Thinking of buying SVX. Your opinion
I went and looked at SVX yesterday and I would like to have your 2¢ worth.
Here the skinny minni on the car 1) Car is a 1992 model and has 150,000 miles on it 2) Transmission was rebuilt at 112, ooo miles 3) New bearings put in this spring all around 4) Brakes and rotors done last year 5) Rust around the rear fenders where the bumper and body meet. Not too bad 6) Some rust on the doors beside the cladding. Not too serious looking 7) Everything worked apart from the a/c and one of the rear window. You can hear the motor working but it not coming down. 8) Sunroof worked but you had to push slightly on it to get it started and it it as slow opening and closing. 9) Car color is black (unforntuantely) and paint is in so - so shape. Asking price is $2500. When I drove the car it appeared to run well and the transmission shifted with no issues. Car had good pickup. Owner seemed to pretty good with the mechanical upkeep. Overall impression was that the major issues with this car were cosmetic (rust and paint). Are these common rust area and are they easily fixed? Is this a reasonable deal? I tempted to buy the car subject to a mechanical inspecton but I'm not sure about the cosmetic issues. If aybody has had body work done in these areas can they give an idea how much it costed them. Since you guys know more about these cars than I do plese give me your 2¢ worth. My plan is to use this car as a daily driver. Last edited by Londonsvx; 10-08-2006 at 11:16 AM. |
