Hi all, newbie here. Not going to just jump in and blast with too many questions. Ive been reading the site for about a week now just trying to learn.

Im getting ready for a new daily driver. I have always loved the VX and there are a few available "locally" right now.

Of course a few days worth of reading will definitely put some fear into a person about buying one of these. I drive over 120 miles a day and put about 27,000 miles a year on a car. Most of the ones Im looking at have milage in the 70 to 80k range already.

I guess my big concern is engine failures and what if anything I can look for on a car to see if there may be an impending issue. Id really love to buy a VX but would really hate to have my daily driver down for an engine too.

Short of convincing someone to let me drive it for a few thousand miles to check for oil consumption what else can I do?

Any other advice about buying and living with a VX is of course appreciated.
