Good luck with the job hunting, I know your pain...

As for keeping the VX, I would. Not just because it's a VX and this is a VX forum. Because it's a great all around vehicle and quite frankly, it's cheap money now and you'll kick yourself in the *** later. So, if you can swing it, you should keep it.

For future reference, stay away from Leasing vehicle. You pay less a month, but you get nothing in return after the lease is up...
