Hello & few possible purchase ?'s

[Dallas4u]

Again, not a bad price already... maybe see if they can throw in the 60k service (especially if there are no service records accompanying the vehicle).

Welcome. Good to see another Maryland VXer onboard. Hope it all works out.

Thanks! I've noticed a few Marylanders on this board and there's another Astral VX in my immediate area as well. I did see a Proton at Arundel Mills just before Christmas as well, but didn't recognize it as anybody on here.

I'm gonna go check this one out tomorrow hopefully as long as the weather holds out. I'm trying not to keep my hopes up too high as I have a feeling they won't haggle on the price enough to get into my range, but ya never know.

Thanks again guys!

P.S. Anybody else on here rather tall? I'm 6'5"-ish and I did get a moment to sit in this one, but just wondering if there is anything to be done to add a bit more room overall. I fit just fine (way better than my ex-FD3S ), but it would be nice to have a wee bit more room if at all possible.

Something is wrong .........
.
The price - just under $11 K price - for a 99 with 52K - is very low for a dealer. And it sat for 9 months on the lot.

A nice 99 VX with 52K would very likely be on a dealer lot for somewhere around 14-15K at most dealers in the area where I live ..... in western PA.

I agree that it's quite a low price and it was a shock to me when I saw it. I didn't even consider getting out to look at it until I saw the price and almost couldn't believe that it had been there that long. It is in a rather rural area though which tends to cater to the NASCAR type of crowd. I'm going to go give it a test drive during the day tomorrow and really look it over well to see if there's anything wrong with it. I'll also get the VIN for it to do a CarFax on it too just to get a better idea what's up with it. I did look over it somewhat the other day and it was generally very clean inside and out and I didn't notice anything out of line externally. It started right up on the first try and idled smoothly the whole time I was there (about 15-20min.). I may take my digital camera with me as well to take a few snapshots of it. I don't suppose anybody else on here lives in this area that could check it out that would know more about it than I do?

That price does almost seem to good to be true, mine I just bought 2000/ 46000 was $17,900 at the dealer before dickering. If I was you I'd ask for the previous owner's info if they're not willing to part with that proceed with caution!

The weather was pretty damn nice today (near 60) so I trucked on down to the dealership to check it out. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to make it there before they closed at 3pm, but I did get some pics of it and the VIN. I'll have time on Monday to go take it for a lengthy spin and give it a thorough once-over. Anywho, here are a few of the pics I took today for what it's worth (I hope these work):
