    Here's My Astral

    1999 Astral 28K on the ODO









    Everything on it works perfectly, all plastics are there and in good condition, the only problem is a small dent in the rear cladding and a cracked drivers side taillight.

    If you have any questions or things I should look out for mention it and I can take a look. Does not burn oil, and got about 21-22 mpg.

    I might do the Rocky Mountain sliders, and OME lift but I don't know if I want to change any of the factory stuff. I don't want anything too crazy but having a nice trail rig would be nice

    Looks just like my Astral the day I drove her home minus the roof rack.

    Please take care of it! It will take you any where you want to go for many, many, many miles.

    Have fun and happy VX'ing

    But where did you find this beauty? Where did she grow up?

    Also, what part of AZ? The Phoenix & Tucson area VXers and myself (I'm about 90 miles North of Phoenix) try to get together every now and then.

    I am in the Wickenburg area when I'm in AZ, Santa Barbara for the winter and Alaska for the summers. I will be in Wick next Saturday through Friday the 18th. I got it from a very nice man in Fremont Ca who bought sight unseen from an older gentleman who had it garaged for a long time. That's the extent of my knowledge about it, I'll get the vin later so I can unlock it's secrets. I drove it around La Paz county today and fired up the 4X4 on a trail to see how it works, and I'm pretty sure it was the first time it had ever been in 4 Low and first time on dirt. It handled famously on the twists and turns, even accelerating into turns.

    I'm not sure I stayed around 65mph, I drive slow because I'm used to big trucks, and Semis. I'd like to think my VX is special in that respect, I know it's a thirty little car but this one has so far been not too bad. I try to stay at lower rpm's, the car is bone stock as well if that makes any difference. Factor in human error as well, when I go to AZ this weekend I''l find out definitively, it's a 20 gallon tank right?

    Dude those seats are virginal!!!! Wow. Great score man. Very few with this low mileage. That's the number my baby was at when I brought her home.

    I would suggest just keeping a regular check on your oil. Mine starting using it seemed like out of nowhere. It doesn't use so much that it feels like a bad thing yet, but if I was putting more miles on her I'd probably be putting in about a quart every week and a half.

    It started for me around 50,000 miles.

    Good luck, because now your addiction begins!

    Congrats on the good find.
