Re: what do you think of this.

If you want it as close to reliable as possible, expect to replace all the pulleys, belts, hoses, power steering, alternator, battery (if it isn't new), timing belt, idlers, water pump (oem only), thermostat, o2 sensors and if you have the money new coil packs backed with new plugs.

You'll have a very solid SVX after this (and roughly just spent $2k) outside of the transmission... that's a whole other area to only worry about when and if issues arise.

The SVX is like an elite but expensive luxury auto owners club. You pay a low initiation fee to get in but the annual membership fees vary from person to person and can get kind of expensive quickly at the most unexpected times.
