Trying not to scare you or anything but my first SVX ran me more than 10,000 (no it is not a typo) dollars in repairs and I got the car for 4800. That included trannies, tires, pads, rotors, bearings. That figure did not include regular oil changes and another 100 I spent on spark plugs.

My second SVX was great. I sold it though. Why? Did not like the colour. NO unneccessary cost what so ever!!!

My thrid one is still there. Just killed a fuse and let loose a grimlin. Got to find it. This is my project SVX. I will get another one one of these days. This one ran me about 2000 in repair bills so far. Got it for 2500.


So make sure you get one that is well taken care of if you are getting one. If the car was beaten up you will have a money pit. I kid you not.
