Try $39-$42gs. Even the oldest used Vipers are not cheap.

Vipers are overrated

And I could have a helluva SVX for 30-40 grand

Ummmm, that focus would be fun to drive, but I'd have to get sell it when it came time for the first tune up. anybody notice all that extra room it had for doing any kind of maintenance on that engine?

Looks like just changing a belt requires dropping the engine out from under the car.

Where's the fuel tank??

[Boxer6SVX]

I would assume probably a fuel cell in the rear.

Well at least it's a Focus and not a Ford Probe.

I had a 94 Probe GT... God I loved that thing... Sounded pretty good as well. I would tell you a good story but id rather not have my thread locked... but i will say they are a match.

Porsche? Mmm my ex has a 97 Carrera... not impressed.

Viper vs WRX theres no comparison the Viper hands down is the winner

[Boxer6SVX]

Not all of us can afford a Viper... besides... I think half the people on this site would rather have the new STi and put the rest in the bank.

And once this SVX is back operational Im driving straight to the dealer and buying a 5mt WRX. I dont have the money to be fixing every little thing on this car lol

Give me a 928 or a 944/948 Over a Carrera anyday.

I wouldnt mind one of those Cayenne S porsches either

[Boxer6SVX]

yeah they are pretty cool. I rode in a 944 Turbo once... that was a fun ride

uh oh eaten by an M5.. oh well http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....A188&kw=27&p=0

If they offer $900. For the trade in value, I will give you you $950. and drag that problem off of your lifes horizon.

I know that I can deal with any 'issues' that do not include a 'messy title'.

if they make an offer that low I'll keep the car. its not that its full of problems. In all reality everything works fine aside from the rwd transfer clutch now because I fixed the front dif and all new bearings. So it will just be fwd for a month or so until i can save up more funds.

I also think 950 is sort of a low ball for a car that, other than a simple solenoid C and transfer clutch, is in pretty good condition. I will say that Chris keeps a clean car... theres really no way for him to have known about the differential or the transfer clutch.

I'll probably keep it... Its way too much fun and I love the exhaust. puts a big smile on my face every day i drive it. other things will break, Im prepared for that, and when they do Ill just try to be ready to head them off.

yep Im a clean person what can I say but contact me about the issues I have been waiting on ....
