Don't spend many thousands on an SVX unless you can see yourself driving it for a good long while, because you'll not make the money back when you sell.

I look at it the same way every time I get the Trans rebuilt. Sure I spend about $2500 at a time, but could I have bought another car for that price? As long as I get what I put into it (usage wise), it's worth it for me. I might think twice if it were 10K
