I bought mine from a Suby dealership about 300 miles away and had it delivered by one of their drivers in a covered hauler, having seen only photos. Found it on AutoTrader. (I'd never seen ANY SVX from within 100 yards.) The car had obvious troubles before I even backed it out of my driveway, but to the dealer's credit, he shipped me the parts I requested and we called it even. Turned out I got a solid SVX with a documented service history and no signs of abuse, and I do love the thing, so my only complaint remains that the car needed work an on-line seller should have disclosed up-front. Title and tag transfer wasn't an issue, as we're in the same state and they handled the paperwork.
Not an excercise I recommend; it's simply too easy to get screwed. I was lazy, and foolishly trusting, and I lucked-out.
