carfax deffo required, ive read in the past that Texas had slightly different rules to accident repair work, a car which would written off in any other state can be put back on the road in Texas, not sure if thats still applies but you need to extra careful when shows it a vehicle has passed through that state

looks a good car, someone on the VCA will recognise it im sure

i got a flight to Dallas for £250 so maybe worth hopping on a plane if you want to go for a closer inspection and piece of mind

I would not trust carfax....or similar service(s).

When I checked out two RT/10's in Feb this year I found that both have had an accident...check out the cars (on a lift!) or have a friend do it for you! Carfax was "clean". rolleyes

The Chrysler "computer" did not show the accidents either!
You will have to check the cars in person. Otherwise you might expect some surprise(s).
