He'd apparently already had it in mind to buy a Chevy Spark because of it's advertised highway gas mileage (if he could find one that wasn't the same "puke green" he'd seen at his local dealership that is), but said he'd immediately changed his mind to wanting a VX instead after seeing mine...so long as it got halfway similar mileage. Needless to say he was disappointed when I told him a VX averages maybe 20 mpg highway.

Along with the mileage though, it also seemed to be the rarity of the VX that also had him wanting one. His day job was semi-driver, and he told me that despite all of the time he's spent on the road over the years, my VX was the first he'd ever seen. With demand being a large factor in determining market price, and a smaller and smaller number of available examples of that specific market, maybe it's only a matter of time for the VX?

The question might turn out to be, if a Barrett-Jackson-like offer was ever made...what would win out...your pride of ownership for having something that everyone else wants at the moment...or the possible temporary chance to sell at a profit in an up market?
DOOOOD!!!

Never mind ... I ain't got nuthin'

You're probably right about the nitch market & $$$ thing over time. Boy said that somebody offered him $10G for the VX the other day.
