Every time I go to replace my SVX I don't.

You are right about it being cheap to maintain. Once you have everything figured out (and no auto box to worry about biting it for no reason) and a small stockpile of parts, it gets pretty cheap.

I would not call what you have a small stockpile.

The corner in my room is a small stockpile.

You and Nate are ready for World War III.

I will probably get rid of the SVX when the total repair costs exceed my mileage driven.

It's not outside the realm of possibility!

Approaching 100,000 miles total time behind the wheel of an SVX, I recently totalled-up what I've spent on mine over the years: sales prices, parts, tires, everything but gas and insurance, and the grand total divided by the months driven still doesn't equal a typical new car payment.

Still, the to-do lists seem to grow longer even as my paycheck's buying power diminishes, they really need some TLC, and the potential for a massive repair bill looms larger every day. I'm stuck in Indecision Land.

Sadly,I may be selling the 'red sled' this coming Tuesday.The thought of a diminishing parts supply and the cost of some aftermarket parts doesn't,to me, sound like the idea of a good time. That and I need something more utilitarian.Maybe a forester or leggy wagon.If the car sells I will direct the new owner to hook up with you guy's.Your experience has helped me many,many times.This car has been fun to drive though.

Tony you are an inspiration, keep that SVX going. As for me, I'll be keeping mine as long as I can still get it repaired.
