People to watch out for

[Onetrack]

Hey everyone.. (note, I cross posted this from the other forum as I want to get input from both sides)

So about a year ago I became the owner of ' OH THAT CAR ' a 1992 tri-colour right hand drive SVX. The car has been just awesome over the last year, its only got about 44k miles on it so far and drives and handles brand new.

I've been looking after it, mechanically babying the car as much as I can afford to, picked up one of the quick change kits from here and the car has been a champ, performing as though it just came from the factory.

I have 2 people who are interested in it now, and I think its time to part ways with it. One fellow is in Arizona, the other in Washington - both are offering a variety of trades / cash and seem like great guys - I'm just going to back this up a moment and give a little history on this particular car.

In December of 2008 I contacted the previous owner who had an ad on craigslist - his ad had the car listed for a reasonable price and also would consider a trade for a decent mini van as he had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way - I at the time had a 1998 chrysler town and country, which I offered, he was interested in it and I drove down 450km to his location so he could check it out. We drove all over the city, went to check out the car, it wasn't ready and wouldn't start (it had been sitting in a warehouse for 3 years) - needed a fuel pump and nothing was open as it was the end of December. I drove my own vehicle home and returned after it was ready - again, it wasn't ready for me to take, so I returned home in my own vehicle for another week and then we made arrangements to meet 1/2 way on Jan 10th and do the swap.

All went very well, we met at an insurance agent, I registered the SVX into my name, we did the swap, swapped plates and went on our way - I didn't see him again until June when we met half way to swap a set of tires.

I put about 1500 into the car after I got it home, not to mention it had been sitting for 3 years and needed all the fluids flushed, plus a tune up and oil change, maintenance that had not been done since it was imported. + the cost of going back and forth 3 x as well as the fuel pump was out of my pocket as well.

In August, 8 months into owning my older vehicle he started sending me awful emails and texts, claiming the vehicle had developed electrical problems and that I should pay him out of court 1500 or he'd ' sue me into the ground ' as his lawyer said it was a ' slam dunk ' case - I told him to pound sand and not contact me anymore, he did not and I haven't heard anything from him to this date.

Fast forward to this last week, I get a letter from a towing company in his city, they have the vehicle I swapped sitting in an impound yard as the insurance company states I still own it, doofus out there never submitted the transfer papers - so he's been driving around for a year in a car I own. Worse yet, he never bothered to insure it, note this was a vehicle he wanted specifically for his pregnant wife and their kids - what kind of person puts his family at risk like that???

So legally it is mine, he's tried to get it from impound a few times and they won't let him have it, thankfully I have the buyers copy of the transfer papers signed, dated and stamped from the insurance agent we swapped at. So I am absolved of the fees the company is wanting to charge for tow + impound + daily. It can rot there all I care

Now I'm at the point where I need more of a utility vehicle, my RHD JDM SVX is up for grabs - two highly respected members of the community have expressed interest in it so I am deciding which it goes to.

I'd like input on who you'd think it should go to, why - what it is worth on the market

Here are some pictures of it, I've tried to keep it nice and clean - and its an absolute joy to drive, remember, its a 92, just over 44k miles on her.
