How Many VX's are still out there?

24 is in the range I would expect based on average of resales of 30-50 a month, derived from average length of ownership. 3300 VXs/(6 years average ownership * 12months) = 45.83 sales/month. AutoTrader doesn't capture every vehicle for sale. When I look at AutoTrader I mostly see somewhat fewer than 24, usually in the high teen's but I don't look every day. 3300 is probably also within my expected range.

I am surprised by the relatively few that show up in wrecking yards. You'd think that people in that business would be aware of the rarity and tend to hold them for parts rather that scrap them. If other predictions hold up I would expect 6 or 10 a month to show up in wrecking yards or on copart. That doesn't seem to be happening.

I believe that many are sitting in the owners hands that have been wrecked or have major mechanical issues because the owner truly believes that one day they will take the time and spend the money to have it back in operational status again. I think this is why we don't see many go to salvage.

We have several members that have done that. VX Crazy has one, and so does our friend in WA that has the 5 speed conversion.
