Considering moded VX

[Johnnyh66]

Hello everyone!
I've wanted a VehiCross since they first came out, or at least since I first saw one in Car & Driver. I believe the article described it as a dirt bike on 4 wheels!
Anyway, I just found one in my area that I can afford.
It's had several modifications: SUPER CHARGER BY ALPINE, AIR INTAKE SYSTEM, VAC. BOOST GAUGE, AIR/FUEL GAUGE, BELTRONICS VECTOR FX2 PERFORMANCE TIMER.
I am in no way an expert on moded vehicles and I was just wondering what you guys thought.
I'm guessing that mods void the warranty.
In your opinion would it be a safer bet, as far as reliability, to buy a stock VehiCross instead?
Thanks,
John

Hey that is Machine VX. Did not know he was selling it? How come bud?

Edit: it is a NICE VX, has all the goodies... but I would rather by a stock one and do the mods myself.

Cyrk,

Looks like he traded it in for something. CarMart looks to be a used car shop.

I just e-mailed him with a few questions.

There is also a stock one in town right now for $1000 more and a few less miles.

I read a vague statement on carsurvey.org that there's a possibility of catastrophic engine failure at 50,000 miles?
Does anyone know what that's about?
Thanks.

As soon as your counter passes the 49.999 miles, your engine blows!

But seriously if you want to drive safely with no hassles, buy a Toyota!
Don't look at VX's and definitely no supercharged ones.

Come on! Isuzu Rocks!

Well right now I have a 3000GT so "safety" is not my top priority
I was thinking of buying a 68' Mercedes this weekend when I stumbled on the VX.

I called about the other one, the waranty expires next April... so?

'01 Ebony - 86000 miles - still under warranty.
