I paid $1000 for my completely stock 94 VX with zero rust. The clear coat was peeling and had rear qtr damage but I was looking for a completely stock car and all the mechanical were in good working order!!! Unfortunately I didn't know the abilities of a VX when I bought it because I bought the hatch originally to do a gsr swap and boost.

I would say they are fairly hard to find because the hand full I have found since purchasing mine are in much worst condition for a lot more $$$.

The answer is: pretty rare. Esp in the USA. Not as much in Canada. They're still rare but there's less of a chance they're hacked up by teenagers. Clean ones go in the $1K to $2K range here, but usually will need rear qtr repair unless it's from the west coast.

Too many of these youngsters ruined the good look of this car. They should buy a messed up one and build it from the ground up.

For real though. I rarely see a clean, stock one around anymore especially the one with the V. I remember one time, I was up in Carlsbad, CA. at a Sears parking lot. I saw a white 92-93 V parked. My heart dropped. I wrote a letter to the owner and stick it on the window, I never heard from him or her.

There's one rolling around Bonita, CA. drivin' by an older couple. I try to flag them down, but was already too late.

I was lucky and bought mine new and still have it. I paid $12,500 which included the A/C because it is so damn hot in Texas during the summer. Dry heat of course. This picture I scanned of my car barely one month old at the time.

it's a pita, I was determined to buy one and was going to fly to sf to drive one back. I seen them really cheap in other states but expensive as heck in ca. I almost went to portland because it only had 150k and was a 1500. The guy seemed flaky though and I decided to just settle on my dx coupe that was only a bike ride away. I average around 42-44 mpg on my mixed driving commute. Just shift around 2k and often will shift 1-3-5 and coast in gear to a red light.

You never got tired of it?? I'm very amused of "original owners." I hope I find one like yours.

I always wanted to do that. Go far.. Take a plane, take a train. Go look at it and drive back. It's risky and exciting. I don't think I have anybody that's down to go with me though. Plus, I wouldn't dare go by myself. It's a lot of money involved.

sometimes they won't have the wheels but don't let that scare you. You can still find the correct wheels on CL from time to time for. I have a pair of vx rims on my car, just can't find the caps at a decent price.
