Mine's got 80K and the shocks are fine. Still hit hard on the bumps.. just like new. no "bouncing"... but I've done the regular maintinence (wheel bearings, transmission fluid, brakes, etc.. ) I know it's a little expensive for some of the maintinence but 1. I'm doing all of it myself and 2. it was an expensive car (for me). But I can tell you it runs like new at 80k+.. when it's paid off 14months from now I'm getting a little civic to commute with so I can make sure the VX is around for the rest of the time I need it. I bet mine makes the 250k mark.. that's the goal.. maybe 300k.. anyway I'm hoping with the mobil 1 regular changes I'll make the goal.
