New member/ new owner
 

Hi folks: Just wanted to check in here. I will be the proud owner of a 94 SVX by this time next week if everything goes well. Green with about 160,000 K on her. I also have a 96 Legacy wagon and a 2001 GT limited. All green. I know, I know it just worked out that way.
Can't wait to get the new Subbie. I've got some cleaning ahead of me because the previous owner is a smoker but it's not too bad....
Any smoke removal suggestions appreciated...
Thanks
Vic

Welcome Vic. You'll find a great wealth of information here for most any questions that may come up.
I wish you great luck with your new Pup.:)

Welcome to the site. :)

Welcome. I found that the pet oder remover spray does wonders at removing the smell of smoke, without leaving an after-smell.

Thanks
 

Thanks.
A little elbow grease, leather cleaner and this baby is going to be as good as new. It seemed to be in excellent condition. I'll be counting on this site to get me up to speed on these cars... I've noticed a nice sticker that you can buy and put on the side of the vehicle on the glass or something. Are these recommended or do they just fade etc in time and look bad... From what I've seen on a few photos of cars, they do add to the look....
I've been reading about this gathering in Reading, looks interesting...

Are you in Lancaster, PA?? Did you get it at that dealer at the corner of Fruitville & Manheim??

Lancaster is home of the famous SVX Racer :)

I was a smoker when I left for Iraq, now I'm not. I think if you just clean up the interior with febreeze and shampoo the carpets it'll go away.

Ancaster not Lancaster
 

No I'm from Ancaster, Ont. Canada about an hour outside of Toronto. But it's only maybe 8 hours from Reading PA I think....

When I got my car, it was pretty smokey. A bit of elbow greese worked pretty good...but Id like to take the headliner and carpets out to steam clean them, among other things. Then again, I can get a bit obsessive

I know about the same color cars syndrom...I had a barcelona red sxv, now hae a brilliant red svx, and have a black svx that I am likely going to respray the swiss ruby mica (the one red I actually like! Though the others hae grown on me)

Best of luck with the car
