Another possibility (Opinions on price?)

Well, I've found another.. Much closer.

It's a 95 LSi, Laguna Blue, 113k, sparkling CarFax (very regular maintenence, 2 owners.)

The only external blemishes are 2 less-than-dime-sized pockmarks in the hood.

Even the driver's side sunvisor's still intact.

She needs new brakepads (any suggestions on these?), that's it. ..and a new timing belt in 7k miles, obviously. Tires are almost new. Custom rims (though I think I prefer the OEM).

Elsewise, she appears to be flawless.

I talked the current owner down to $5200

I bet you could get them to go a little lower....

I would do Akebono ceramic pads if you buy it.

Update: Got the seller to drop down to $5000 and I'm bringing Phast SVX and his local SVX guru (A Subaru Master Mechanic) with me to check her out on Wednesday.

Do you have any more pictures?

I hope this isn't true but the gap on the back of the passenger door seems to be uneven. Maybe it's just the picture or maybe the door latch "anchor" needs to be adjusted in a bit.

Unfortunately, that's the only one I have.. However, the window tracks seem to line up.. May just be a trick of the light. I'll find out in Wednesday when I go to do the final inspection before pickup.

Knightwulf, I can see that Laguna Blue in your hot little hands now!

In regards to the gap on the passenger door, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the lower door panel coming loose. The same passenger side panel is coming loose on my SVX and I need to pick up some epoxy to secure it again. A cheap $4 fix!
