    Congrats

    BTW depending on where the VXs are there may be members on the site willing to go by and check them out for you before you have to make a trip and come to a final decision

    That's a big x2!!! Given that fact, you might even want to totally re-think your buying strategy and focus on perhaps a later model year (i.e. 2000/2001) with 18" wheels and the availability of the infamous Proton yellow color which was available only on the 2000 & 2001 models and has VT's solid approval according to Circmand.

    When you narrow your choices down, be sure and verify that the ABS Light functions properly B/4 purchase. The ABS Light should first illuminate briefy (a few seconds) at ACC pre-iginition turn-key to verify bulb function and then gently fade away/disappear. If the ABS Light doesn't first illuminate, it could mean the previous owner delierately removed the bulb/fuse (not good); if the ABS Light stays on continuosly and doesn't disappear, then that's not good either.

    Given the amount of money you are willing to spend, you may want to wait and find perhaps a later model year with lower miles in perhaps a more preferred exterior color. Bottom Line-- don't rush your purchase, take your time and find the perfect one for your tastes.

    Lastly and most important-- don't be afraid to buy "on-line long distance" and have the vehicle shipped you via www.DependableAutoShippers.com (D.A.S.). If you do buy "on-line long distance", be sure to use www.Escrow.com to CYA, as it will give you a 3-day inspection period to either accept or reject the possible purchase without fear of being rooked into a lemon.

    This is what I get for ignoring comments when I read...

    Proton is a nice color. Not my favorite of course, but a good choice nonetheless.
