In the past those manuals have typically sold for $40. Looks like this guy is way-high across the board.

It's incredible the amount of used stuff on eBay that be found new and cheap or even free elsewhere. Owners manuals are a prime example. The entire VX glove box package is only $25 new.

Not exactly the easiest website to navigate if you're not a dealer - I'm guessing they design it that way to try and keep the eBay scalpers from buying them up. I wonder if that's where the eBay guys get their supply? What a scam if it is...

[deermagnet]

Yeah, I was gonna post the link right to the VX manuals, but I think it was a session type link and wouldn't work for long. Isuzu has a link for Helm on their site for owners to get manuals, so Helm is the official supplier.

Buy 'em for $25 and sell 'em for $90-100 on eBay.

OK, never heard of Helm before, thanks! Now I'm all edjumacated!
Glad you saved me from myself!

[vt_maverick]

This is right down the road from me so I could ship it to whoever wants it if the seller won't do it. $100 for both, but maybe he would let just the changer go for 1/2 price?

In case you didn't, there's another Proton 1:43 model for sale in Germany, ships worldwide:

I'm pretty sure it's the same as a Cararama, just marketed under a different name.

$50 on eBay right now. I'm sure it's not the same quality as Wet Okole (notice nowhere does it mention neoprene) but if you're just looking for UV protection maybe it's worth it? Food for thought...

Seat Covers on eBay

I ran their compatibility check, says no go on the VX. As for comparing to wet okole, not a chance, the wet okoles are made for the seat, as in custom made, just like the leather that is on it right now. Nothing short of coverking will be like the Okoles, but they too are a couple hundred bucks.

If they're not custom made to begin with how can they not be compatible? And yeah I know they're not the same, I have sat on yours you know.
