2001 Proton for sale

[JMNY]

I posted this on the Facebook page but wanted to share it with everyone here. I am feeling out the level of interest for my 2001 Proton. It has approximately 112700 miles and has been garage kept and only driven on beautiful days the last 5 years. I have only driven around 2500 miles in the last 5 years but have maintained and upgraded a quite a few things. My plan all along was to keep my "Killer Bee" forever and that may still be the case. Oddly enough a few weeks ago I just considered selling it and my family is still asking me if I feel OK. Check list and more below. If you are seriously looking for a VX - and would like a Proton - this is one that may be at the top of your list. Any questions please let me know. Cant figure out how to attach pictures here. Message me - I have a bunch that I can share. I am asking 11k or best offer.

My VX is nearly all original with the Badging - added was a Magnaflow Muffler, new exhaust and tailpipe, a Backup camera, DC Converter on floor in the backseat (see pictures), All LED lights (headlights, taillights, side flashes, etc), new Sony radio with Sirius Satellite Radio, New front and rear speakers from Crutchfield, Roof rack, Rolla Basket, Skid plates front and back from Rudy, 4 new drilled and slotted rotors and brake pads installed around 750 miles ago (1 year), new caliper, wheel bearings and and I am sure there are a few more items I am missing. ** I have the original shocks, radio, brochure and more VX stuff that goes with the sale.
