Because of soaring fuel prices here in NZ, im going to have to sell the SVX and get a more economical car (1993 Toyota Corona)
Sad to see it go, but thats the way its got to be. http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/a...sp?id=34731369 |

Sorry to hear you're selling it, but I agree that petrol prices here are getting painful.

Yeah, i only get about 500kms(if im lucky) off a full tank of 98. Its crazy, specially being a student and travelling 100kms a day.
Think i saw your car drive past when i was out in the hutt a couple of months ago. looks mint. |

svxsvx, the current price for 96 here is around $1.60/L and is expected to pass $2/L by the end of the year. The problem we have is, is only a few months ago it was $1.10/L. |

Sorry to hear you are selling man.
I have one of my SVXs for sale, and the '93 one in development. When I parked the SVX, I got a twin turbo Legacy estate for an everyday car. It does everything really well, is faster than the SVX, can carry everything, no, make that EVERYTHING!, so is a sensible change from a big heavy guzzling coupe. Except that it gets it very hard to beat 20 mpg, and our fuel prices here are climbing also. Strangely enough, all Subaru WRX people I have met and discussed it with, they seem to take this as normal. Not sure on exchange rates, but I suspect your $1.20 is way cheaper than here, and your $1.60 is about what we are paying at present. I hope you get a good price for the SVX. I may take mine off the market. A time of high fuel price hysteria is not the right time to be selling an SVX, which is a "high maintenance" car in the normal sense of the term. Best of luck with the sale. If economy is your goal, and you still want speed, I can recommend a VW Passat Tdi. My brother had one of these. It could really haul ass, and still gave 40 mpg. Hard to beat that in the real world. Joe

SVXNZ - fuel prices
Mate, I dont know what your fuel prices are, ours at $1.20 for premium at the moment (Brisbane) but if an extra job for a few weeks keeps you in the car thats got to be better than selling it. Once its gone its gone forever.....
