If you get a good one, it might be trouble free, but if you get a bad one, it will be a nightmare. This car can not be abused, so if you want to go around corners on two wheels, race every car at every light, this probably is not the car for you. It has lots of power, and is fun to drive, but you can get into trouble with it too. You need to think about what you want to do with the car, and then have the car checked out by someone who knows the SVX. This may save you some headaches. Good luck, and welcome to this forum. You can learn a lot by reading the posts and doing a seach on subjects that you are interested in.
