Should I be afraid?

[VXorado]

There aren't many of them left it seems, as they were a limited production to begin with. The only ones I can find are pretty high milage, and I'm wondering how these things hold up to high miles as the years progress.

Also, most of them seem to be in the snow states, do these cars rust easily?

Good question and the answer is debatable. Overall, the Vehicross uses high quality parts that hold up over the years. Pretty much every VX burns oil which requires frequent oil level checks and refills. If you're someone who doesn't mind opening the hood weekly and occasionally turning a wrench, a VX can be reliable for a long time. We have a member who got his VX up to ~285,000 miles before suffering engine problems. If you find a VX that you're interested in buying, VX Kat put together a checklist that goes through all of the common issues.

I've seen some rusty VXes from the mid west/east coast... but doesn't everything rust out there?? Shouldn't be a problem from the dryer states but make sure to check the undercarriage on any VX you buy.

Additionally, you have to like constant attention. Just last night, unlocking my doors startled a couple who was inspecting my VX. That never gets old.

Good luck with the decision.

I rather enjoy turning wrenches honestly. I will see if I can't find that check list. Also, I had an rx8 a while back, nothing burns more oil than that car did.


Thanks for the info.

After reading for hours, many reviews, etc. This seems like a pretty solid vehicle. As soon as I get back to the states, hopefully I'll be able to find one that's still in one piece.

However, after searching I can't seem to find that checklist. Would any of you happen to have it bookmarked?

and if you're really neurotic..here's the greatly expanded version of the questionnaire: Of course pick and choose what info you may want,as it'll probably intimidate or tick off a seller if you ask all these..LOL
but they're all pertinent and most are very specific to the VX.
