    I wish the guy that owned my VX before me would have came across this forum; when I checked the oil, there was barely any oil on the dip stick. I hope that this guy ran (slick 50?). This will be a good test on the durability of an engine that has been run low on oil for who knows how long.

    Oh yeh, Here's my ebony, 130K, got new wheels & tires on the way home from buying her. Spent 5 hours debadging, buffing & waxing. need to address the hood insert, and looking for a longer lasting solution for the cladding. Window tinting is also on the list.

    Possible Purchase???? Help me out, I'm a noob

    So today is the first time I've even heard of a VehiCross. I am shopping for a small, off-road capable SUV. I have seen some rave reviews on these things online but wanted your opinion. The dealer is asking $9500. It's a 2001 with 126000 miles. Is it worth the cost? Do these perform well off road? What do you think???

    Hey everyone! Here's a pic of me and my "new" ebony VX (with red/black interior):



    I got her last weekend from a guy on Craigslist here in the Phoenix, AZ (Scottsdale, actually) area - he purchased it a month prior from somebody up in Flagstaff, IIRC. Prior to that it was in Texas I believe. She has about 138k on the odometer, but still runs like a champ (drive-line seems pretty solid).

    Right now, she's in the shop. Biggest problem is safety related: No running lights or dash lights - so I can't drive her at night. All other lights work great, though. I'm also having the shop do a complete and thorough look-over, and repair anything amiss.

    The transmission fluid is an ugly brown - so that needs a definite look over (though it shifts great - no slipping or anything weird). I also need new front-end ball joints. I may also need a new timing belt (dunno when it was last checked or replaced). Maybe brakes. Maybe a bunch of things...

    Anyhow - I fell in love with the VX about 6 months ago, and I thought I would never find one; every one that came up for sale was bought before I could get on it. While I was test driving this one, the seller had two other people asking about it (one was going to fly in from Florida!).

    I got very lucky, I think.

    I got a bunch of mods I am planning on doing - but nothing to detract from her looks, and I am going to try to keep everything reversible, or otherwise hidden. I don't want to detract from her value. I really think the VX is on the verge of being a collectible, but I didn't buy her for that reason - really, what I wanted was a daily driver with 4WD and a tight wheelbase - I was looking at Wranglers and such - then fell in love with the VX when I first saw one - she's the sexiest vehicle I've ever owned.

    Yup, I recognize the rims and the lift Andrew!
    I do believe that IS the Ebony that used to be up here near me (for at least a year or two). Haven't seen it around the place the guy worked, so I figured it went somewhere. IIRC his name was Colby.

    Here is a quick Google images link to the search term... "Vehicross Moab"

    Hopefully this answers your question.
