Sell me on the svx I want to buy!

I've been reading here for a year or so off and on to get a feel for what the svx is all about. I must say I've wanted one for a while but it is a bit step for me. I own a xt6 that has a dead engine that would cost me about $2500 to repair. I found this silver svx at a used car lot here in town that is cheap for up here in canada (using USD while I talk here btw). It is a little under $6500. It is a salvage title so to speak as it was in a wreck that seems only dmaged the front right fender (is now replaced) and there is a chip in the paint on the same side bumper. It is a 92' awd, engine seems it great condition, nothing looks wrong in the engine bay. The car has 172,000 km (about 106,000 miles), tranny never replaced as of yet. The car has like racing trim added around the wheel wells and stickers on it (one is a nascar, on a svx lol, sticker just behind the back seat windows on both sides), some jerk off even painted the side lights in the back to look ricy. Interior is ok, some cracking in the leather but not too bad. Front rottors seem to be a little warped or have a rib that needs to be sanded off. The previous owner put some sticker thing on the gas cover too. Here's the only pic of it I can show you.

I talked to the guy and he said he hadn't had many people look at it, one he denide to sell it to him because he was a young kid that wouldn't take car of it. This guy at this dealership seems to be a moral guy, he collects rare cars (even said he'd buy the svx if he didn't just buy a porche). He told me after the test drive that the price was just on the window because he had to put something there, could drop a few grand canadian.

Because of the race stickers and what not, I amfriad the car must not have been treated the way I would treat the car by the previous owner, one thing I'm thinking about because of that is the tranny. Being a 92 and never had it replaced (not sure about repaired) and the possibility of it being beat on makes me worry. The price is half one at the subaru dealership in town is. That one has 97,000 km and it in perfect shape but they want $11,000. I can get this one for maybe $5000.

If this cars tranny died tomarrow it would have to sit for a while because I am young, and can hardly afford to buy it. It isn't going to be a daily driver anyway. A good thing is, this place gets all their vehicles inspected before they sell them (this car was bought from a mazda dealer here in town that couldn't sell it). I can tell this guy wants to get rid of it but not because there is something really wrong with it, but because they all want to have short turn around time with sales and a svx isn't going to sell fast to most people out there.

For me, all the 'extras' decals and what not on this car would have to come off, rotors may need replacing, exhaust is a little rattly but engine noise from the back of it is quite, chipped paint on the bumper, tires will need to be replaced soon. We'll see what the inpection finds else. I think it a great price if I can get it down to $5000. If the tranny died on me, I'd probably look into getting a 5-speed anyway instead of repairing the tranny. I will probably pay a $100 and get it inspected myself from somewhere and have a look under the engine.

Please let me know what you guys think!
