But search and read and brace for an addiction and ownership experience as unique as the VX itself.

Good luck, hope you find your VX soon.

Thanks! That gives me a lot of things to look at when I travel to see this beast. Glad to know these are timing belt motors. My guess is this one will need the belt replaced soon. Owner has only had it a few years and did not mention the t-belt. That's definitely not something I want to leave to chance...

Reading through that list, most of that stuff is standard used car poking and prodding and tire kicking. I've yet to own a new car and I've looked at a ton of used cars before. I was looking more for specific VX problems. For example, a few threads have mentioned that the front bumper reinforcement tube can rust and fall apart. Anything else like that? Any common issues with the TOD? Or the transfer case?

Don't do it man! All your spare time will be gone, spent on daydreaming about mods, walks back and forth from couch to garage for a quick view/fix, and time lapses spent viewing and posting to this forum. You will develop a chronic sore neck from taking furtive glances back at your ride when walking away in a parking lot, seeking glimpses in window reflections as you drive by, and double checking that nearby drivers and pedestrians have had an opportunity to see your VX and reveling in their appreciation and or confusion.

Get yourself a Prius and call it a day.
Cry-asses can't tow trailers And as for the whole neck snapping thing...well this is what I built in my spare time in college: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...67438397_o.jpg I think my neck is well prepared! I also have a 240SX, which I plan to tow with this once I get a garage in KY.
