[V-Max]

'Do my homework'? I think I have better things to do... I may not be a VX enthusiast but I will sleep comfortably tonight knowing that I am not socially inept. Thanks for making a newcomer feel unwelcome...think I'll stick to the Dutch website!

I think what they meant was that if you were told it's a VXR when you bought it then you were ripped off, rather than actually making a personal insult against you. £20K was a lot of money to pay for what is basically a modded tubby, but as long as you're happy then that's all that matters.

Hi Kev,

Welcome back to the UK in Jan...

I bought a blue VXR this summer. Engine has been worked on by a comapny called V-Max in Germany producing amazing performance...almost too much with 0-100km in 3.5 secs. The car was owned firstly by the owner of V-Max (they have a website) who had just about everything done to the car...lowered, racing clutch, hand made exhaust, ventilated disc brakes, lovely alloys, digital turbo controller etc etc...with a whopping €20k spent (I have the receipts). The Second owner was the Gold Medalist Speedskater Gerard Van Velde. He has several cars in his collection and needed space for the new Corvette.

The car is an absolute dream, hence my purchase, and I always wanted to own such a car. But I have 2 kids and I 'got the t-shirt' now so to speak. The car deserves an owner who can appreciate it and I have 3 cars myself (including the VXR) and my partner is not convinced that the additional cost is justified either.

So, you have the story. It's a left hand drive and I have the car at home in The Hague so that might put you off completely. Import costs I am not sure of but if you have the money this is definitely THE VX to own.

It's a 2004 and I paid €29k (about GBP20,000) with 39,000km on the clock. 45,000km on the clock now and second hanbd prices are holding well in Holland but I will consider a bit less but not much or I would rather wait out another buyer...(not yet advertised for Sale).

Ball is in your court... Black and white pic attached.
