Craigslist and other finds
 

Just came across this beauty while searching for something else...

So I thought it would be good to start this thread

Post your Craigslist or other SVX finds here!

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Here is a dirty green machine I found on Craigslist recently. Not my taste, but if the 5 speed swap is correct, then there might be something here at that price point for someone.

Again, no affiliation.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

That makes me feel as green as the car! :eek:

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

OMG that's FUGLY....

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

I know, You CANT UNLOOK IT!! LMAO!!

But it IS a 5 SPEED swap for less than 2G. If it even runs. I didn't call.
As I said, it isn't for me; but you have to love someone else's vision. ha ha ha..

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Ok, here is a better one. Low mileage example. What do you guys think about the wheels? I like the look.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

I like the wheels but looks like too much work for me for cleaning. Only the front tires are new....HMM..

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Nice wheels, nice exhaust, the fender flares are interesting. Overdose on the Armor all!!! Even the steering wheel.
Also it's kind of cool to see a '94.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

I’m not sure I have ever seen a 94 with the LSL package. Mostly the FWD econo.
I wonder if it is rare?

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

This is a great idea.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

If the green one were not so far away I would give it a look because of the 5 speed. I would do a vinyl wrap to correct the god awful exterior. I am not a fan of the flares on the black one although it does seem to be a nice car.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Black 1997, LSL 70K miles, looks to be in nice shape:
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto...782406765.html

If I didn't already have one, I'd be very tempted to pick that one up.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Only the rear wheels are on wrong. :)

I'm really tempted, I'm a minimum months away from getting mine back on the road... would be great to just have one I could drive now...

Although, even the best condition ones are going to projects these days... It should get it's timing belt and water pump changes ASAP, replace various oil seals, and so on....

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

A 1992 with 5 speed manual conversion performed by SVXFiles for sale:
https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/...784754079.html

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Those wheels are not for me. Nice car though. Hard sell at that price unfortunately.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

The seller states that it sells with original wheels instead of the ones that are on it. 200 extra bucks if you want it with the custom wheels. Not sure its a good sales tactic.

The nice thing about this car is that it seems usual maintenance complete. I like the thought of that.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

That is Tommy Crowfoot's SVX. He is one of the admins on SVX Nation.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

That 5-speed swap looks better than mine did. Nicely done! If this didn't look like it had been owned by a 20-something, and if I had a place to put it, and if the price were a bit more realistic...

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

The Claret with the 5spd in Hudson Valley is mine. I made the ad without having all my pictures ready and just haven't updated them and pricing. The car is pending sale for $6600 with the 16"wheels and my extra parts that come with it. Scared to sell... But hey. for that price its hard to pass up the sale!

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

2 posts = extreme lurker :lol:

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Wow, congratulations on the sale at that price! Well done.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Here's one on the west coast. Not the greatest ad detail, but if the listed miles are correct; it could be a find at that price.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Here is one in Florida with good miles. Looks clean.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Either he has the year wrong or it is a repaint.

There were no 1995 Pearlies.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

A single wheel on backwards appears strange and does not indicate an enthusiastic owner. However the price is illuminating.:confused:

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Yeah, I put this on a different thread and it was quickly pointed out that it’s a bad paint job. Looking in the engine compartment you can clearly see It’s prior color green.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

$12999 for a 1992 with 41K miles on it:
https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/...823856799.html

Although, since it's missing the SVX pen, maybe you get the price down...

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Another 1992, this time 52K miles going for $9995:
https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/c...824962649.html

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Yet another low mileage 1992, this has 63K miles on it, going for $6500:
https://littlerock.craigslist.org/ct...821314682.html

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Wow, this one is beautiful! I live about 1.5 hours from philly when I’m home.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Low mileage cars are getting rare. Is it me or are values perking upwards on our cars?

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

And it's only an LS. Imagine if it was a real SVX!:rolleyes:

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

For 1992, there seems to be very little delta between LSi/LSL and LS, I've owned both. I would say that the 1992 LS had a nicer interior, the seat covers hold up better to wear and tear, other than that it's missing the sunroof (which is less things to go wrong/leak).

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Two for the half price of one. They both may be parts cars; but being sold as a project. No real detail in the pictures; but could be a good buy at that price.


https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/...854934251.html

Also nearby, there is a high mileage 94. 170,000 miles!!

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Nice looking JDM SVX for sale on the East Coast ($7000):
https://myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/c...896560217.html

I don't see much appeal is paying more to have the steering wheel on the wrong side, but I know some folks really love these.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

I thought after have 14 SVX I would know most of the ? to ask before buying another but got screwed for not asking if it was the original color did not think to ask. was looking for a laguna blue one in the north west could not find one wanted to do a complete restore. for a keeper love the color. found one almost into cali. in oregon 500 cost me 1800 to get it picked up and transported to spokane washington needed upper door glass and windshield I have those. and seeing how it was going to get a 6 speed did not care it was front wheel drive have rear sub frame but. when it got here my blood boiled he did not state it was a red one repainted blue and you could tell on the edges so it was not like he did not know. and I did not think to ask.:barf::(:(

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

Oh no! So sorry to hear that. I would be seriously upset. Hope the project is still a go, or worth it to you. Sometimes I think nothing is what it seems.

Best regards,
Ian.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

nope not putting the money into a non real laguna blue it needs to much work for what It will be worth when done. I just have to eat it. and save the money for a real one. there is to much wrong with this car.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
 

May hobby is fantasizing about owning too many SVX. Here's my latest round up from craigslist across the USA. I'm noticing more low mileage cars with more reasonable price tags this time around:

A 1997 with under 100K on it for $2800:
https://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/cto...889870855.html

A 1992 with a custom "metallic burgundy" paint job for $5000 (110K miles on it), it's always nice see how non-factor paint colors look (although I'm strictly Pearl, Black or Silver myself):
https://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/c...894458277.html

Another 1997 with 80K on it going for $3950:
https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/c...888198887.html

A 1994 with 80K for $3500 (burgundy & FWD):
https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto...901575686.html

A 1995 "L" with 78K for $2495 (polo green?):
https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/ctd/...901655596.html

A 1992 Pearly with 57K on it for $7499 (this is one I'd consider if I didn't already have a 1992 Pearly with less mileage on it):
https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/c...903523917.html

Nice to see a few nice looking examples with lower mileage that aren't asking unrealistic money.

Cheers,
Ian.
