From what I seen at the Dlr a lot of SVX's fall victim to trans failure
especially the early yrs. Over 3k is a lot for a veh that 5+ yrs old
and for most of the tuner crowd the car simply isn't fast enough.
older imprezza's are a lot more desireable because of the aftermkt parts that aer availible.

I know where 2 are now, one has very little wrong with it and the
guy wants 3k. The other one needs the dredded trans.
