You Know How People Who Have A Bad Experience With Something Tell Pretty Much Everyone. That Sounds Like The Case Here. All Vehicles Need A Little Tlc After A While. That's Why This Forum Is Here To Help Guide You In Your Experience. Personally I've Had 4 Jeeps And Not Impressed. The Vx's Are One Of A Kind And Great Little Runners. I've Seen These Things With Upwards Of 200k On Em Including Rodeo's, Axiom's, And Troopers. So It's Really Up To You. Might I Add If Your A Social Person... This Is A Great Conversation Starter For Auto Enthusiast. You'd Be Supprised As To How Much Attention They Really Attract. As For The The Expensive Part... What Auto Insn't? Some Parts May Be Hard To Find But The Vx Shares A Lot Of Parts With Other Isuzu's.
