    Wow !

    Your VX is in very clean conds. Love it

    I always found vey nice the contrast from white to all the red with black mix.

    Did you solve the ABS issue ?

    What about the door & the hood ?
    Dakar was just the begining.

    i am taking the car into a body shop tommorrow morning and getting the door fixed for $40

    the hood i am going to wait till i paint the cladding to take off and fix. i dont want to have to take it off twice

    and as far as the abs goes i am getting the dealer to replace my pads... maybe thats the problem... but after than i hope it goes away but i will post the results... i was looking into the self code reading test and will attempt that if it doesnt go away. i disabled my abs on my formula and it never bothered me.. so i dont car to have it.

    as far as the car goes it is in real good condition, i am glad i found one so close to me!

    Personally i don't believe it has any thing to do with the pads,the ABS sensor is located next to the battery & probably need to being replaced.

    When i bought my VX the pads & the rotors were completly worn to the extend that there was no breaking & my ABS works perfectly.

    If the dealer tells you that's related to the pads he's lying.

    Dealers are under law both,federal & state obligated & to sell all they vehicules with all safety features in pefcet working conditions.

    They cannot sell you an vehicule with worn or broken seat belts,broken cat coverters or mufflers,they cannot even sell you a car with a blowed head light bulb & that has nothing to do with mileage.

    I painted my cladding but did not unbolt it all because I did not want to mess with the rivets in the fender well. My paint job really sux on the truck anyway so I just taped it off.

    does the cladding ever shift to where you can see where you werent able to get it with paint... i was looking at a few other people and saw how they left the cladding on... i might leave it on because it would save an ace load of work and time

    I guess I dont know what you mean by shift. There were a few spots that I noticed I had missed but not bad enough to a passer by or someone who isnt really looking it over.

    You should,there's no excuses about safety my friend.If the dealer's about to give you hard time just mention these words : DMV office of dealers & complaints.

    When you open a complain file agains any dealer in the US they'll rapidly answer you request by asking you more details concering the problems you are confronting with the dealer,then the DMV will call the dealer & ask them even more question,If the dealer had prior complains by other costumers the DMV would get hard on them.We talking about possible fines and/or dealer's license suspension.

    If you need official info call the DMV & explain them the situation.
