Damn iPhone, got me again. :rolleyes:

Absolutely the GXP, Bill .... and THEN there is a "dealer" mod that will give one about 300 HP!

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Ron, only looking readward to see the cars you passed - and the sideview mirrors work just fine for that :lol:

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Yes, TRUNK, TRUNK - it is practically non-existent!;)

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

That is for sure! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Ack! A neighbor of mine had one of those. The handling was standard Buick (read: as maneuverable as a river barge), and the electronics were constantly on the fritz - and everything on the car was electronic.
Darn, I had my "you can only take one pair of socks and a toothbrush" line all ready, and someone beat me to it.

I think both roadster versions (Pontiac and Saturn) are pretty neat looking. The convertible top on the Pontiac gives me the willies due to those humps behind the seats though. I've never seen a coupe in person but the pictures are sexay.

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Soooo ...... what the folks that know my cars - the '92 Pearly (4.44 gears, resealed and timing belt, etc, maintained by OT, 141K on the car with a 120K engine and 75K transmission) and the '97 RED garage queen with only 80K on the clock (all maint up-to-date by OT) think their fair market value is??? If I found and acquired one of these coupes, I'd probably have to sell my 2000 Tundra pickup too - even the fellow that sold it to me a few years back wants to "but it back"!

Harry,
It all depends on where your focus is going to be in the future. The '92 Pearly has merit if you really want to continue to autocross an SVX, not so much if you don't. The '97 has merit if you're looking to do some long distance cruising and want to keep showing up at Reading in an SVX. Then again, you could show up at Reading in the '92. You'll want to keep the Tundra as a tow vehicle and to support your Habitat habit;) Tow vehicle if you want to tweak the '92 into ESP or just push it even harder in GS without worrying about having to drive it home.
As far as values - probably Tundra, '97, '92. I might even be interested in the '97, as I was just informed by my better half that our 4.0 GPA, soon to be college sophomore daughter wants to take a car back to college with her in the fall and it might be my Accord dd. :eek:

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

And Bill, your offer on the '97?? Remember I have LOTS of SVX parts in the basement - like enough for a complete car, almost .......
Harry

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Harry

Using my value graph, it looks like the 97 would be worth $7,500 or so, and the 92 would be around $4,000. More info may need to be looked at to adjust the price up or down, but that is my first impression without it.

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Thanks, Earl. Kinda puts it in perspective ....
Now, to decide, talk the wife into it, sell the SVXi, and then find a coupe. Oh, I forgot the lottery bit ... :D

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Harry,
We should talk. Any days next week better than others? I'm up at Penn State Fri-Mon with the youngest daughter's last volleyball tournament of the season.

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

A box o' wine will fit in the trunk. So what's the problem?

Ron.

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Very true, Ron ....

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car
 

Bill, this means a trip out to "God's Country" for a look-see and smoke it over. I'll PM you my cell number and you can call most any time. Monday nights we dine with "other" old retried farts, Wed mornings I work at the Food Bank, and look after the granddaughter on Thursdays. And this coming week I am out "begging" for donations for our Ruritan car show coming up Aug 3, but there is no set schedule. Nights are good ...

You know, I could make you a really attractive package deal with all the "extra" parts I have in the basement :D And it would be very encouraging to know the '97 will be going to a good home ... How about the '97 AND the '92??;);)

Harry
