Would this SVX be a good buy?
I'm looking into buying a my first SVX again (I love these cars). I've found one locally for $2,250 neg. Its a '92. Its black on black leather which, supposedly, is mint, but I'll take that with a grain of salt until I can see it on Monday. Exterior is also supposed to be in really good shape. Here's the basic specs:
165,000 miles New Dunlop SP 5000 Z rated tires on polished 3rd Gen Supra wheels New slotted, drilled rotors all around New wheel bearings New Constant Velocity Axles Grill from a '97 SVX Updated trans cooler and shift kit New Calsonic radiator New Xenon Headlamps and Yellow Foglights Upgraded stereo, the extent of which I do not know Lowered (don't know how much, but from the pics, doesn't look like its going to bottom out) Needs front struts replaced. Opinions appreciated Thanks |

If I'm seeing that correctly that he's a bad ebay guy, its not an ebay car, and the seller lives a lot further north than Vineland.

Looks great in the distant photos, and a repaint for sure. Chrome wheels too, you may want to put a set of stockers on in the winter, cause all that road salt and sand will destroy those chromies for sure. Try to take some up close photos of the exterior and interior, looks like a nice one for the price. Best of Luck!;)

I just saw it, got the guy down to $2000, and put on a $500 down payment. I'm picking it up tomorrow. Body's in really good shape, with some scuffs, scratches, and minor dents. Interior is grey leather/velour, and is MINT as was originally said. AC blows warm and the trans shifter has a problem with the shift lock button, but otherwise, wow!
Stereo is a JVC with Polk 6.5s in the doors and factory 6x9s in the deck. I'm very happy :) |
Re: Would this SVX be a good buy?
Does the AC blow hot air, or does it simply not blow cold anymore? I had the problem of the AC blowing hot air, and when I did the how-to to pull the codes, it reset and fixed itself. Might be worth a try (unless it's simply not blowing cold and it needs a recharge, or something).
Do you have any pics of the yellow fogs? I've been wanting to do this, but I would like to see what it would look like first. Welcome to the wonderful world of SVX! Prepare to be broke from doing mods/repairs/refurbishing! (But it's all about the love, baby.) |

Ok, now my happiness is mixed with fear.
We checked the CarFax... 1. It did belong to a dealer in Vineland, NJ before: 2. The current owner bought it a month ago. |
Re: Would this SVX be a good buy?
two things
1. see if you can't get TOMSSVX to check the car out before you complete the deal (his shop isn't too far from Atlantic City) 2. the rims are 3rd gen RX-7 rims, not Supra -Bill |

Re: Would this SVX be a good buy?
I'm not going to be able to get the deposit back, and I still owe $1500. What should I do? Either pay up, and put in another $1500 for a trans rebuild, or forget the $500 and run?

Re: Would this SVX be a good buy?
I just found out that the car also comes with an additional running engine with 68k miles. How much could I get for the engine, to help pay for a trans rebuild?
