Hello & few possible purchase ?'s

[Johnny Bravo]

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):

Well, it comes with a roof rack... that was an option and a coveted item! The leather looks to be in good condition. I had the Astral Silver before, so it brings a tear!

Looks good. It seems like you really want it, so, I have an idea of what's going to happen.

[Johnny Bravo]

LoL Dallas I still really need to give it a drive and haggle on the price. As of right now it's a few grand more than I can really go so I'm crossing all of my fingers and toes that they're desperate to sell it and will hook me up. I had noticed the roof rack too and had never seen one on a VX before other than what I figured were aftermarket ones. It's a Yakima fwiw so I dunno if it's factory or not, but it matches paint-wise so I suppose it's possible. Anyway, if it doesn't work out then I'll certainly supply all the info I get about it to anybody who's interested then go find myself a nice '98 Grand Cheroke 5.9 Limited (oh it's a beast alright ).

Johnny,

My Cherokee V-8 was in the shop constantly. At 30K miles it was enough for me. It was a '99. Maybe they have gotten better. That VX looks to be in great condition. My advice to you is to buy it even if they can't meet your price as long as the history checks out ok. I've always found if there's something I really want and it's a bit more than I can afford I always found a way to come up with the money and just worked a little harder for awhile. It was ALWAYS worth it!! It really makes you appreciate it!

Good luck!

Alrighty, so I got a chance to take the VX for a spin yesterday. Overall it seems quite nice other than the windows not working (not surprising though ). I didn't have much time to chit-chat with the salesperson or dealership manager, but at that time they wouldn't haggle anymore on the price. So, I may try to stop again later this week so I can have more time to talk to them about it, but as of now it's a bit out of my price range.

Anyway, so if anybody out there wants more info on it, pictures, or just a general impression of that VX just lemme know and I'll give ya the lowdown. Thanks again everybody for all the help/info.

If you have the unit's VIN number I'd be happy to look into any work done on the vehicle by authorized Isuzu service centers. We generally run a Carfax on every unit that hits the lot but on pre-owned Isuzu units a lot of times the Isuzu service history tells an even more complete story than Carfax does.
