2001 VX vs. 2001 Rodeo Sport - Make Up My Mind!

To say that someone will have issue(s) XXX, and that it will cost XXX amount is a bit misleading, IMHO.
From my experience, I have never owned a vehicle that did not have it's quirks.
I would say you are likely to have window issues, unless the previous owner perhaps was a member here and was smart enough to get the metal tabs to correct the problem. You may get a oil burner. I bought mine sight unseen from across the country and had it shipped to me. Not a single regret!
One thing I can say for certain is you will love driving the VX, and the reactions from others.
I have had more positive feedback on my Dragon than any other car I have owned, and that's saying alot considering I've had some very rare big block american muscle cars in my past....
Best,

Sorry you're going threw some ruff stuff there Johnny. Yeah, the VX is a 10 year old vehicle and dealer support is ether nonexistent or very expensive. If you're not comfortable doing you own maintenance and repairs them things can get frustrating. Personally I think the VX is very easy to work on. If I had to replace a tranny or even the engine I’d feel pretty comfortable in doing it myself. I’m replacing the clutch on my sisters 04 ford focus today. Now that’s a pain in the a**.
