Hey VXorado and Mile High VX, I'll let you know what my decision is. Your offers are generous, and I'll only ask for that favor if I'm absolutely serious about that VX there.

Well well, I look away for a few hours and everyone lines up to help! I'm honestly floored by this group XD

Despite my mild paranoia about the internet, I'll give up my name as it's friendlier:
Hi everyone, my name is Cameron, and I'm an .... okay I'm not an alcoholic but I do like a good vehicle.

Even though this thread won't go on much longer (if it's like threads on non-VX forum) I have one more question: If Number 1 and Number 3 are equally preferred, and the trip back to UT makes them come out about even in price, and I care more about lower maintenance cost than the color--

Which one would YOU, personally, prefer for less repairs over the next couple years?

I'm assuming that the '99 in North Carolina, with 98k miles on it, will have less maintenance. Thoughts?
I'll be speaking with the dealers again today to go over that lovely list that was posted above ^ (good list, seems Very thorough).

Cheers,
