1995 Green L AWD with only 65K miles in NY

[radsvx]

Hi all!

It seems like my long absence from this site caused my account to be disactived, so I had to re-join again to be able to post my beauty for sale.

Unfortunately, the need for practicality has outweighed my ability to remain a proud owner of such a unique automobile.

State SVX is in: NY (but was mostly driven in VA by me and previously in OH.)

Year: 1995

Model: L AWD

VIN: JF1CX3357SH100494

Paint Color: Emerald Pearl (dark green)

Interior Color: Grey

Miles: 67,500

Location: Long Island City, Queens, NY (11109)

Modifications:
* PWR aluminum radiator (installed by TomsSVX at around 43,000 miles)
* silicone radiator hoses
* Stebro muffler
* K&N air filter
* cryogenically sealed slotted brake rotors with cermic pads
* tinted windows
* Kenwood CD/MP3/tape stereo

Major service:
* Rear bearings replaced at 65,000 miles by a Subaru dealer
* Timing belt and water pump replaced at 65,300 miles by TomsSVX
* Front stabilizer links replaced at 65,550 miles

Engine Condition: Excellent, purrs like a kitten

Maintenance Records: Available

Transmission condition: Strong, shifts smooth and crisp.

Glass condition: Original blue tint glass cracked this past January, so I replaced it with a used bronze tint windshield taken from an LSi, which has typical signs of use.

Wheels/Tires: Stock rims with Toyo tires with 12,000 miles on them.

Interior condition: Excellent!

Body condition: No faded paint anywhere. It was garage-kept for most of its life. However, there are some typical paint chips and scratches.

Known defects or problems: None.

Asking price: $5500 (Decreased from $6500)

Thanks for looking!

Regards,
Rad

Might be interested but what kind of price range are you looking at here. Might help sell the car also.

yeah how much are you asking?

Thanks for the interest. It's very diffucult to price this type of car. As we all know, it really depends on how much someone is willing to pay for a car that is as rare as ours and in decent condition. I have loved the SVX since it first appeared in 1992, but couldn't afford it then. And when I was finally able to get one, I searched high and low for a well-kept used one. And this is now my 2nd SVX already. For the first one, I flew out to Kansas City and drove it back to the east coast. And then this second one I found in Cincinnati with only 32K miles on it. I would love to find a new owner that is as passionate about the SVX as I am.

So, that being said, I was thinking of a price target around $6500. If you guys tell me that's absurd, I am willing to negotiate. However, I am still even considering just holding on to it, but it really kills me to think the abuse it will get by not being in a garage here in NYC.

Also, what value would you put on the car if I actually did perform all the preventive maintenance now to ensure that the new owner will not have any severe problems? For example: replacing the timing belt, water pump, camshaft seals, oil pump seals, valve cover gasket, head gasket, etc.

You can also ping LarryIII, since he has met me and saw my car at a Subaru show he and I attended in 2005. (See his thread "General SVX Babble/White Album, post #22: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...ler#post340805)

Best regards,

I would say that that is a fair price, especially if you did the maintenance on it.
