Anybody in NJ who could check this out?
Anyone on the site near this dealership in NJ? Figure it might be a good garage mate for my 175k (and allow me to turn the 175k into a full time Auto-X car)

Thats right around the corner from me. I will gladly go take a look for you. I have a few initial worries just by looking at the auction. And I am in no way a subject matter expert, so please correct me where need be.
1. Its obviously and L or LE (no wood trim), with that, is it possible for it to be an AWD model? 2. Its listed as a 1995, when did the 60/40 rear seat split become incorporated, I thought it was before 1995? 3. Carfax anyone????? VIN: JF1CX3350SH100076

Chris,
Yeah, I had the same questions, thus the request for a "hands on" inspection. From the looks of the VIN, it is a very early model (#76?), so Subaru might have switched things later in the model year. Thanks!! -Bill

95 On ebay
She's a 95 L or at least that is what it decodes as in my system. The AWD and ABS came as a package on the L series in that year.

The X33 in the VIN means it's an LS AWD (The LSi VIN has X35 in the VIN)
The L and the LS both had gray cloth interior and a 1 piece fold down rear seat. The top-of-the-line Lsi with leather had the split 50/50 rear seat. The L was front wheel drive only. (It said in the ebay ad that the car was an AWD) So it is definitely an LS

SVX on ebay
I should hope it would! Heck even a 95 Legacy with 70k on it should sell for about 6ish in great shape with a decent service history.

According to Joe Spitz, he L came standard with 4 speaker stereo (no tweeters in the dash) matte gray finish dashboard and console and without a spoiler, which was optional. The LS and LSi had the wood grain dash and 6 speaker stereo standard, as well as the spoiler. Only the LSi, with leather, had the split 50/50 seat. The L and LS were one piece For more info go to http://www.cars101.com/subaru_svx.html However, looking at the photos on ebay, it has tweeters in the dash and the spoiler as well, along with the gray dash and cloth seats. maybe Joe Spitz's site is in error.

SVX on Ebay
I would think that this if it is in 9 out of 10 shape would bring about 8k. 7k on ebay at best though. Ebay seems to increase the value of crap while decreasing the value of the good stuff.
All the SVXs have the tweeter holes (mine does just empty). The spoiler seems to be on virtually every L from 95 that I have seen. I'd say Joe's right on

Nice looking car Bill
I say use this one for your toy car. It's lighter (fewer options) and a has a lower Cg (no sunroof). Just a thought.

I looked at this car a fgew weeks back. The dents of the driver's door are very noticeable in person as are the other minor dings on the hood he mentions. It has a power steering leak. There are things protruding from the front bumper that he can't explain. The interior could use a shampoo. I started it, but didn't drive it. It sounded OK. There are some minor side dings, but other than the driver's door, it is very straight. he had it on ebay before and the bidding didn't get very high. If I remember right, he wants $7000 for it. I think for that price you can find a better one.
