Good news and BAD news
The transmission will never make it to 150,000 miles ( 92 was the worse tranny) Really surprised it still works at 125,000
More bad news did he have the timing belt changed in the past 5years or 50,000 miles .( if not it needs changing and so does the water pump.) Better learn how . $500+ at the dealer .
Good news it you can drive your own SVX for a month or two.
Let it snow is a better deal

Be prepared to replace the trans. Replacing one yourself isn't so hard, just make sure you gather enough cash and keep it on hand just in case.

Let's not forget that Letitsnow's 92 has a slipping clutch and rust. So as good as a bargain as it is, it is not a perfect car either and would require some immediate work.

Personally I'd buy a 92 with 125K, but I would also figure on replacing the transmission sometime down the road, (probably within 3 years) and definitely with a 4.44.

I'd be willing to bet my life that it's not the original.

According to a recent poll taken on this site 100,00 seems to be a good drop off point on the 92 . No pun intended ....True once a clutch slips it is toast , they don't heal . slipping clutch aint hard to change . And he said something way back about body work no problem ( I think something like that ) . We have not seen the body work on the black one or the interior . how is your timing belt LETIT SNOW

IIRC, it looked good when I installed the engine, so I didn't change it. There's not much wear on it from when I got it... The engine finished fall, slept for the winter, and got me around just until I got the Silver.

what are some precautions i can take with the SVX ?

green1995SVX said

Synthetic trans fluid
Trans cooler
disconnect Shift thing (cant remember exactly)

and i though of replacing the trans filter.

anything else i could do ?

Conn SVX · #59 07-01-2011, 06:22 AM

From what I understand the 92 has no filter. Adding a cooler and external filter would be a good idea. Here you go spending more on it then you did to buy it .

i only paid $500 for my XT6 and have well over $3,000 in repairs maintenance ect...

we'll always have more money into a car than what we paid for it. no matter what.
