    Why yes, there is one very special edition VX out there. It's the only factory painted, US market, pearl white one there is. I believe it's in Colorado somewhere...

    I agree

    Prices aren't going up. At 10-15 years you usually do not see the prices go up. After that they inch up then around 25 where classic starts you start seeing the climb

    Could be, but most collectibles don't have 4k or less units left after 10yrs. So, it could start sooner.

I bought mine new in June 2002 when 2003 models were just coming out. Thats 2 years on a lot. At the time I did a search there were over 60 brand new VXs available at $23,995. Which I talked the dealer down to. The one the dealer had that I bought happened to be the only Proton I could find. Maybe those who brag about the best selling color should look at sales vs production and how fast they sold. If you only make 500 Protons you can only sell 500 Protons.

    Ahhhh yes....but the younger generation is more hip and we have a higher population now. How do we know the interest hasn't gone up?!?!?

    Especially if there were enough units that people never spying one could see one now!

    OTOH, as with pontiac, plymouth, and saturn, people might be most worried about parts/service support on a 10-yr-old vehicle were the brand is basically defunct.

    i agree...its even rarer than my supra which has less then 5-6k units by now. ive only seen 2 vx's in person.

    the first one (silver) was at the stealership in 98 or 99 i think...they only got the one.

    the other (proton) is local, but sitting on the back side on junkyard...and no, the guy wont sell it
