    I think I smell something fishy with this VX. In one of VehiGators posts he states the vehicle had 144k miles on it. The VX I'm looking at has 78k miles on it. I PM'd him to confirm the VIN number with his. I hope this thing isn't rolled back all shady like. I was really looking forward to getting it and hooking it up.

    I wish, unfortunately I saw it with my own eyes. I drove it and it drove really well. I'm going to be bummed out if this thing is shady.

    I found a post referencing 114K...still a fishy issue though.

    If it was rolled back the odo would show signs of the roll back with deep scratch marks in the odo. Perhaps they changed out the entire gauge cluster. You see them on sale on ebay whenever a VX shows up at a salvage yard. Could have been done prior to the current owner/seller and he/she doesn't know a thing about it...just a thought...
