An unmodified, unrusted, very good condition VX....
...Now the VX will never be a classic Corvette desire-wise, but they sure DO get modded, off-roaded, and wrecked; they also start rusting if you even LOOK at H2O! And since they're driven in the snow, they get crashed into by idiots on "snow days". Hell, in the 3+ years I've had mine, I've watched the availability of nice, unmodded VX's dwindle to almost NONE; back when I was looking, there were maybe 3-4 to choose from under 60K miles, that were unmodded. Now? Good luck!
And everybody wants a "deal", too. Here on the Forum (as in MOST Forums) we tend to be "near-sighted" - we're in our own little World. I can tell you, living in SoCal, I turned down at least 1-2 $10K+ offers/month for my little Proton from NON-VX owner/enthusiasts; just from guys/gals that saw it somewhere, thought it was cool, and HAD to have it!
And when it comes time to sell mine, I will NEVER list it here; sorry, but too much of a PITA! I'll just keep driving it around, all clean and all, and when someone HAS to have it, I'll tell him/her that "it's not for sale, but it CAN be bought"...Ca-ching!
