I'm also a noob looking for a VX

[simonsayz1]

Long time looker...first time poster. Been looking for a VX off and on for a while and found this one http://appleton.craigslist.org/cto/4715171415.html
JoFotoz suggested I post and think what other VX owners have to say. Seller is straight forward, said he is getting P0401 code. already changed EGR, All O2 sensors and cleaned the EGR pipe. Still getting code. Clearcoat is peeling in a few areas and the ABS doesn't work and light doesn't come on. He installed the SBC window brackets. Salvage title, 9 owners on carfax. What do you guys/gals think???

Did a google pic search and it came back to here with the owner being "eblank".

[Mile High VX]

Here's a post he put up about some of his mods:

Thx guys for the help!! What would you offer if in my shoes? Is his asking price about right?

I would think asking price is 2k-3k too high with a salvage title. The p0401 code is a gremlin I have it and it resets itself while driving. Particularly if I'm driving down the left lane on a stretch of road it comes on 100% of the time in that spot. My guess is it's a wire connection that is bad.

there's a few out there for sale!:)

[simonsayz1]

Thx again for the advice. Your right Mborodi and I'm not desperate to buy right now.

Unless Carfax has the reason for the salvage title and it is not something severe just stay away from it. You can tell by the pix the owner runs it hard

[simonsayz1]

Carfax said front end damage, hit a tree. "Extensive damage"
Going to keep looking
