Re: What do you guys think about this SVX?
I've yet to find a car that is cheaper to insure than an SVX. This includes quite a wide variety of vehicles including AWD Volvos. And my driving record isn't exactly spotless. I wouldn't think that one extra car would make that much of an impact with all of the discounts that insurance companies are doing.
Also, why not fly out and drive it back. That should give the trans a good test Last edited by 1986nate; 03-30-2012 at 08:37 PM. |

Re: What do you guys think about this SVX?
Tony, did you bid? I could have sold you my extra pair of beige leather seats and you could have covered them with the grey leather. Surprised only 2 bids for what seems like a nice car, and rust free Im sure being from Cali. I agree with you, I wouldnt want to share my svx with my son either. Did anyone here win the bid?

Re: What do you guys think about this SVX?
No, I decided not to after all. I was seriously tempted on this one. But my wife is right that the insurace will be much more expensive if we have three cars and three drivers versus two and three. More than likely, we will buy a third car when the younger brother turns 16 which is four years from now. It might be a bit too soon to get that car.
Plus, even though he re-painted the car in the listing, he didn't get it clear coated. I am not a paint expert but that just sounds like a bad idea.

this seller is obviously dishonest and definitely NOT the original owner... unless you start counting owners with 84,785 miles on the clock. Actually, the guy was the 3rd owner and that particular SVX was adopted and raised on the "rusty east coast". Made its way to sunny calif in September... 09/25/2008 with 84,785. Any "rust free Im sure" would be derived from reverse osmosis during the last 4,000 miles of it's total existence. CarFax history... 05/16/2008 84,236 Virginia Inspection Station Vienna, VA Failed emissions inspection 09/25/2008 84,785 California Inspection Good decision Tony! Keith |

Sounds like you made a wise decision. As tempting as it may have been, Im sure your better off waiting.

With all due respect, cars from Virginia are not typically rusty.

Re: What do you guys think about this SVX?
Yeah after a few minutes of thinking on it I figured you were both probably right.

Re: What do you guys think about this SVX?
No clear coat is a very bad idea. My '92 Claret had a cheap paint job with no clear coat when I bought it. The paint was totally flat and oxidized already.
