That statement throws up a red flag - IF it is a deadline from the dealership. Don't be pressured into buying, right now there are plenty of VX's for sale. While that doesn't sound like a bad price, it's certainly not a great price so don't bow to their pressure. The best response to dealer pressure is to walk away - trust me, they will come after you and make a better deal. If they tell you they have another buyer and that's the reason for the rush-rush, I'd still walk. They don't have another buyer, because if they did, they couldn't sell it to you. They may very well have someone else INTERESTED, but that's not a buyer - it's a PROSPECT. The first rule of buying a car is don't be pressured by the saleperson - he's the one that needs to feel pressured. You're a qualified buyer, and he is one of many people who have a product you might want to buy - make him work for it!

Now, all that said - go buy it if you want it! It's an emotional thing, and if you want it, you're going to do it. No amount of logic can intervene!

Seriously, make sure the vehicle is OK and then do what you feel you should. The VX has a few specfic issues, but none that are much more than minor irritations. You need to look for the same thing you'd look for in any used car purchase - history (svc records), talk to previous owner, look for paint work, take to your mechanic for a check over. Check the oil, the tires, the accessories, etc.
