Thanks circmand for the (very quick) and thoughtful reply!

I pinged the member doing free vehicle histories, I'll be looking for his replies.

I spoke with Number 1 already, that's definitely the one I'm most interested in, and CO isn't too far to go for a VX that's been cared for. It's good to hear there's a dealer willing to go to lengths making a car BETTER for resale, not just a spit-shine and new tires ;-) thanks for the heads-up on his rep here, it's nice to hear a positive one about a used car sales place!

When I talked with Number 2, his price was firm. I'm intrigued by the 2WD conversion though... but it's not necessary for me. I ride my motorcycle most of the summer, so gas cost isn't as big an issue for me as for some. Though it still is a nifty sounding conversion to my uneducated ears...

It looks like number 3 will get scratched off the list of potentials, in favor of the other two on here.

Many thanks! This is a good way to welcome a new member into the tribe, I'm encouraged by it :-D

Anyone else have comments? I'm all ears for more opinions.

Cheers,

ps. I'll need to finance about half of it, have the rest spare and on hand. If there are decent places in UT or CO anyone knows, pm me? I'll be looking into credit unions around here today :-) I make okay money, but since I'm about to get married I'll finance this so I have something left to spend on the wedding :nod:
