Polie,
Do your homework on the VX if it's the one @ http://www.bonhamchrysler.com/
I'm in Texas but opted to buy one on East Coast that had a clearer history. I tried to send you the CarFax link but it expired...I ran one on this particular prospect. As I recall, there was a sizeable difference in the history mileage and what the odometer actually shows now. Here is what the salesman wrote me about it:

There is a big difference on the vehicle mileage and the carfax mileage. About a 100,000 mile difference.

It sounds like you are mechanically inclined....just be careful. Either way, I'd drive a helluva deal on this rig. It's been for sale with them for about a year now.

I am going to have to lay off buying a VX for a while. I was just in a wreck and will be out of work for a while and until insurance starts to kick in I will be iving off savings.

I was hit on my bike while going to work and it re-cracked some ribs and tweaked my back. I dont know if I will be doing much of anything soon

Dude, sorry to hear that your injured.... Listen closely to Fe's advice on that mileage discrepency. I would tell that dealer to spit you out a carfax on that thing 1st.

Well when the time comes to buy, I think I would rather buy from a community member, even if its a little more $$. I would rather support the community and friends vs Joe Pole Smoker Used Dealership and Emporium. lol

Hey Polie sorry to hear ya got banged up, but at least you're still kickin. Take you're time and recover. You'll find the right VX for ya.
