After 16 years in my garaged car collection, it's time for me to let someone else enjoy it as I have too many other toys. In general, I bought it in 2005 with a rebuilt title at 31K miles. It has been with me since and I've made it as perfect as possible... Alpine supercharger, 2" BL, 33" Wrangler Duratrac, front brush guards and rear tail light guards. Rear headrest monitors, and front/rear custom claddings. Please look at the pictures in link below. I've also filled out all the questionaires as suggested for selling (see below). This is a very low mile VX with 113k on the odometer but engine was replaced at 93K mikes. Have detailed records since 2005 as the 2nd owner. Asking only $14K.
Thank you for reading.
Sorry guys, I tried to post the link of my VX from the Photos section but they are not showing up??? http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=1417[/IMG]
