    Don't know, but I get stopped *all the time* about it (now that it has been lifted and has appropriate wheels/tires on it), and people a) tell me that they've never seen one before and/or b) ask me what dealership I picked it up from and how much it costs *lol*

    Dunno about y'all, but I'd sell my E90 M3 before I sold my VX.

    ...perhaps its you who cant afford the Lambo


    The 20k..or whatever price really doesnt matter......
    By its very nature, the VX attracts individualistic owners.....

    ......... getting all owners to agree, would be like herding cats.

    Getting them all to STICK TO THAT AGREEMENT......

    What would be so hard about getting all owners to agree to wanting to SELL at $20k? As can be read by anyone when looking into NADA, KBB, Edmunds, etc, those prices/values are simply suggestions for current market pricing, but exotics, collectibles, and otherwise unique vehicles (such as the VX) are actually beholding to no such guidelines. Something that's already been mentioned, Barret-Jackson, is a prime example.

    It's not about VX buyers being individualistic, it's the being willing to BUY at that same $20k that has been and most likely always will be the glitch in the scenario where the VX is concerned. Buying low and selling high is obviously what everyone who wants to view themselves as a savvy consumer prefers, but the simple fact is that it runs counter to what is being proposed in this thread.

    Well Trekker, I figured this was hypothetical fun banter...
    ...hence the "cat herding"

    We've already experienced other areas where VX owners
    dont agree on things, even some for the common good.

    But hey ...if you say its not so hard ......


    ...have at it.



    Consider me member #1 in the price fixing club.....
    ....and I'll give ya 10% of the 20k I get for my VX...

    .... for your trouble

    That seems to be where you're misunderstanding what I'm currently saying jo. WE AREN'T DISAGREEING that everyone here would be only too eager to ask $20k for their VX if they were selling.

    I'm merely adding that past actions have indicated that some here invariably seem to also want it both ways; ie: buy low - sell high, and it just doesn't work that way. When WE buy low, WE lower the market values of our own vehicles plain and simple.

    You want to keep disagreeing with me just to be disagreeing even though we're actually agreeing, have at that.
