Sorry to hear you are selling man.

I have one of my SVXs for sale, and the '93 one in development. When I parked the SVX, I got a twin turbo Legacy estate for an everyday car. It does everything really well, is faster than the SVX, can carry everything, no, make that EVERYTHING!, so is a sensible change from a big heavy guzzling coupe.

Except that it gets it very hard to beat 20 mpg, and our fuel prices here are climbing also. Strangely enough, all Subaru WRX people I have met and discussed it with, they seem to take this as normal.

Not sure on exchange rates, but I suspect your $1.20 is way cheaper than here, and your $1.60 is about what we are paying at present.

I hope you get a good price for the SVX. I may take mine off the market. A time of high fuel price hysteria is not the right time to be selling an SVX, which is a "high maintenance" car in the normal sense of the term.

Best of luck with the sale. If economy is your goal, and you still want speed, I can recommend a VW Passat Tdi. My brother had one of these. It could really haul ass, and still gave 40 mpg. Hard to beat that in the real world.
