W00d You Sell Your Anniversary Edition?

I am at a turning point in my life. Ive been making life changing decisions with no problem at all in the past few months but I cant seem to make a decision on this and I need some input.

Nuggit is gone but It paid for my move and some. Ive got 3 SVX left one I cant sell because its mechanically perfect and my dad drives it. So there are two left and ones got to go.

93 AE formally RSVX's car. mechinacally sound overall, some electircal bugs yet to work out, 168k miles or so,4.44 automatic, power steering leaks,fresh paint job cosmetically this car is near perfect. I estimate It needs about $200 in parts if I do the labor and its done. Ive got about 6k invested

92 L 02 wrx manual trans conversion,resealed engine,prw radiator, HIDS, tomyx intake, fresh black paint with blue pearl. 170k miles, needs a driveshaft,electircal work, calipers need rebuilt, needs exhaust from primary cats to muffler. Im guessing this car needs approx $650 to complete. ive got about $4000 invested.

I know this sounds kinda lame but being indecisive about it all is eating my a$$ and I need to make a decision...like within a few days.

Re: W00d You Sell Your Anniversary Edition?

Sell the '92, if you can. I'd still be hanging on to my AE if she hadn't been sacrificed to an inattentive driver. Even high mileage, I think those are the ones to keep. Along with the '97s of course. I sure miss the Barcelona Red and the way she turned heads.

No contest.

Comparing a 5speed swapped car to any automatic, 4.44 swapped or not, is like deciding to keep Civic vs. a Corvette.

Put the money in to get the 5speed back on the road, and enjoy having an SVX the way they were supposed to be made.

I'd sell the 5 speed and keep the nicer car. You can always drive a manual in your s60R (if you still have it).

Re: W00d You Sell Your Anniversary Edition?

Can I have dibs on the AE if you sell it?
Seriously, after I pick up the red 96 from itsjusteric, I just need to get a 93 to have one of every year.

In all seriousness, Probably keep the AE. Mechanically sound and seemingly less issues to worry about.
It also depends on what you're wanting the SVX for at this point. Your 92 sounds like it's very similar to Nuggit as far as mechanics and the parts you pulled off Nuggit before the sell.

If it was me, and it's not, I would keep the 93 and sell the 92.

Re: W00d You Sell Your Anniversary Edition?

believe me Id like to keep both if I could. The 92 is still in VA id need few days to get it into drivable condition.

I even thought about converting the AE to a manual and putting all of the goodys on it from the 92 then just sell the 92 shell...but then..the AE wont be even close to original.

so far im leaning more towards selling the AE its drivable, unlike the 92. But when its in motion it does turn soooo many heads...I feel like king of the road when im driving in what I think is the flagship of Subaru.

Another question in my mind is how much do you guys think its worth? I had it re-re-repainted so the key marks are gone, paint is flawless.

This made a lot of sense...I hate driving an auto in the snow and CO gets lots of it from what I hear.

Anniversary is for sale.
Glad I could help. This is the choice I would make too, assuming the SVX isn't your only means of transportation, seeing as how the 5speed sounds like it's in more of a "project" state.

If you decide to sell some of the aftermarket bits off that AE before selling, I'd take those gauges (and that wing!) off your hands.

Seriously though...
