Welcome Luke!

[Just guessing ]

Hope you find a car real soon.

Small word of advice. James is knowledgeable, so stay close to him on any decisions. Be careful about buying the first car you find. Do not "fall in love" with it until you have had it thoroughly checked out mechanically, particularly the gearbox.

The SVX is basically very strong and very well built. However it is a complex car, so if the previous owner/s were uncaring, unloving or lax with the servicing, it can build up to some expensive problems. James will advise you the same, buy the best you can get. Preferably one owner, full service history, low miles if possible.

With the flat six mill, these cars have been described as Subaru's Porsche. Well, nobody in their right mind would buy a Porsche without full and correct service history, or a Ferrari either. Same applies here in principle because of the complexity, although in fairness to the car it does not need the huge service bills a Ferrari would build up.

Great to see another respondent, and don't be afraid to ask advice, this is a big forum, someone, somewhere here will know the answer.

Joe
