Good Morning Glenn-

The quick photos of the SVX in Northampton are posted at http://s526.photobucket.com/albums/cc342/kcbsvx/ . The car was locked with no one at the dealership.

There seems to be only the one rust spot on the RF wheel arch with my car key for scale. It is probably a chip through the primer that was not touched up and sealed. New England SVXi have a habit of forminig two rust spots on each door at the seam/groove where the plastic panel meets the metal. It may be points where holes were drilled for the mounting clips. This car did not show those spots. I will look again Monday in better lighting.

Scuffs down to the plastic on the rear bumper corners, twin 3"x1/2" dings at RR corner below lite (paint not cracked), strange diagonal linear dents on hood, 1/2 dozen small misc door dings along RT side and a few on LT. The usual wear on drivers left seat bolster and some on the seat bottom. Both front armrests need further cleaning. Glass is nice except the very minor guide pad marks as I described that refused to be photoed in yesterday's light.

Now I have reiterated the downside but rest is minor and all as I described to you on the phone yesterday as I walked around the car. The car presents a decent image overall.

The bordeaux with the dirty lower extremeties from the recent storms is mine. I am sad to hear of the terminal damage to your pampered baby, but joyed that you could walk away (at least until the EMTs straped you down).

I will call you Monday afternoon when I can get away to Northampton for a test drive and the lift inspection.

Call me with any questions,
Christian
