care about (my windows don't really work on the XJ, I take my door apart regularly, and it looks to be a pretty easy single DIN radio install if that goes bad). I'd be thrilled just to have power door locks that work reliably on every door. But the ABS is good to know about, I'll be sure to check into that.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
