Calling all Subaru SVX experts

Hello everyone. I think I am probobly one of the youngest, and definetly newest, members to this network. I have just recently been thinking about trying to get a SVX, yet it has been difficult to locate one. I would just like to ask everyone if they can give me some advice on which year they think is best, and on what is most affordable. Also what defects (if any) does the SVX line have? I live near Sacramento in California and I can spend up to around 3500 but no more than that. I would also like to know what the basic differences are between the years. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to say anything you want to help a poor, young American boy who wants a new toy.

Hey welcome.

You might want to get a little extra cash ready for when you purchase your new SVX. There is usually a few things wrong, be careful that nothing is major. The SVX is a great car but it get price to fix.

I am not trying to discourage you, just preparing you for the inevitable. The 92's and some 93's are very prone to transmission failures. There are some inexpensive preventive measures that you can take and one is free, Don't drive her like a tuner car. This can kill a tranny quick. Respect the SVX and she will take care of you.

Thanks you guys, I think subconsciously I want a car that has nice looks, which I see in the SVX. Not only that but the price for them aren't too bad (except some seem outrageous), and Subaru have been known to make good quality cars, plus the AWD is great for where I live becuase of snow. Overall it is deffinetly an upgrade from my 1991 Loyale Wagon, I might be a little ignorant, but for me, it's deffinetly worth my money. All I have found are 1992's though, and I wouldn't mind having to replace some parts, but I would rather aviod it. Thanks for the link too, I was just looking at it and discussing with my dad if we could afford it, maybe my next post will be a more exciting one. Thanks to everyone.

Keep in mind that some of the 94 and 95 SVXs were FWD .... yes subaru actually made some non all wheel drive cars !!!!! shocking, isn't it
