Who is a first owner?

I am just wondering how many people on here are the first owner of thier SVX and how much they paid for it. And also what else they compared thier SVX to when they were looking.

I am the single/sole/only owner of my car. Bought it for $22K after a $2K rebate in March 1994. It is the 2WD model - that's all they had. In New Mexico at the end of the model year you have to take what you can get....

I've taken the brunt of the depreciation, but do not have to deal with things like broken window elevator switches that are caused by previous owner's misuse.

Been looking at other car owner's sites trying to find my next sports car. The new RX-8 has so many discontented owners that Mazda has issued a buy back for those who ordered and are disappointed (at the price they paid - so those that paid $3K over list are turning them in big time). The G35 is a rattle bucket so bad that TSB's have been issued for fixes. So, I'm content to sit and wait with a 10 year old car that is still better than anything yet on the market.

I'm taking the liberty to say that a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) is a government document that deals with matters not warranting a manufacturer's recall (probably not life threatening defects). Somebody no doubt has a more exact definition.

Check out the above link.

If you are going to buy a used car it is advisable to research your prospective model here. Just for fun look up the SVX.

I'm the second, first owner was a retired surgeon from Short Hills, NJ. He had gotten it on lease as a work car and then purchased it when the lease was up, I have a copy of the window sticker somewhere. He had receipts for just about all the work ever performedon the car, although I didn't get to keep them. When he signed over the title he accidentally checked the box saying that the mileage was wrong, took us over a week to get straightened out.

I'm a third owner. My car's first owner was a mechanic named Liz, she sold it to an Engineering instructor when the tranny started to slip, he already had an SVX so he bought it for his girlfriend (and replaced the tranny after a few months), after a year they broke up and he sold it to me.

In other words, I'm not the first owner.

I was second owner, the first owner was the mother of the guy that owned the Subaru dealership, so the car got every TSB fix and every maintnace done on time till she passed away and left the car for me with 72K on it. I paid $13 freakin grand total in 1999, but it is in really good shape and I do love it.
