    I have been a member of numerous vehicle interest groups in the past. I have yet to find a vehicle which doesn't have its mishaps and this included my Mercedes Benz Unimog. And no, the majority of VX engines over 60k have not broken down. And then there is also Randy with his 130k and no problems. Go for it!
    From Unimog to VX - a serious change in velocity - a small sacrifice in voracity.

    I have already signed the papers with it sight unseen, except for 3 pictures.
    Yeah, I am a gamblin man. I'm sure everything will be fine though, I say with fingers crossed. I have always loved the look of this vehicle and am very excited about getting it.

    Congratulations to you. I took mine to the dealer for her 60k service right after I got her. Now I just switched to Mobil One synthetic oil in the engine. Will go to synthetic for drive train as well once due. You are going to love your VX. If you have little issues like the windows binding etc... this site will be a savior, and some things will be easier to work on than you might think.

    You have a large group of Texan VXer's in your area. They are great people and would love to meet up with you. Take advantage of the wealth of knowledgeable owners available to you.

    Welcome to the family!

    As I understand, most of you very happy with your VXs. Of course, there is always a case or two that have to deal with some problem, but that can happen to any car. and it is less likely to happen to Japs.
    For the most of you VX seem like a weekend vehicle, am I right?
    would it be a good day to day driver?
    I currentrly drive 2000 Nissan Pathfinder, 2wheel drive though, love that car but can't get VX out of my head. Would it be a good swith?

    are there any VX groups in Los Angeles?

    i personally used teh vx as a daily driver.....i have about 53k on my vx and not really worried about it blowing up at 60k...since tat only happened to a few people. but i switched to a smaller car because the gas prices r getting outragous here in the bay area....2.50 for regular unleaded....a full tank, 20gallons or so, was about 50 bucks....

    i duno how much mpg ur vx will get but mine gets about 300miles per tank which is aobut 15-16mpg...

    Hey Cascabel, since you own some other 4by4 suprems such as Uinimog I've got a question for you. How would you rate VX off-road capabilities compering to other vehicles that you owned? I ment everyday SUVs
