Is it my imagination or...

Nope, these things can run for ever, if taken care of properly and every precaution is taken........now same question but with Caddy Catera's..... i wouldn't accept one even if it was free lol

Not necessarily true. I babied mine all of it's life with it barely ever seeing anything over 3500 rpm. It drank a lot of oil, but I always stayed on top of it and it never even got to the half way mark on the dip stick, and I changed the oil religiously every 5,000 miles, used synthetic oil and had the pcv changed every oil change, and the egr cleaned every other oil change. Mine didn't completely blow, but it did lose cylinder three. I think some of them are going to go no matter what you do.

We have seen a lot of sales recently, but it seems like most of them are for either financial or family reasons. Maybe some just wanted something new. I totally plan on being a VXer for life, but this is the first car that I have owned for more than three years (going on eight now) because I always just wanted something else to play with.

Hardeman's point(s), and the rising price of gasoline (that doesn't seem to want to stay down while the economy is down), are the real issue here. If there's one thing I hate more than politicians (especial with all the BS commercials during campaign season), is the fat cat oil company execs....

Between the cost of fuel and the taxes we pay in order to step up MPGs (and buy a newer vehicle, it's a one-two "punch" they deliver while sticking their hand in our pockets!
