Re: Sleeve Lock Regulator Replacement with PHOTOS

Hi Noriyasu,

Those are the eBay ones I was complaining about. At some point in the past their ad said they made them out of ABS, although it no longer says what material they are using. Worse...

Re: Craigslist and other finds

The Italian SVX went for 6500euros, which seems reasonable. I am sure the buyer will be happy.

Re: Craigslist and other finds

I see the price dropped for the "SVX Ferrari" to $4K.
Could be a nice car with only 87K on it, but it has some large dents in the rear.

Re: Craigslist and other finds

The 46K miles BaT SVX sold for $7,100.

Not a bad price either way. I'm sure the new owner will be happy with it, and it wasn't a complete steal for the seller.
