Thinking about selling... Someone help!
Well, the time may have come for this particular SVX of mine to pass on to the next owner. I am moving to Seattle in August/the end of July, and simply need money more than I need the car.
I do not have a job lined up in WA, so I'm not sure what I'll be doing. I may not even need a car to get to and from work (I do some remote web and graphic design anyway). My car blue books at $4000. With all the required and preventive maintenance and modifications that I have made, I think my car is realistically worth at least $4500 (it also has a rebuilt tranny with only 20k on it). However, I really don't want to leave my baby. I'm thinking that I should be able to put away about $1000 - $1500 from the sale for a new apartment and some spending money (I have more cash saved up). I'm also hoping that I can then spend about $3000 - $4000 on a decent '92 or '93 SVX. If I'm lucky, maybe I can get another decent '94... Anyway, I'm not sure why I'm posting this thread. Maybe for some emotional support, or perhaps a few words of advice from the other SVX addicts around here. Maybe it's a forecasting temporary good bye? There are a lot of SVXers up there in the Northwest. The last time I visited Seattle, I saw four different SVXen for sale in the newspaper alone. Is this common? Would it be fairly doable to get a somewhat nice SVX with that amount of money? I definitely can't wait for AWD if this pulls through the way I want it to. |

YOU POSTED BECAUSE
YOU REALLY WANT AN AWD SVX! You have said it many times. So, go ahead and sell, then find another SVX with AWD traction.

Re: YOU POSTED BECAUSE
I agree. It's the right time to sell and get that AWD '93/'94 SVX you've always wanted!

Not to rain on your parade, but I think it will take more than $3,000 or $4,000 to get a good 93 or 94 AWD. I guess you would have to define what decent is. 93 usually go for a little more because they are the Anniversary Edition, and 94 are newer than 92s. There are some good ones around though, and with a little help, you may be able to find what you are looking for.

So, my first reaction was to grab a frying pan and drive over to Grass Valley and BONK YOU ON THE HEAD!!!
Then i figured the PC aproach would be best... I'd just offer you $3000 for the car... Then I discover it's a FWD... Sell the MF*** and get an AWD, after all, it is Seattle you're moving to, and stick arround, I'm thinking of a seattle,portland/ect trip this winter if my '92 is back on the road Then I can drive back to NJ to see if Kelli thinks I have a nice butt

A slight oil leak or PS leak won't bother me much either. I won't stand for leaking coolant though (after dealing with my water pump ordeal). I have no problem changing a seal or five (i.e. cam and crank seals). Changing a belt, flushing and refilling fluid is no problem either. Basically, I'm looking for an SVX with no major engine problems (i.e. a blown head gasket). As long as the tranny shifts smoothly and appears to have the appropriate amount of slip I am comfortable with it. If there is a flare or a large RPM drop between shifts, that is not what I would consider to be decent. Anyway... I would like to go to that auction in MT, but getting there without a car would kinda suck. Anyone have any ideas? |

Hey, the FWD is quicker than the AWD anyway. It's kinda fun when you can e-brake the rear end out of its traction threshold on dry pavement too. Could be a good parts car for your SVX with the shot tranny too. |

THE CAR IS FOR SALE, MAN
Anyone who has not noticed, I am officially in Seattle now. I will be moving into my apartment around the 15th of August.
So, long story short, my SVX is up for sale. The thread for it is here. I would like to sell it before the 15th. Therefore, I just dropped the price $250... Check out the thread for it to see all the info. Sorry to have to part with the thing, but you gotta do what you gotta do, eh? |

I wouldn't sell it. Reason? SVXs are not exactly rare, but finding one that's been well taken care of IS. If you know the history of your SVX, I think that's worth the money right there.
