Hey Tone, i don't like your tone. I'm not an idiot, and I did research on the vehicle, and also found most of the issues when taking it to the isuzu dealer in my hometown. By no means am I slamming VXs or there owners in anyway. Like I said at the top of my post, this site has been awesome, very helpful, and until reading your message, I had never had a problem with anything posted to me. I take offense to your "so quit complaining". I did research for over a month non-stop on the net before buying. . . .and didn't find a lot of major issues with these vehicles, minus the passenger window. And as for something like oil consumption? not likely i can pull a dipstick before buying and realize it's gonna burn oil. There were absolutley no signs of burning oil evident anywhere on the vehicle. The exhaust leak, not a big deal, the shock, not a big deal, the window, not a big deal, a non-working cd player, who cares. But an engine burning that much oil, big deal. I don't care who you are, or how much you know, you can't look at a vehicle, and tell it's gonna burn oil.
And as for the conclusion, the dealer I bought it from is considering it a lost cause. . . .am I upset, yep. I was really hoping to get them to fix what was wrong, so I could continue to have a kick *** vehicle that turned heads, but instead, i'll end up another normal city dweller, with a normal truck or suv. I still have my crotch rocket though, and that's anything but average. . . .
Can't win em all. And thanks to everyone for there help on the site. I could see myself on here from time to time. And by no means do I mean disrespect Tone, you've been one of the most helpful members on here and I was about an inch away from ordering your hitch . . . before this happened.
