Congrats MsConduct, it seemed like Joe's Dragon was for sale forever and I know a lot of us would have loved to own it as a 2nd VX. Good choice!

I wish Lancia would start selling cars here again... Fiat is back, so there is hope. Yes, the Lancia (I had a Zagato) was definitely ahead of its time. If you recall the car selection of the early 80's (like the "K" car, the uglies of the Mustangs, and other yawners) the Zagato was a real find. Front-wheel drive, incredible handling, fuel injection, and a very cool targa/cabriolet roof. The engine and the trans/clutch were all still original when I let her go. What did me in was an exhaust system that could no longer be legally smogged in California (due to a technicality...she was clean) and frustration with an aging "modified Lucas" wiring and electronics system. In this case, "modified" meant that they took the few parts of Lucas that still worked, and messed those up, too. I got really skilled at bump starting a car. Learned not to hit the high beams with the wipers on, and used the brakes sparingly because the taillights would draw too much juice if the lights were on. But I loved that car.
and BONUS.....you can stop at Hadleys in Cabazon, going and coming for a world famous "Date" Shake....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Stop it, you guys! Don't tempt me! Besides, the Zagato doesn't have cup holders, so I'd probably spill the date shake and get the seats all sticky.
Hey guys, I used to have an account on the forums about a year ago, but I forgot my username, so I just created a new account. I've liked the look of the VX for a long time, but have never had the opportunity to get one. I've been lurking and reading for awhile and have been trying to find a VX for me. Add my name to the list of perspective buyers!
Dont forget the dinosaurs!

Howdy.....from "HONEST JOHN"......lol....youve scored double....great truck even greater bunch of owners....
Another VX (99' Ebony) on my street this morning....... I invited her to the forum.... that was a pleasant sighting. I was just telling my wife that Ive never seen one in my city.EVER!
as Brucey, (John McClane), says "Welcome to the Party Pal"
Nice to see a lot of old friends here. :-) Just looking thru, trying to get back into the Isuzu game by means of a VX really soon.... Might possibly end up with another Amigo or Trooper as I need to get something quickly and can't afford to wait for the right VX necessarily.... but we'll see. I really want one and I think it's about time I get one. :-) Anyway, I'm sure a lot of you remember me, but for those that might not or might need a refresher...
I used to run the 4x4Wire.com Isuzu Pages with Randii Burleson... Spent a good 5 years or so modifying and 4-wheeling Isuzus until some financial problems took me out of the game for awhile. Finally have the ability to afford a little something nicer at this point, and just recently lost a battle between my Montero's front end and a trailer hitch, so I need to get something relatively soon.... Hoping it will be a VX so that I can finally drive the one Isuzu I haven't had the opportunity to drive yet. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, drop me a line sometime. Thanks guys and girls.
Great to see you back, Chris

I just joined this forum. I am thinking about purchasing a vehicross. Very cool truck, mostly wondering whether they can be maintained.
Hi I don't own a VX yet but will hopefully by the end of March. Driving a 86 Suzuki Samurai right now. I live on my boat in the Columbia river about 25 miles west of Longview, WA. Drove to Portland yesterday to test drive a VX but after inspecting the outside it has obvious it was a crashed and quick repair to dump vehicle. I'm 6'4" so was concerned with the my "fit" but it was totally comfortable and got me even more excited to have one. So I'm lurking your site for a VX to buy. Will be ready with cash by mid March. Color isn't really a concern but I'm not interested in anything that's been wrecked and repaired. Of course the less miles the better. Under 10k price too. So if you know of a good one for me please let me know. Also any within a 400-500 radius of Yuma, AZ. Going to visit family there in March so could fly there then drive home. Sammy will be for sale after I get my VX too. It's a decent one with no major mods.
