I just found this on one of my local Craigslist pages:

The Vehicross is one of my dream cars. I’ve loved it forvever, but it’s never the right time and never the right price. But now, I mean I think it might be both?

He says in the ad that the transmission lines are rotted, and that the tranny itself MIGHT not be junk. I need clarification on that because it really should be one or the other. Did the transmission shit the bed and the lines rotted while it was sitting, or are the rotted lines the reason it’s been sitting? That’s an important distinction.

But it’s probably my second favorite color combo right after white with red. It looks like it’s in decent shape, a little rust but not too bad. Interior looks really good.

Ideally I’d sell my Yukon and buy it, but I can’t be without a vehicle that I can move my son with...I can move him with the Vehicross if the Vehicross works, but that’s kind of a crapshoot.

I guess I could sell the black Miata, but the Vehicross, fix it, sell the Yukon, and put that money into the red Miata? I don’t like the idea of selling any Miatas, so that doesn’t work well for me.

Eh, I’ll see if the guy even emails me back.

If it were in my area, I’d snap it right up. See if a Honda manual bolts up to it.

I think if I had a stick shift Vehicross I could die happy. That would be all I’d ever need for a daily.

The manual out of a Rodeo (or a Passport) would bolt right up to both the 3.2 and 3.5. Apparently the firewall is identical to the Rodeo as well, including plugged holes for clutch bits

Few have done it. Those who have, enjoy it.

The real question is: do you want to be an oppo hero?

I’m guessing the lines rotted and leaked before the trans acted up. Fix the lines, throw some fluid in it, might be ok. But then again, if it’s a Honda trans... Maybe not. I’d roll the dice on it for sure.

I love those things...you better get it. Even if it is a shot tranny that seems like a decent price

Nice! Love these weird little shoe cars. There was a beat up Vehicross by me that was listed at $7k. Pretty sure it sold, ad was not up long. Maybe $2500 isn’t that bad?

I think if I had a picture of my Vehicross towing one of my Miatas to an autocross I could run for President of Oppo. That would be the most Oppo towing rig I’ve ever had by a margin.

It needs to be saved, why not you? It will only take time, money, and sanity. Worth it.

I dont give a damn whats wrong with it but go. to. it. This is your moment, just take $2500 and buy it as a project, but the real question is: Will the vehicross be your project?, or will you be its project?

I’d like the Vehicross to mold me in its own image, haha. I think I’m leaning towards parting out my red Miata to help pay for this truck, along with selling my Yukon. That’ll get me most of the way there.

Right? I can get a Trooper tranny for $300, I’m not even worried about that. It runs and is basically solid, it’s worth $2500 all day every day.

Now, I would never advise getting rid of a Miata for anything, but it’s your garage after all

If I do red Miata, I’d have to part it out. I said the black one because I could basically trade it straight up for the Vehicross. Ideally I’d sell some parts off the red Miata, sell the Yukon, and buy the Vehicross...but I think I need to buy the Vehicross and keep the Yukon until the Vehicross works. Because toddler.

If you’re going to sell the black one, then I recommend swapping over all the goodies it has onto the red one and putting the red’s stock items into the black Miata. Keep the hardtop, they’re not getting any easier to find.
