Hey Dekthai, my 1999 VX has 156,000 on the clock, but it was never adjusted for the oversize tires, so I estimate it actually has more like 175,000 miles on it. It's one of my daily drivers. I've had it for 3 years now and haven't any major repairs, partly because I check stuff out on this forum as soon as I hear a funny noise or something, and there's always someone who has already dealt with the problem. I had the transmission inspected when I got it and they said it was in amazing shape (and the fluid was new but I didn't know that so it was newer afterwards lol).

All the other folks above are right about getting it checked out though...mine isn't pristine or showroom pretty, but it's tough as nails and I love the uniqueness. Especially when I'm with my VX friends so we can all be unique together ;-)
