[Vettesetter]

Not enough info, but seems like a bargain at first glance.

[built2rev]

Needs the windows tinted... But seems like a pretty good deal.

[Bill_AirJunky]

Good price, great boat. Looks like my brother's XTI without the SkySki graphics.

Deal breaker right there

I agree with Vettesetter, not enough info but looks like a great deal.

[Pnwrider]

I'm guessing its gonna need some TLC at that price. If not, that is a deal.

[bunji169]

Good deal. I sold an 04 LSV last year for $42k. $26k is an awesome deal. It would be worth and inspection by local dealer just in case there's any hidden problems.

Salt water?

[vigwilson]

It would have to be in terrible shape or something seriously wrong/scam if he still has it. Deals like this last 24hours max.

[WakingMeHappy]

Way too much red.

[New2Texas]

Not enough information to make a decision in my opinion.

Looks pretty dirty and has sun damage you can see on the top of the bow seats. It likely has sun damage on the top of the dash too especially with the color of the dash. Could still be nice, but expect to replace the interior if you want it to look decent. I doubt it was well maintained based on how the interior was cared for. You can also see some decent gel scratches on the deck from the bow picture. I wouldn't call this a steal but a decent price for the condition.

Do you want someone to look at it or do you just want opinions from us armchair qb's? Have you called the seller and got a feel for how it was maintained and what shape its in or did you just find a "deal" on the internet? We need a little more info from the OP and the seller IMO before I'd commit to looking at it.

what tower is that? I thought all 2005 VLX's had Illusion towers?

It was an option from the factory until 2007 or 08... Titan III tower

Probably one of the best, most trouble free towers ever made. Titan III.

vinyl looks beat. I'd want to see better pics for sure. And more details (like how many hours?).

[TallRedRider]

Please change the title so that those of us not in california don't bother to open up the thread wondering if we can help a brotha out.

Some of you are trying to call an '05 VLX for 26k an okay deal? That's getting to a steal/scam price. Most are selling in the mid 30's. A little fading, minor scratches, or a little vinyl wear is typical of those boats going for 35k. Either this is a scam, something really wrong with this boat or it is already sold.

Out of curiosity I contacted the owner. Boat has 925 hours and resides on a high desert lake community.

Is the boat on spring valley lake?

Yep. It has been a couple years since I have there (my brother owns a house on the water) but I thought I recalled seeing a red Malibu.
