The SVX is awesome and pretty reliable. it has never left me stranded thats for sure. Main thing you should be concerned about is the transmission problems which can be solved by getting a tranny cooler. I just installed a cooler in my car this past week and it has taken a load off my mind. If you find one and get to test drive it see how the car shifts and listen for that loud howling from the back. If you hear a loud howling that would indicate bad bearings. I'm a 19 yr old college student and i can afford one so im sure you can too . Its an awesome car and a head turner. I love it!!
