    hahaha.... mine sits for weeks sometimes a couple months.....those gaskets and seals are just dandy. The only "rule" is: I don't start it unles it can be run more than 20mi. or 20min without shutting it down.
    I'm at 48k (I think)

    I'll put my 130,000 mile VX up against ANY 65,000 mile VX! Wear and tear? Where? The steering is tight, interior and exterior nearly perfect! It's more the how/where it's been driven/stored, not the how far!

    You would be the SELLER not the BUYER. The buyer has no idea if what you tell him is true. I have bought several cars for parts and for restoration. The ones I bought and the ones I just looked at had 1 thing in common. The sellers all said "It was running just fine when we parked it" Granted some people take better care and their high mileage cars are better than low mileage cars some teenager beat the heck out of. BUT there is no way to tell which is which the only concrete measure is mileage and year. Even this can be faked.

    Along with countless others, currently active & not so much, who I have met in person, had VX related dealings with, & who have posted in a manor which leads me to believe in my guts that they are indeed, trustworthy.
