Re: The SVX and you

This is a great thread -- especially for a newish owner like me.

I've been wanting one for many years but the right car and circumstances only came together for me in June when I got my '97 which is fairly low mileage and in very nice shape.

It's needed some significant work -- including an engine rebuild -- but is getting sorted out and will be a keeper. There are still a few issues like a sticking rear brake caliper and a rattle on acceleration (mechanic says its a loose heat shield but I'm not convinced). Winter is coming and I'll get snow tires mounted on the OEM wheels.

And I've picked up the '92 as a parts donor. She's got a great body and glass.
