Sold the piece of crap
Sold the SVX. My 2nd jap car. Owned an rx7 convertible many years ago. I am an italian car guy. Currently own an alfa 164 and a maserati 425 biturbo intercooled. After having had the misfortune to change the plugs on this car, I am glad its out of my life. Sorry guys but I will stick with my to italian cars. Much easier to work on. Will never buy a jap crap again. Give me an italian any day. Good luck with this enthusiast overrated crap.

Funny how the SVX was designed by an Italian isn't it?

I don't think I can comprehend selling a car based on the difficulty of changing the spark plugs. Then again I don't comprehend owning a Maserati and wondering why I'm broke either.
Don't let the door hit ya where the [deity of choice here] split ya!

Ive owned a 1992 Subaru Legacy for 10 years now and despite random oil changes and NEVER
 changing the transmission fluid just add, The only thing Ive replaced is tires, battery, sparkplugs, and 1 timing belt. Best damn car Ive EVER owned. Sorry it didnt work out for you but to each his own.

Looking at the title of the thread (before I read the post) I thought he was talking about his house.
Having owned a 1964 Ferrari 250GT (which was the second most problematic car I have ever owned a 49-car history) I can say that while styling and performance were in the Italians favor, reliability and outrageous maintenance costs far outweighed those factors. Sometimes I waited 2 months to get a simple part to get it back on the road. The 1986 Maserati Biturbo owned by one of my girlfriends was another horror story. Cracking distribitor caps, overheating, fuel delivery problems. She said "owning this car was like paying someone to rape me .. when I could get raped for free." Good luck with overcoming your current housing troubles. Neither of the car's you decided to keep are comfortable to sleep in for any length of time. ,

Ill sleep in my Legacy anyday and drive it anywhere with it having 207k miles on it. About time for its annual oil change as it gets BETTER gas mileage when the oil gets old(about 30mpg) original plug wires, alternator, fuel filter, and check engine light ON the whole time Ive owned it. It has never left me stranded other than the timing belt. Low maintenance as I use "If it aint broke dont fix it" theory
 The SVX is also relaible after the tranny swap and "minor" problems it has that are easily fixed because of the information posted here. THIS IS THE BEST CAR COMMUNITY ON THE WEB BAR NONE. Dont come here expecting help and then slap everyone in the face because you cant fix your car. Good luck with your "exotic" italian spaghetti crap. Arrivederci
