The speedo thing

Hi,

We had the same issue on the VX that we got last fall. Changed the speed sensor and it was still intermittent. Couldn't find one on eBay at the time, so I paid too much at a local salvage yard for one with 98K. Ours had 225K on it when we got it, and the guy at the salvage yard, who drives a FifthGen himself, said that he's seem them all fail around 200K, including his own. It does make you wonder what the mileage really is when you get a car that's doing that intermittent thing - exactly how long has it been like that! After the replacement it's been rock solid.

Scott
