Im new here, i dont currently own a SVX but i test drove a black 1995 and now i really want one, sadly that one, which was a pristine car, was sold(for only 3900 too!) anyways ive read alot about tranny failures on early cars, and i was wondering how bad it is? on average how long id the early 1992s last, and whats the best youve heard of without a rebuild?
ive seen a few transmissions from 94+ cars for reasonable prices, so if i can pick up a good car otherwise for real cheap maybe it would be worth getting a 92, but ideally i need teh car to run well for atleast another year or so(5k or so) ideally atleast 3 years though
Im looking at a local SVX thats got 106k and seems to be a pretty early 1992, im just wondering how possible it is that its tranny is still any good even if it hasnt been rebuilt? and if its okay right now will doing a fluid flush, adding a mild trans cooler, and shiftkit help maintain it for another 40k or so?
I currently have a summer car but id like something refined and comfortable, thats still livid to drive(tactility) and thats where the SVX comes in, also my current summer car needs to go under the knife soon, the frame isnt rusted at all yet but god is it creeping up on it
, this is particularly important because i like the car and im sentimental,(also its kinda rare, atleast for a japanese car) its not my first car but its the first car ive actually ever really cared about
anyways thanks!
Also once you buy the car does the color really matter?, the teals for instance look a bit goofy to me but as im not $$$$ would i eventually warm up to it most likely?
