Somebody bought the Starsky 'n Hutch VX in Bonham, TX?

All I know I that I HATE seeing the miles listed as 97,000 in the advertisement when it's documented as having a 100,000 mile rollback on the odometer. Good job AutoCheck for reporting that as a "minor issue."

still same odo rollback and frame damage issues...

Lots-o-worthless pics, none showing the engine bay or the undercarriage, just some lame glamour shots...

Extra points to the seller for mentioning the roll-back & frame damage in the description:

The items found on the history report point to a rolled back odometer, and unibody damage. The current title is free and clear and you should have no problem registering this car in your state. The odometer reading change is most likely from an instrument cluster replacement and as far as unibody damage goes I am unaware of any issues and am fully confident that the drivability and safety of this car is solid. All of this was done prior to me buying the car.

Paint/stripe don't match the pic in earlier links. Unless repainted, how da you know it's the same unit?

Good eye! The stripes have been replaced and are different now. In the earlier photos they didn't line up the same from one side to the other and were peeling / flaking (something you couldn't see in photos.) Also the seats have been replaced. I know this is true because I saw this VX in person years ago and they were in extremely bad shape. One thing you can't see - it smelled so musty that you would have thought it had been submerged for a year. My memory could be faulty, but I seem to remember that Richard painted the hood insert red to match the stripes.

But no matter what, the AutoCheck vehicle history report tab on eBay is IDENTICAL. It shows the mileage rollback from 190k miles to 90k miles and the comment about the auction reporting the frame damage.

I seriously doubt that all of that could be coincidence.

This VX is VERY memorable for me since it was the FIRST one I saw in person while I was shopping.
