Thanks.

I think you're doing okay. How could be such a wonderful machine so that cheap? I spent like $8K on my 92LS-L 7 months ago. Loaded everything and touring package. It'd 55K on the clock that time. Now it's still 58K. Tires were okay but not matched. I'd two like new (9 out of 10) Brigestone RE95 at the back. There're pretty good. Most importantly, also it'd a pretty new tranny w/ two tranny coolers, and had some recent $800 work on the receipts. I bought it because of the low miles and new tranny and two coolers. The rest of conditions are so-so to good. For this car, I even gave up a cheaper 94 LSi I found but 25K extra miles. I don't wish to buy a car that always goes to the shops for repairs. I have a big one the 60K service to come maybe I'll drag a little bit....if yours already done with 60K main service and free of problems for you of 2 years or more.... it's a good deal.

Since i've been working in the car business for the past few months, i have learned that the SVX really does have great resale value. From what i've seen, anyone who finds a running SVX for less than $6000 is looking at a great deal. Mandi's SVX is a reconstruct title, and she paid $4800 for it and it hasn't needed any work since she's had it. Now it has a slight oil leak, no big deal. The appraiser that i know said that as a trade in on a new car, it's worth about $4000. To sell it privately, $5500-$6000 would be a fair range. That's right from the "used car lot appraiser dude" as we call him.

I think to most of the members of this site, the car is worth ten times the appraised amount.

Well to some of you, it might only be $13,900 for a '97 LSi.
