    WOW...LOW MILES...

    But is it 21,000 total...or 21,000 on the new engine?
    And why a new engine after 21,000 miles.

    ...which must be in the $14500 range.

    Yep. The owner is playing a mindgame with that one. I would have LOT of questions to ask first, but it looks like a pretty good buy at first glance.

    Back to my earlier post, the guy that offered me $20k "claims" that when he looked at the VX years ago he was looking at a Proton on a dealer's showroom floor and the sticker said "$38k". Not sure where he was buying from but that was either highway robbery or he was mistaken (or lying). I figured that is why he offered me so much since he thought it was pricey in the first place. Oh, if he only know that I paid $21k (6%) for my first Dragon Green and then $24 (0%) for my Ebony, hahahaha.

    The religious R.P. changes seem kind of a waste...unless it's since the engine is new, not the car. Maybe his religion calls for swaps every 21,000 miles.

    I think it's "Bushanomics".

    The square root of (24,000-21,000) x (x) /(135 x0500) = (x trillion /y)=71,513,706.9380

    24,000 being the second stated mileage
    21,000 being the first stated mileage
    x being 3 the cost of the war in iraq
    y being 4195 the number of US troops killed in iraq
    135 represents the number of VX's that he says were produced that year
    0500 represents the last four of the vin of this VX which says this VX was number 500 produced that year
    the sum (true mileage on the engine) just happens to be the same amount that each life has cost in the war. Who said Bush thinks life is cheap?

    We sit together, my VX and I, until only the VX remains.

    54000 miles originally ten the engine swap and an additional 24000 was added for a total of 78000 miles.
