The good news is, there are those of us who have few problems with ours and love them. My windows did bind up, but I found that what caused it was when the lubricant began to dry up, it got sticky. My solution? I just left it alone. When the lubricant disappeared, so did the problem.

The hood insert on mine cracked and was replaced six times. The last and seventh time it was replaced, they didn't tighten it down so hard and it's been fine ever since.

My CD player was scratching on the sixth slot but was replaced and is fine.

Our insurance is quite cheap, less than $800 per year for two vehicles, one is a 1996 Toyota RAV4 the other is a 1999 Ironman VX. My husband and I are both over 35 and have excellent driving records. No accidents or tickets ever.

I never get tired of looking at, or driving my VX.

A good place to shop is ebay. There are six for sale there right now. We bought mine from ebay and have been happy with our decision ever since.
