Just check out all the known trouble areas and if all looks good...go for it. Its a VX...you won't regret it!
He wasn't a member of the board, and yes it rubs, so I'll have to lift it. It looks like he painted the spots where it was rubbing...

What are the known trouble areas?

What you think about the price -- it is still higher than edmunds pp suggestion...

Thanks,
