How much is too much miles?

[nocturnalVX]

But have the VX checked out by a decent mechanic to see if the mechanicals are in good shape. As said before... it is a matter of maintenance. My 2001 is creeping up on 140k, and is still in real good shape (especially being in Chicago it's entire life). Good luck!

Several of us put together a detailed questionnaire to help prospective buyers get key information, specific to the VX and some of its quirks.
Here's a link to it:

It's truly a very special vehicle! Good luck to you!

Yah, what they all said.

I'd rather a well maintained but higher mileage vehicle than a low mileage but abused vehicle.

Last year I bought a 99 Amigo with 150K+ miles on it & other than a bit of oil consumption, it's cherry. I fully expect to still be running it at 1/4 million miles.

How much would you be willing to pay for a '01 that is garage kept, supercharged, and only driven on Sundays.... with 65k miles?

I'm thinking if your answer is less than $20k, it will stay in my collection. (that's how much a keeper means to most of us, heh)

All good advice here though. Just have it checked THOROUGHLY before cutting that check. These things are finicky.

like everyone has said, it all depends. use the checklist that Sue mentioned. be mechanically minded or bring a friend that is. familiarize yourself with the timed maintenance items and have them show receipts for the work, whether they did it themselves or not. IF you have to pay for the work it in the first few months, you won't enjoy it.

most of all, find one and enjoy the VX addiction
