'92 Teal is for sale here first

[Rodolfo]

Can someone please edit my age on my profile? It says to contact an administrator to do this, but I don't see an obvious link or anyone here with the proper tag. I haven't been 35 for many years, but I had never looked at my profile to see the error until last week. It appears that I transposed the last 2 characters of my birthdate and wrote 74 instead of 47 when I registered a few years ago. I enjoy driving and other thrills as always, but I'm actually a less-young 62 year-old retiree! Thank you.

I've edited the mileage on my post following still another stimulating Chicago run for the MeanGreenMachine. Up to 160,700+ now.

Friendly reminder, AKA, bump!

Almost traded my steady in on a like-new Crossfire coupe last Friday --lost out to a guy who had put in his paperwork just ahead of my test drive. But I've got the bug now and it's starting to feel like this baby is going to wind up in a dealer's inventory. Could be as early as this weekend on my next Chicago run.. Tsk, tsk

(bump)

I took the intrepid Dark Teal on a consulting trip to Indy last week and have edited the mileage to 162K, which it is approaching. I've also lowered the asking price 10% to $2700 OBO! Have a great one.

Short-term, feel-good offer:

A 1983 Yamaha Virago 500 motorcycle with only 9321 miles will be sold for $100.00 with the agreed-upon purchase of my Dark Teal SVX. The bike is black and, to the best of my knowledge, is in excellent condition except for very slow leaks or seepage from the V-Twin engine and one of the forks. If interested, please see the following reviews for specs, etc. WYSIWYG.

The bike has only been operated summers at a friend's upper-Michigan getaway for the past 8 years. Of course, it has never been ridden much. I purchased it in the early 90s and it has always been garaged. Two years ago I kept a promise to stop riding on the interstate when i turned 60, and this year I'm keeping a promise to stop riding entirely when I retired. I have a clean and clear Michigan title: VIN is JYA22U003DA002136. It is not currently registered/plated and I have just cancelled the insurance on it this month. While it could be ridden away, I would expect the buyer to bring a trailer or truck to haul it away. NB: the motorcycle will not be sold or released to anyone under 18 unless accompanied by a parent.

BTW, Michigan law requires riders to wear a helmet. My nephew has first claim on a like-new black Shoei full-face helmet; but, if he doesn't want it and a 7-5/8" size fits you well, the Shoei would be included in the $100 purchase price.

PS. The bike is available separately for $900 OBO for anyone that comes to see the car or the bike. The same conditions apply.

Living for the weekend... another 10% drop on the asking price, on top of the above motorcycle deal!

[Rodolfo]

The Wolverines can no longer beat the Spartans in football either, and I have to acccept that this SWN thread has not worked...

Thanks anyway...

SVXs are like Wheel of Fortune in the old days. Once you buy an SVX, it's yours to keep.

[Rodolfo]

Yes, this unclear reference is new; but your SVX cynicism is old.

And... yours to keep for at least another 8K posts

I've kept mine happily for >12 years, but I'm pumped for a change and have decided I definitely won't be keeping this one. I'll likely get another only-one-in-the-neighborhood delight, but it won't be this one.

[Rodolfo]

Bump with new price: $1992, OBO.

[Rodolfo]

After >12 years, my '92 is mine no longer: Traded her in last week.

Best to all SVXers!
