I guess thats true. I see quite a few SVXii around here. But I have never seen a Skyline in person, and The closes thing to the Soarer around here is the IS400 and 300 but they dont have turbos.

No, not kidding. Those are minor differences... nice (especially 4WS), but minor. It isn't like a Euro spec E36 (I believe) M3 and the U.S. spec... where there are real significant performance differences.

It is a great deal if you can't find any local ones in that kind of shape (it would be kind of hard anywhere ) and you also like a RHD.

My '92 was about $11,000 US with 64,000 miles on it, and back in 1997. That was where market value was then, and the floor dropped out fast after that... started seeing ones with less miles for $7-8k. It seems those in real good shape held some value pretty well. Oh, many of the '92 model year SVXi would have been produced in '91... just like almost all cars are release the year before their actual model year. I'm pretty sure the placard in my door jam says it was manufactured 4/91.

Tom, wouldn't the Soarer be more like a SC300?

Hi Nathan,

Colin from Terra2 Imports here. I was checking our stats and notice a lot of visitors from this forum were coming to our site. Looks like a good SVX resource.

We're eager to import one of these Subaru Alcyone's into Canada as soon as they become eligible in September!

After seeing your post here about bringing this SVX in, I wanted to check with you and inquire if you had contacted us about it yet? I checked and haven't seen anything come through with your name on it and didn't want you to miss out if this is your dream car.

If you're not quite ready, don't worry about it as there is an entire country of Subaru Alcyone's waiting for you.

To check for new SVX's just follow this link:

Import a Subaru Alcyone (JDM Subaru SVX)

I'll be back here later I'm sure for more tech info. Thx guys

Welcome! Great to see someone taking an interest in the svx. Are you able to import new or used JDM Alcyone parts also?

That looks to be a beautiful car. Go for it! is my advice.

My last SVX was a September 1991 car. It was Black over Claret, but not the top range model yours is. Your car has leather interior, ABS and Cruise, things mine did not have.

And my guess is the listed Kms on the clock means it has covered about 50,000 miles. In 15 years!! With service history. That car is worth every penny of the price.

And BTW. The glass tint in my Claret was green. Just like the glass in your black one. I could get no one to accept that glass came in any other colours except blue or bronze. I would like you guys to look at those pictures, and see if you think the glass tint is BLUE. No, I don't think so either, the glass is green.

My Black English model has glass that is probably what is called bronze, which I think of as smoke tint. I don't like it. It is not very dark, the glass is almost clear. The darker green tint on this JDM car is much better, suits the car very well.


Phil, do you think the glass in these pictures is blue?

Joe
