... but I would plan on putting some money into a new tranny at least before building it for trails.

Personally I'd walk away and look for something in better shape ...

Personally i wouldn't take it.

All Y'all should hang yer head in shame ... Ya skeer'd him away. Now another VX may end up crushed.

As repentance you must now group buy that VX and part it out for the rest of us.

Yeah yeah, the truth hurts , I didn't actually say "don't buy it"

Actually, I sent Chance a post about the VX. I want to go check it out this weekend with intentions to buy it for community parts. We'll see

I would buy it, if you can afford the costs, I hate to see another Fellow VX go to scraps . But if you just can't, wash your hands and find her another good hands to carry her to safety. If not, her OIL is now in your hands. .

but better than steering a member into a ditch this could be as a result of poor maintanence

True, but chance had said the intention if purchased was to turn it into a toy, not necessarily a daily driver; not concerned so much about looks, etc. And while it was said the previous owner hadn't had anything worked on, it wasn't said that general maintenance had been neglected. Just saying that some specifics weren't given making it difficult to say how rough that 225k on the odometer may have been. It can't have been neglected THAT much if it's made it that far anyway.

I'm more worried about that last 5-10K than the first 220. Most importantly, how long was it driven with these tranny issues?

And Tom I know, I know, it's always sad to see another one headed to the scrap yard. But hopefully someone with deep pockets will come along that doesn't have any hesitation about such a purchase. There's something to be said for the fact that he's even asking for our opinion; sometimes people do that to have a reason to walk away from something they already have a bad feeling about.

Not to put words in chance's mouth though.
