I read somewhere that VX's actually sat on the lot for a LOOOONG time. Another member posted a story about it. Also, I read a thread not too long ago about a memeber that did get close to Blue book value from his insurance company. And the most expensive VX i've seen in the past two years was $12k, and it was a very low mileage, rust free, garage kept specimen.
Oh yes, I know they sat, and didn't sell well I was being facetious. Had they sold well... They would have produced more, regardless of original production methods.
