I'm on my 2nd VX and have driven a hand full of others.
I've never had lean burn create a stumble, I've had a bad o2 sensor create a bad stumble and that is a $200 part, they tend to last 10-15 years but when they wear out they make the car annoying to drive, almost like the engine is sputtering to keep going.
Rust is the biggest killer of these cars, if you are on the west coast that should not be an issue, the next biggest killer is teenagers, before you go shopping take a look at some under hood photos of what a stock engine compartment should look like, exhaust manifold that has the o2 sensor coming out of the middle/top, black square air cleaner box with black air intake duct, I would not buy a car from 95% of teenagers or collage students.
Both of my vx's have had over 200,000 miles, the engines turn slow enough that they tend to last 300,000+ miles from what I've seen.
