thanks all for setting my mind at rest, its been exactly a week now since i picked it up and it gets better and better!!

I could do with a FAQ's sheet to hand out to all the people who come upto me and ask about the car, same questions every time!, havent come across anyone yet that doesn't love it!

This board is GREAT! just like the jeep board i used to use with my last vehicle (wrangler) invaluable source of information.

I might be rambling here and changing subjects but...since the VX isn't made anymore and will become more collectable as time goes on, I'm guessing depreciation will slow down to the point where you cant buy a decent one for book price which continues to go down....Has anyone looked into classic or agreed value insurance? I had it on my Opel Manta back in England, it was totalled in an accident, book value was only a couple of thousand but my agreed value policy paid out 3 times that which was the real world cost of finding another mint example. The insurance was also cheaper than normal because they figured owners were car nuts and freaky about looking after their cars.

just a thought!
