    Unless I total (i.e. roll it) the VX, I plan on keeping it forever. There is nothing out there that picts my interest that will do the stuff I want/like to do in it. If the unimaginable (well maybe not to some that have witnessed my offroading) happens I will probably buy a well built older toyota truck (on tons and 40's) that I can wheel the snot out of and drive it home afterwards.

    I wouldnt want an X6. It doesnt do anything very well. For that price I would get a nice used AWD car for on road and a beater for a trail rig.

    I recently said farewell to me VX and got inyo a 2005 Infiniti FX35. Since I can't/don't do any off roading, it was a great move on my part....

    There is just NO comparison in the ride between full frame (VX) and uni-body construction (FX)... plus, I love the Nissan V6 engine.

    well, I traded it in at Chapman Chevrolet and I'm sure it went straight to a wholesaler. I believe VXKat already found the ad from that dealer.

    To answer your actual question....no, I didn't pass on this site since I didn't sell to a one on one buyer.

    I don't have plans to part with it..... but if I did....

    Merc G Wagon
    Even considered a Jeep Mojave or Rubicon to toy with

    Chances are, it would be a Subaru Forester XT Sport though. 3" lift, bigger shoes, nice all terrain package/modding. Tunable tturbocharged engine.... A project that appeals to me VERY much.

    The next vehicle in my queue is a 2011 Ford F-150 Raptor Crew cab. All back, with red and black interior.

    I hope I don't have to think about replacing the VX for a loooong time. I looked at Grand Cherokees in years past, but every time I checked out a used one I got that "all used up / never been maintained" vibe. I'd consider an FJ Cruiser. I recently saw the Trail Teams Edition - love that Army Green.

    Another VX would still be at the top of my list.

    It depends on what I can afford when that time comes & what my wants & needs dictate especially if gas is $6 a gallon by then.

    I was diggin the H4 Concept...but, that won't happen!

    If I part with her in the next 5 years and gas is still reasonable and I'm still stuck here in the snowbelt region, I could see me in a Ford Raptor....possibly a used one.

    If I can't swing that purchase...possibly a decked out FJ Cruiser either new or slightly used. I only like them when they are seriously modded though. Stock ones are a dime a dozen around here. Possibly a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon modded or G.C. but, quite soured on Jeeps since my G.C. had quality issues as well as my brother's '04 G.C.

    If I ever get to move out of this god-for-saken snow belt (retirement or job loss) and possibly move to California or Florida....I could see myself tooling around in only one vehicle and it would more than likely be a musclecar or Corvette. I really like how today's technology allows you to own a daily driver that is in the 400 to 500 hp range and yet is totally civilized for day to day living. It just doesn't handle snowstorms!

    But, I had the VX's rocker panels restored and now have her chassis oiled spring & fall so that day may be prolonged out alot further into the future!
