FS (MO) 1996 SVX LSi
 

Year: 1996

Model: LSi

VIN: JF1CX8656TH100108

Manufacture date: 10/95

Paint Color: Brilliant Red

Interior Color: Tan leather

Miles: 149,000

Location: St. Charles, MO

Options:

AWD or FWD: AWD

Modifications: Kenwood DNX5120 head unit, nav, XM radio, iPod, Bluetooth. Infinity speakers all around. 4.44 transmission with ~70K miles on it at this point (49K in this car). Hard wire kit for Valentine One is installed, but radar detector not part of sale. The 4.44 has a rear open differential from the donor Forester, but I have a stock SVX limited slip differential which will be included in the sale. Needs a new ring and pinion to make it 4.44 or swap from the currently installed one.

Major service:

Engine Condition: Good, starts and runs beautifully.

Maintenance Records: Yes, from previous owner as well as myself

Transmission condition: Good. Slight occasional leak of transmission fluid... rear seals seem to be the culprit but I have replaced them and still occasionally get a small amount of fluid on the exhaust. Never lost more than a small amount at any one time.

Glass condition: Excellent. No chips or cracks.

Type of tire and remaining tread: Tires new 06/2011.

Type of wheels: Stock, good condition. A bit of fade on the plastic caps.

Interior condition: Excellent, only one small (half inch) tear in the drivers seat down by the plastic trim. Easily repaired.

Body condition: Very good. Some paint fade on the roof and some chips that have been repaired with filler and painted. Car could use a full repaint in the next few years, but there's no rust I can find, and a very small number of door dings. The usual peppering of chips in the hood, but again none down to the metal that I can locate.

Known defects or problems: Possibly a bad front wheel bearing (drivers side). I have got all the parts to replace but haven't had the time. Some hot spots on the front brake rotors, but brakes work very well.

Comments about the car: This is the best SVX I've ever owned, and I love it. However, I don't really have room in my life for another car at this time, and particularly one I need to work on (hence why I have all the parts to fix the wheel bearings and haven't done it yet). I bought the car thinking I'd have more time to work on it, but life has a way of proving one incorrect :)

Asking price: $4000 OBO.

Good luck with the sale!!! i read most of your posts and understand why you need to do whatever you need to do.
Nice ride!:)

Bump... going on Craigslist. Decided it's time.

Re: FS (MO) 1996 SVX LSi
 

did you pull the trigger on the 1 already?

Re: FS (MO) 1996 SVX LSi
 

I did. The order is placed and I pick up my car in Munich on October 7th :) Simple fact is though the SVX is surplus to requirements. My girlfriend still has her Jag, and with the weather cooling down I am going to start riding my motorbike more. Besides, we both work in the same building now so we can carpool :)

I love this car and will drive it until someone buys it... speaking of which I'm going to lower the price to $4000... seems a bit more fair.

Bump because I got back from Germany and am now just waiting for my new car to arrive stateside.

No interest and it'll be up on Ebay by the end of the week. Motivated a bit more to sell now because I need the garage space :)

Nice svx, best of luck with sale.

Re: FS (MO) 1996 SVX LSi
 

Bump 'cos I listed it again on Craigslist;

Plus my new car is due in next week. A bit more motivated now to clear out garage space. Make me an offer :)

Re: FS (MO) 1996 SVX LSi
 

Sold, today. Gotta say, I have mixed feelings about it... but I'll be getting my new BMW 135i next Wednesday and just didn't have garage space for the SVX.

I'll still hang around... time to change my sig... again...
