Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!!!
Pay careful attention to the older and wiser owners. It ain't no sports car. It's a GT...as in Grand Touring. It is also a rare premium Japanese car at least 14 yrs old. So if you bought one today that was brand new, you'd probably have rubber stuff to replace. Brand new OEM struts have been known to leak shortly after installation because the seals have deteriorated while on the shelf for 14 yrs!
I quote some sage advice:
"Also, it sounds like you may not have a bunch of extra $$$$ sitting around. Be aware that it is not unusual for an SVX owner to put the entire market value of the SVX into their car in maintentance and repairs within 1-2 years."
That would be me, among others,

There are guys like Tom who are gifted mechanics that really enjoy modifying and improving their SVXs. If you're not a skilled mechanic with tools and a place to work on your SVX with a spare ride to use while your SVX is down, keep it stock and appreciate it for what it is...an all weather, high speed, Grand Touring car.
