Went to check out a 92 near Keele & Steeles for kicks. Anyway you have to wonder why a dealer does not let you test drive it without an offer for the car first? Gee, I wonder if the tranny's gone. Buyer beware.

Make a conditional offer - conditional upon you being satisfied with the driving condition and handling of the car.

I've been keeping an eye on autotrader.com. What color was it? I'll be in the market for an SVX in about 2 months time (when my car should be paid off) please let me know if anything interesting becomes available in your area.

Black. What's your budget?

It depends... If the mileage is quite low and the car is in pristine condition and needs nothing, I would be willing to pay up to $8000 CDN. An SVX with a good body but with a lot of mileage, wouldn't be worth any more than $3000 to me.

There's a black one selling at "Jasmin Used Cars" with 205000 kms for $2900. Is that the one you are warning us about? I had considered that one, which at first glance seems like an appropriate price (from what I can tell from the pics) and assuming that it's in good running condition didn't seem like a bad deal at all. The problem is that I would have to get my brother who lives in St. Catharines to get the car checked out by a mechanic for me. With shipping and taxes on top of that, that car would end up costing me about $4200.

All of the sudden that $2900 doesn't seem like such a good deal.

if it has a cracked rear bumper...it's been sitting around for over a 1 1/2 yrs..
I looked at one in that area that far back.
It didn't drive badly as I recall.
