"...he countered at $9000 and I took it..."

Stole it.

These cars are so undervalued, IMO, that Blue Book rules don't always apply. There are very few cars you could have spent that money on and gotten so much for your $. I guess most of us feel that way and that's why I paid too much for mine when I bought it. Mine was close to home so I was willing to pay up to $1000 extra. You'd have had to be very patient to find such a deal elsewhere and, then, you may have had to travel and it's just too hard to trust what you can't see and touch.

You might already know that there are lots of SVX owners with a bunch more money than $9k into their rides, so most would say you got a fine deal.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Someone's done a fine job of detailing. I like your idea for the stereo system so you can keep that stock look.

Again, congratulations and welcome to the SVX club.
