They are fairly easy to maintain, if they are kept up, but if it's been abused, and neglected, it becomes a lot of trouble to get everything back up to par...
Parts are getting harder to come by, and prices have been really low for years now, you see a low miles mint one up for sale once in a while, usually around $3000 or less, decent runners can be bought for 500-1000
Expensive and hard to find parts include Fenders, Radiators (XT6 is Subaru only) dash surround.....rust is really an issue at this age, as they weren't rust proofed nearly as well s the SVX was.
