So I gather most of you guys here look out for the VXs for sale and I'd very much like to get some feedback from you.

I've been contemplating getting a VX for a while now and was never closer to it than now. I'd like to get one with clear title/history and not much more than 100k miles on the odo in a sound mechanical condition (don't care about the radio or windows problems, but don't want any rust).

My expectations that I can find one on the west coast (or maybe AZ) for $5k-$7k, however most of the VXs I've seen for sale outside this forum either had major mechanical issues or accidents in history, even at higher price.

Do you think it's realistic to find a decent car in that price range?

I found my current car on CL in California and been mainly looking at CL for the VX as well. Any pointers to other places it makes sense to check for the cars in that price range (looks like autotrader and ebay attracts sellers of the more expensive cars) will be appreciated.
