1997 SVX LSi, 133K, less than $5000
The price was $6977.00, reduced to $597.00 and is now at $4977.00
The member who went to look at the car said it was "awesome" and that the only flaw he could find in the paint was a small scratch on the roof which did not penetrate the clearcoat. I asked the selling dealer to get back to me with additional photos and shots of the interior. Also information on maintenance and service history. This may be a good find for someone...

Re: Anyone near Franklin, TN.
John, I know you dont really like Red, cause youve told me multiple times. So Im assuming your going to buy it and hold on to it for awhile, until I sell my polo and then I can buy it from you.

UPDATE: 1997 SVX LSi, 133K, NOW $3500.00!!
Quote:
UPDATE: Josh Ellis, owner of the dealership for this car , called me this evening (I don't know how he got my cell phone number, I only gave him my email address) and left me a message that said: "Come on down and pick up your new 97 SVX, because the price has been reduced to $3,977.00" About 30 minutes later, I received another phone call from him (Why is he at the dealership at 10pm on a Sunday night?) His latest message said: "It's Josh Ellis again. I have to move this SVX real quick, so I have reduced the price to only $3,500. Call me tomorrow." Franklin Tennessee is just south of Nashville. Anyone here close by that can give it a once-over? Seems to really be a steal at this point. He is willing to give me a carfax and says there are some leaks from the valve covers and that the timing belt seems to have been replaced recently. Here is his inventory on his website with more photos http://www.joshellismotorcars.com/inventory.html What are Tennessee Motor Vehicle Inspections like? .

Re: Anyone near Franklin, TN.
TN is like KY, they don't do yearly inspections....the only time a car needs to be inspected is when it is bought from another state.....
I'm about 3 hours from there, but there is no way I can get over there this week, as I have to work... I have a XT buddie in Nashville that would probably go check it out, but he's never been around a SVX, and isn't that Mechanically inclined...so he probably isn't the best guy to check it out... You can PM me if I can be of any help..

Re: Anyone near Franklin, TN.

UPDATE 2: 1997 SVX LSi -- BACK UP TO $4977.00!!
Quote:
I finally found out the answers to the two questions highlighted in red above... These phone calls were made to me by Dan Mancini (SVX92-97), using a very convincing accent, (a sort of combination Hispanic/ southern/ black, slightly slurred drawl). He thought I would catch onto him at some point. After I emailed Dan the latest information on the offering, he and decided to come clean and leave me a voice message before I called the REAL Josh Ellis in Tennessee and offered to accept his deal. An email from Dan was also in my mailbox this morning and it said: "The Joke is on you. I never laughed so hard in my life. That was me pretending to be Josh Ellis, and you fell for it, not once, but TWICE. I can't believe you didn't recognize my voice. You've known me for how long now?? 3 years! Sorry, I hope you're not mad, it was a funny prank, but I had to let you know before you called Josh and looked stupid. Call me" For just a moment, I had wondered why someone would slash the price of the car by $1000.00, and then an additional $500.00 less than an hour later, but quickly dismissed it from my mind. So it seems that svxcess has been PUNK'D for the second time this year (first the Reading 9 "oil spill" and now this...) In the words of our most articulate, soon-departing and soon-to-be ex-president... "Fool me once, shame on ... .shame on you..... Fool me... .you can't get fooled again! I guess this was an inaccurate statement... .

Re: Anyone near Franklin, TN.
The one in atlanta is sold. I am the guy that checked out the red one in franklin. The car is in really great shape, besides the small scratches in the roof. It looks like something light was set on top of the car and then pulled off, scraping the roof. Like I said, they didnt seem to get past the clearcoat and could be buffed out. Behind the bra is anyone's guess. If I didnt already have two of these cars I would be all over this one.
