My VX is for sale

[roadsterbum]

My VX is up for sale. It's a '92. This is a 49-state "federal" VX with lean-burn that I bought in Colorado had shipped to California in April.

I bought the car earlier this year when the gas prices were crazy (almost $5/gallon in CA) and I was driving 50 miles round trip to my girlfriend's place 4 to 5 days a week. Well we broke up last week. So my gas sipper is up for sale.

I average 45 mpg with a 70% hwy / 30% city mix. I do utilize some hypermilling techniques (take off gently, shift below 2500rpm, <70mph on the freeway, coasting in neutral when I can) but I'm not a serious one, so your mpg may be more or less depending on your commute pattern and driving style.

EDIT: the car has 185/70/13 tires, and I haven't accounted for this in my gas logs. Adjusted for the 4.75% diameter difference over stock, my average is 46.6 mpg.

I don't need to tell you that a VX in this condition, unmodified, with A/C, is rare. It took me half a year to find this one.

Just because you traded the GF off for a newer model doesn't mean you have to get rid of your baby.

No kidding.

What are you going to replace it with?

[roadsterbum]

Haha I'm selling it because I no longer have to drive long distances - which is why I bought the VX in the first place. It'll be of better use to someone who does drive a lot.

I'm thinking about selling my Miata as well, and with the $ from selling both cars, buying a used S2000.

Now that you don't have to spend on a woman, buy a new S2000. Or, wait a few more months and buy the new Camaro.

FYI - the new owner came and drove her away tonight. I just know I'll kick myself someday for selling her...
