Me, I would hold off. Remember, if it isn't your favorite color and you buy it, your stuck with a color you really didn't want and a quality respray will add a couple of grand to the money you have already spent.Originally Posted by bssage

Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

Sorry rowhard,but that theory doesn't always apply and i speak for my self.Me, I would hold off. Remember, if it isn't your favorite color and you buy it, your stuck with a color you really didn't want and a quality respray will add a couple of grand to the money you have already spent.
I was hands down for either the black ebony or victory white,unfortunately i didn't found any that fitted my requirements,but i found my astral silver and after few days i just got in love with it.
You do nothing owning the car of your dreams in the color of your choice if the car doesn't meet your expectations behind the wheel.
Dakar was just the begining.

Hold off for one of your top three colors. I jsut sold my proton, 74K miles, for 8,100, so they are out there, especialy if you are willing to pay for shipping or fly and pick her up.

Osteo, I'm glad you finally completed the sale of your "horse"! Congratulations also to the new buyer of what everyone says is a great VX!

Me, I would hold off. Remember, if it isn't your favorite color and you buy it, your stuck with a color you really didn't want and a quality respray will add a couple of grand to the money you have already spent.I'm firmly in 100% agreement with both of those completely opposite viewpoints and I WILL NOT WAVER in saying both are correct!
On one hand I was adamant that I would ONLY consider buying Astral Silver. But the instant I saw the Victory White VX (that I ended up buying), I fell in love because it was in such surprisingly good condition even though white is absolutely my least favorite vehicle color. Now if I had my way, my dream VX would be Dragon Green. HA ha, it's fun (and strangely comforting) being a little crazy!

I'm with you on Dragon Green, right after Proton of course...

That's how it worked for me! I went to the dealership to look at a '99 Ironman, but we were arguing about my trade-in value when I happened to mention that I would just as soon hold out for what I really wanted... a Proton. He told me they had a new Proton on the showroom floor. After one look it was mine! I have never regretted that decision.

It's probably well documented but I'm too lazy to go look, how many miles on your Proton, if I may ask?
Super VXer
x2. The Proton is hands-down my favorite and glows neon yellow under K-Mart/Wal-Mart parking lot night-time lighting (an awesome sight to be seen at night under the lights). The Dragon is my 2nd favorite, and sparkles in bright sunshine with its metallic paint. I do wish they made a Champagne Metallic (aka Cadillac GM color "Gold Mist) which I think would look very elegant against the cladding contrast.I'm with you on Dragon Green, right after Proton of course...

2001 Kaiser Silver
This was the First Silver Vehicle that I ever owned. I was never a big fan of Silver until I my 2001 Kaiser Silver VX, it is like a Silver/Grey almost Platinum Silver. While I do admire the Foxfire Red and the White, I Love my Color! If you think Silver does not Shine, go to my Picture Gallery and you will be amazed, just ask Gussie 2000. ALC 1717
