New Svx On Ebay

Gee, I wonder how long the rear axel bearings are going to last on a car that has been sitting in one spot for 5 years? Let's see. The oil is 5years old, the gas tank has probably rusted from sitting at 1/4 tank, the hoses are probably dry rotted and the antifreeze has probably gone to pot. I wonder how long the 'GOLD' warranty on this baby is good for?

My guess is the wheels were replaced because the tires failed and they found that the lug nuts were rusted to the wheels and had to be torched off.

I love the SVX but I'd rather put Twenty K into a well cared for 25,000 mile '97.

...or five big ones into a well cared for '92. Isn't that what you did, Clyde? How's it running?

ALL SVXes have pastic tanks. So gas tank will not rust but other parts -- who knows?
