Does anyone have any suggestions what to look for mechanically, if it otherwise looks like a fair deal. Test drove this morning everything worked great. I have 3 hours to sign the dotted line -- HELP !
    since none of the really knowledgable vxers replied yet ill try to help, from wat ive read on here, there are no symptoms to teh engine problem, so i would just quick mechanical check, no leaks, etc. also most dealers have print u out a carfax report, atleast the dealer i bought mine from did. a common problem among the vxs r teh windows and the headlights. the windows r sluggish or they dont go up at all. the rubber gasket on teh headlights usually fall off, so make sure those things r in working order.

    Make sure to do the "Standard used car" checkup.. Can you take to to a mechanich and have it checked out?

    The price, IMHO isn't too bad seeing that I paid over 30k for mine new.

    The biggest thing is to go with your gut, if feels right. I'm not sure why you HAVE to only 3 hours to buy but, if they are pressuring you to buy,, that would be a red flag.

    Goog luck!
