I just got up this morning and bought an SVX

[jetboy]

Yes!

After 6 months of searching, pondering, investing, calculating... 1 of the 7 SVXes originally sold in Norway was offered for sale today. After checking out the service book, receites from 2004 and onwards I called all the shops that did services and work on the car and they all vouched for for it. Authorized sube shop had a full written report.Apparently they enjoyed the "quality assurance" drives and the mech who did the work in december wanted to buy it himself etc etc (I bought if from a private person, not the otherwise reputable Subie shop).

It was in shop two days ago to have its cruise control fixed (leaky vacuum hose). A lot of work has been done over the years with the transmission's center diff, cluch, valves, oil etc repaired in december and rotor swaps, bearings blablabla.. It was a well kept car with only a few things that I will fix asap just to keep it in top shape.

It's a genuine VTD and the back rotors have been changed rather than the front ones I think it's got a lock option.

MY96, Bordeaux Pearl, no spoiler.
133K km (not miles)
169Kw, not 162 like the other european ones.
Interior is in really good condition with very little wear on the seats
VIN: JF1CXWLE0TG008117

Will post pics when I retrieve it.

Will order JDM spoiler an aluminum dash kit!

First thing up is getting a major overhaul including timing belt (due for swap in July), all the stuff behind it, possible leaks and maybe even the head gasket if I get a good price. Exhaust will be changed.

Second thing up is getting the alus refurbished as they have rash. And then buy new Potenzas.

Third thing is getting a full respray but that can be veeery expensive, maybe for next year.
