Well if you're not going to be clear about what you're wanting to say, what can we do except guess? There appeared to be some questions about the year of the car in the thread you linked, but are you trying to imply that it was wrecked just because of the grill and some gaps? I'm the first owner of my 92 and you wouldn't believe the size of the gap between the rear bumper and the body. Personally, if I had a newer model SVX and a spare 92 grille, I'd put it on. People can have different tastes.

I guess it is possible to have had a parted out car with the same VINS and swap them onto this other mystery car :confused:

The tell tale sign I would think would be the frame and the engine numbers.

By the way, what is the mock light or whatever that you've been talking about? I get that the current grill isn't for the 97' year. I'm assuming this was done before the kid bought it.

I think the best news would be to find out if it is possible that the vehicle had been altered and have the dealer who she bought it from buy the car back. If that could be done a case of your favorite brew to all that have helped break the case of the "Slippery SVX."

Thanks again for all the attention - I really do appreciate it!!

Tim.

Kuoh see what you started. Tim I never said anything about vin# being swaped it never even entered my mind. Don't let it enter yours. The only think I was trying to point out was this car is indeed a 97 #193 I had made a thread about it on 5-04 I never did put the vin# in the thread because at the time there was an active link on autotrader. Shelfy made a post that this particulair svx was produce 8 cars after his. He has a polo green 97 too #185 if you do the math take his#185+8 svx's later=193 the svx you are trying to sell. The 97 svx had a painted grill that matched the body color. 92-96 had a clear plastic grill mock light/water fall. The only concern I have is maybe prior front end damage, beside the check engine light and other cosmetic problems.

kuoh 02-04-2005 08:25 PM

Tweren't me who started this, as the second post in your link immediately questioned the validity of the VIN by challenging the model year. We know about the 92 grille, but as someone else in that thread also mentioned, "The grill is certainly a red flag for collision repair but could just as easily be a cosmetic upgrade from a previous owner who preferred that style. As far as the gaps in the body panels, how the heck can anyone judge anything from those pictures??"

Anyway, I'm NOT the one selling the car, but I'm not about to spread unsubstiantiated claims about it either unless there is real evidence. Give the guy a fair shot.

All im saying is it's the same car. I never said it was in a wreck just to be informed it might have been. I never even questioned the year it was made or the vin. I suggest you buy some glasses and use them.

Dude, THE second post in your link: "BTW: I am pretty sure it is a 94 or 95. Mock light, Emerald Green paint. Not things on the '97" Then there are some discussions about the VIN and color availability. Like I said, if you're not going to be clear.

Great now you've made that clear, but still the claims are unsubstianted as was previously mentioned, "I think its hard to tell that given the quality of the pics. Things like gaps you really have to check out in person." Like I said, give the guy a chance. Oh, and you should probably take your own advice about the glasses as well.

Don't rag me for what someone else said about the year/color. Also if you kept reading 5th post down in the link I posted green1995svx confirmed it was a 97

So are agreeing now that it's the same car in the link I posted or are you still in denial about that?

kuoh 02-04-2005 09:16 PM

No, I'm not ragging you about what some one else said. I'm ragging you about not being clear in what you were trying to say and the fact that you're making serious claims about the car's condition without any real firsthand evidence. And yes, I realized later what you were implying about the VIN being 8 off, but it still has no bearing on your assumption of damage now or then.

About all we can really say is that she overpaid when she bought it 4 months ago and that it might have been driven hard either during or before the current ownership, as well as likely having engine and tranny issues of some sort. But I would stop well short of suggesting that it was involved in any sort of serious accident simply based on the 92 grille and a few pictures of questionable quality seemingly showing a body gap irregularity.

I didn't purchase the vehicle...but if it matters I can ask. Why? The sales guy really put it to the boy that bought it. He traded in a Mitsu Galant in GREAT shape just so he could get some $$ back in the deal. OUCH!! Leave it to say the kid has issues. His mom just wants to get back what she can from the bad purchase.

Hopefully some SVX collector will take the car for parts or project. As I said - the car RUNS GREAT!!

Tim.

Green?
 
If not green, I might be interested. Actually think I would much rather take my chances on this one that those that members talk about on here shooting nitro through the engine and putting miles on 1/4 at a time and running the Dragons breath or whatever it is. Can you imagine the real condition of many of the parts of those cars??

Are there more pics of this car? How can anyone see the real condition of the steering wheel?

Go to first post and there is a link there or look in my locker. I'll make the price right to make up for the green...:D

BTW - Alltrac/Kuoh not sure what to say...if this car does sell through this board I would be suprised. Alltrac I think you called the car a POS in your 1st post...thanks - NOT!! Kuoh, you feed his fire. Enjoy guys.....Out.

After seeing some of the handywork already done on the car
It sorta worried me to buy it. Although it is in my part of the
country.
I may call you Sun or Monday about it.
Does it have any aftermarket alarm or aftermarket electronic
gadgets installed on it or wired in ?
thanks
me
