Known defects or problems: 1. Cigarette lighter socket currently not functional – suspect bad lighter. I have new replacement lighter socket. 2. Cruise switch can be sticky. Cruise is operational. 3. There is a slight whine associated with the power steering pump. There are no operational issues with it and the fluid looks good, but I suspect that it may require attention in the future.

Comments about the car: I bought this car in 5/96. It has been lavished with attention since then and has wanted for nothing. Garaged since I have owned the car and to my knowledge garaged since new.
The interior is in new condition. The wear that is noticeable at all is on the driver's seat, and it is no more than well broken in - no rips or tears. Carpeting is like new, always protected. Rear seat has rarely been used. The original radio/cassette was replaced with a 6-disk unit from an Outback. There is no rust anywhere - the car was not driven in winters and may have been exposed to salt 4-5 times since I have owned it and always well-flushed each time. All fluids have been changed regularly. The oil has been changed more often than necessary and I have used Mobil 1 5W30 only. Likewise the front/rear diffs have Mobil 1 75W90. Paint condition is very good to excellent. At the time I bought it, there was some damage to the front fender and it was replaced and the hood wand upper half of the passenger door repainted. The paint matches as perfectly as is possible.
Of course there are a few small nicks and chips here and there as with any car that is driven on the road but overall the look is like new.
"Old Tom" installed the transmission after the original started having issues in March 2007. It had just over 60,000 on the odometer then. He also did the "$15.00/15-minute mod" and installed a modified dropping resistor (firmer shifts).
Having owned this car for 14 years, it has been a hard decision to sell - but it is time. I will be retiring and moving to Texas soon and cannot justify keeping it. Time for someone else to enjoy it.
I would say that this is probably one of the best 1992 SVXs you will find anywhere. I know I have done as much as I could to keep it in new condition.

Asking price: $4,600.00

Photos: All taken 9/25/10. If there is anything you want a better view of let me know and I will try to get you a picture ASAP.

Very nice condition, the engine compartment looks new. Good luck with the sale.

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

Thanks - it's hard to know where to start in determining an asking price. KBB, Edmunds and NADA all have such a wide range of values that it's laughable. There are no local SVX sales recently to act as a "comp". Whatever I get would not be what it's worth in any case. Soo...we'll see what the market dictates. :rolleyes: I'm open to any offers.

Hope this car stays within the "walls" of this forum... :drool:

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

gorgeous! If I had an extra 4600 I'd totally buy it! This is a pristine car!

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

What a beautiful car. I suspect your price is too low!

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

Maybe, but it has to sell first. :)

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

I agree it's too low but a higher price will take even longer time to sell, maybe.

Nice car, good price, I hope you can get as much possible out of it.
If I don't have one, I'll definitely buy this one without a doubt.

I think I have seen this SVX in Reading III long time ago. Hahaha. Did you have the level 10 tranny installed? (Or maybe someone else?) Back to then, your mileage was like 44,xxx? I recognized the back side of your car. :) I have talked to you before but maybe you forgot about me....

This car looks as good as before or better with the new wheels. Good luck to your sale and hope it will go to a good home!

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

Oh I agree 100%, the price is way too low!:lol: But as Earl mentioned - it has to sell first.
No Level 10 tranny, it has a '98 Outback 4.44 tranny installed by Old Tom.
I hope it goes to a good home. That's why I'm putting it here first. There is actually a fellow I work with here in Charleston that is interested but no way - he bought a Legacy wagon off of me a few years ago and I got to be a witness to him trashing it. :mad:

The term is dark teal... I suppose yours is "red"? :lol::rolleyes:

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

...sold yet?

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

I wasn't checking the paperwork close enough, and now the DMV lists mine as Purple on my title. What a bagger.

Re: 1992 SVX LS-L for sale 66,500 miles
 

It will.

As of last Sunday, Don Addington "svxphile" (in West Virginia) is the new owner of this magnificent car.


Don is one of the original "Snowshoe" gang. Other members were Jerry (svxxx26), Harry (newsvx) Randy "aredubjay" and myself.
