Anybody think it would be a good idea to start a Thread on VXs with known issues that we find for sale?

We could use the color and last 4 digits as the Thread Topic for easy searching.

I can't help but think that some of these are going to get "spruced up" and listed again someplace else and eventually someone is going to get hosed!

Just a thought.

I don't know that we need to start a thread dedicated to VX's with issues, but I do agree that posting the year, color, and especially VIN (full if we can get it) of any for sale / wrecked VX that we find would make it much easier to search for that vehicle later. Those members who are lucky enough to have a PO register on this site have a great resource for researching their own vehicle that most of us don't.

That's one of the things that helped me decide on the Dragon instead of the Foxfire...Three of the four POs were all on this site and I could clearly see the VX history, mods, etc. It was very useful indeed.

Went by and looked at it when the people from Pueblo where there. Had a funny feeling, pretty much just walked away. It is in rougher shape then described, its a used car. The interior, far from perfect condition, and very dirty. I didn't look to closely at the back seats; both fronts are torn and cracked as is the center counsel pad. Steering wheel had a cover so didn't see what it looked like. All the cladding has been painted a silvery color and is coming off in a lot of places, suspect that something bumped in to the cladding in theses places. The front cladding is broken at the hood with holes on the right corner where the body damage is. From the picture looks like the hood aligns well with the dented fender, but in person doesn't look good at all. For 225k is the engine sounded pretty good, I saw the people from Pueblo drive it away later on. The underside also showed no signs of being off road, with original shocks. For $1500 I would have picked it up, but like what was mentioned earlier, bad feelings from the time I got out of my VX at his house. Didn't get a chance to look under the hood, or in the back, wasn't too interested in sticking around for fear I might do something I'd regret later, I really wanted it.

Oh, and one more interesting note; I was there Saturday the 15th looking at it in Denver. It was listed in Pueblo the 14th...

Sounds like it might not have even made much of a parts truck with all the damage to the most valuable pieces (body panels, cladding, etc.).
