95 Trooper with a buncha stuff nobody here cares about...
Checking it out, it is the real deal.
Look at the red on the steering wheel, how the seats look and the factory look of the engine compartment. I really think this is a Brand New VX.
I will be following this auction closely.
@BigSwede, thank you for bringing this to our attention!
There is also a 1999 Trooper with 51 miles...

goddamn. 26k is an insane price for a prowler with 219 miles.
Subbed. If this goes for <10k, someone got away with highway robbery.
Wow this has to be the lowest mileage vx alive to date. What a hoarder. Great find stashed away for the last 16 years thats insane
Must be nice to be some rich SOB an buy alota car then never drive them

Not sure if they are related, but there is an Ellingson Car Museum and Ellingson Classic Car dealership in Rogers, MN, not far from Somerset, WI where the auction is. Might just be a coincidence though, because the estate is called Ellingsen, slightly different spelling.
My only concern would be how well the car was prepped. The mechanicals might be nearly shot if he just parked it, rather than draining fluids, putting it on blocks, etc.
Guys, check out this lot of wall art that NO ONE has bid one. There is a cool VX poster included! https://www.k-bid.com/auction/9303/item/42?offset=42
Jeeeepers I bet it go fast with those Corvette decals on the door sills. Dang I'm getinsum for mine!!
If back then and I had my choice of colors silver would not be one of them, but its a freak of a low miler.
Kind of strange that he would put a k&n air filter in it and pretty much never drive it. And what are the red circle badges on the hood and engine cover?

Not to mention the Tazmanian devil floor mats. But I'll give those away free if I win.
I don't like having to pay for the entire thing before picking it up. I would prefer half at auction end and the other half at pick up. That's just me.
Possibly I could assist in any pickup efforts, Somerset is about 50 miles away from me.
