Just bought my first V-a 2006 Infrared with 3800 miles. Vehicle was owned by an artist in NYC who obviously did not drive it too much. The V was covered and stored in a heated garage for most of it's life so far. I have purchased the UUC shifter and will likely buy the GForce axles because it definetely does wheel hop! The passenger side rear view mirror won't move by the electric switch, but the right side works fine. I bought a used switch on eBay. Does anyone know if the entire switch plate can be removed from the top of the armrest without taking off the whole inner door panel? This would seem to be a much easier way of repairing the problem. Unfortunately the previous owner started using a cheapo car wash about 6 months ago, leaving swirl marks in the otherwise perfect finish. I got most out with a cheap buffer and Meguiars Swirl Remover. Anyone have a favorite buffer? The Porter Cable is on sale on Amazon for $116, which looks like a pretty good deal. Oh, BTW, paid $26K for the V, seemed pretty fair for what is essentially a brand new car.

I saw this car for sale on eBay about a month ago. It looked like it was in really good condition, but it was my least favorite color combination so I passed on it. I know a lot of guys really like the Infrared, so it would have been a shame for me to buy the color and not like it when many people want it.
