I do have a car charger. It's a Yaesu E-DC-5B, WORKS WELL. Also I have a power cord with a plug for the VX-170. BUT NEVER USED IT. Don't recall the number.
I hear you about yaesu ( i hate them)
I also hear you about Icom ( i think the best out there)
I will recommend the Icom T-90a
This is a Extremely easy HT to use
And Man it puts out Extremely well
( you likely would not believe me if i told you how well)
Also does not cost much
