Has The VX Market Gone Soft?

[fotomaker]

I have noted recently that 2001 VXs with low miles are selling cheaper and cheaper lately. Has the bottom dropped out on us?

Here is a 2001 with 53K that just expired on eBay.
Not one bid at a $ 7100 minimum.

I guess I over paid for mine!

I think the New York location (possible rust issues), and high opening bid of $7,100 may have some bidders hesitate.

I've always seen that high opening bids get less bidders....nobody wants to think they "could have gotten it for less".....but a lower opening bid, even with a reserve, gets way more activity.

Sue just hit the nail on the head about rust issues, it seems to scare off more buyers then high miles do!

I just think everyone wants one, but no ones willing to pay or has the money to do so. Mines clean, great mileage, NO RUST and I'm hurtin for a sale.

VEHISIC you press the right button.

I personally wouldn't make a bit of rust to stop me buying a good,well maintained and running VX.

Rust is a fix i rather 100X deal with than engine blowing up and/or transmission,but again, IMO

The fact is, people looking specifically for a VX are few and far between.

Isuzu's have to be the most rust problematic vehicles in history.

Yeah I have been half heartedly trying to sell for over a year, but I kinda swung for the fences on my price. Now that I have gotten serious and realized that there are very few people looking in Florida, I finally broke down and did the ebay thing. reserve met nearly 2 day before auction end, and things are looking good with 2 hours to go, a half dozen different bidders and 67 watchers. Course i assume nearly all the watchers are you people just being curious, heh.

Best of luck Osteo!!

And sold at $8,100.

99.9% of people have no clue what a vehicross is , or who makes it, so probably 1 reason its a limited magrket & others may be worried about availabilty of parts.

sold to another Floridian?
We have our share down here. Hope it stays local

Guess you aren't old enough to be familiar with the Chevy Vega...

...or the original Honda Civic, or the AMC Matador...
