Hello Everyone!
I'm looking at MY11 SX or a MY09 VRX with sunroof and the factory mod sound system. The Rockford one?
SX is asking $11900 with 50,000K
VRX is asking $13500 with 70,000K
Both have full services histories, the VRX comes with 3 year dealer warranty! Both are Hatches with almost perfrect body work. Both are manual.
What are your thoughts on both cars? I like the VRX more but it's asking for more and its a couple of years older? THanks in advance!

I'd go for the VRX -could you bargain them down a bit?

Thanks!.
Cheers for the reply! I've been trying to bargain them down, it was advertised at 15888 (rip off) and now its at 14888, but it was briefly at 13888, they actually increased the price!! I chatted to the guy today and offered 12500. He didn't budge any lower than 13500. I dont really want to pay anymore than 13K though, so I'll try for 13K in a couple of days maybe?

For performance you will get more from the VRX with its 2.4 4B12, yes its a little older and higher kms, but aside from the engine, age and colour they are very much the same car. You can update the interiors of these cars with the interior pieces of newer CJs very easily. Also, the VRX should come with factory leather and heated seats, a bonus.

THanks. Sadly the VRX doesn't have the leather seats, it would be a bit of a bonus if it did though. Comes with a tow bar, which I probably won't use, maybe once a year =(

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the VRX just cause it felt like a better drive than the SX. But I realise they are very similar. Hopefully I can get them down to 13K!

Welcome to the forum mate.
Before you buy, what's your budget? What's the most you're willing to spend?
