This is going down in history as the engine sold the most times without ever changing hands.

What a waste of silver spray paint.

It should be going down in price because of all the mileage on it by now.

Budfreak · #**273** 09-09-2006, 10:16 PM

I'm telling you guys, It's starting to make me sick to my stomach not being able to shut this guy down completely. I'm so sick and tired of chasing Vlad around and dealing with him and he still never gets what he deserves. I'll never stop till he is gone though just because I hate his guts and sometimes get a good chuckle out of making him look like a retard.

Well, you've certainly pulled off making him look like a retard,

and we thank you for that.

I thought it wasn't bad...then I saw under the hood.

This is a good reminder to not paint my rims black.

Why is this in the buyer beware thread?

Earthworm · #**279** 09-22-2006, 11:11 AM

edknot seems to have some association with vlad/olecks/etc

RSVX · #**280** 09-22-2006, 01:24 PM

I was wondering if anybody could identify the person in the reflection on one picture of this car? Is it Oleks? I know some members have met this guy. I can't believe that silver painted tranny ended up being good

The guy who bought it from edknot gave good feedback.

Im sorry, but I have to say something.

This SVX I obtained with Mike when we were still together for our business, and I lost my input when I parted ways with Mike. This car is far from a trophy winner. While existing issues may have been fixed, it was sitting behind a dealer in a muddy lot for at least a year before we picked it up for $800.

Mike is working with the dealer RH Watkins Motors, selling under the owner's ebay name. I have more information and pictures if desired, of bodywork hacks, etc, regarding this operation.

Auction now:

I know for a fact that this car has been Maacoed, and a Legacy fwd trans was swapped in, as the planning for such was commencing when I had to make my exit from Meadville.

Pictures of the car before (taken from Mike Davis' host, ironically. I can re-host if necessary):

Please Please be cautious with this seller. I will probably get majorly flamed for this post, but I feel that its important to fully disclose this car's history when they are claiming it as: "..an absolutely immaculate SVX, THIS IS THE ONE. This has got to be one of the nicest SVX's left in existence..."

Existing issues may have been corrected with this car, but be watchful for corners cut, etc. This car had dents all around, so expect some significant bodywork. This car also had various other problems and quirks with the exhaust, oil leaks, and incorrect wheels (it has darker 92 style wheels on it, which were probably spray painted, as they had done in the past when I used to work with Mike Davis.

Please watch this seller and drive/inspect before you buy! Buyer Beware!

(There are others on this forum who can attest to these facts, and who have seen paperwork documenting Mike Davis as a salesperson of this said dealer)

Just seeing his feedback is enough for me.

Maybe him and Oleks should start an ebay business together, they seem like one in the same anyway.

Lol, walking into the shop where they used to prep their cheap cars at Watkins Motors, I noticed the tech(if you could call him that...) stuffing newspaper into the rusted out holes around the rear quarter of an old legacy. He proceeded to mix up bondo. When I asked him "Hey ..what are you doing?" He smiled up at me and said, "Its the Meadville Tribune Method"

That was the last time I had respect for that guy who owns that place...

If you live near Meadville, youll see old Subarus running around with gray paint below the beltline.. Those are RH Watkins cars, and there are many of them.
