Re: Potential SVX owner

Reliability is a hard question to answer as it really pertains to previous owner and how it was taken care of. If it wasnt beaten to hell then it should last a while without to many problems, but keep in mind your dealing with an almost 20 year old car design here (2011 will mark the 20th birthday for many 92 models). There are quite a few svx with well over 200,000 miles and even some with 300,000 on the road. Simple maintenance and not beating the living hell out of it will probably have it last for awhile. Just if something is wrong get it fixed sooner rather then later. I'm sure once you drive on you will be set on having one.

As far as working on them it really depends on what is wrong . Somethings are simply to swap out and honestly timing and things of that nature were not too hard to get to. This site has many write ups and quite a few specialist that really enjoyed being bothered with simply questions *cough* OT *cough*.
