The CEL being on will usually indicate an emissions problem. That can sometimes be an expensive fix, so get it checked out before you buy. Here in California, they will not pass a car for smog if the CEL is on.

Good luck in the hunt for an SVX.

Regarding the engine light they say that they will take it to a Subaru dealer and get it read and fixed if I am buying the car.
I have a 97,and no power light.....never even noticed a spot in the dash for it.
I bought an obdII code reader made by Stinger,sells for $160,it reads codes,and will clear them also.Of course being an auto tech,it helps me with plenty of other car's also,so you might not want to spend the $.
And when I 1st bought my SVX the check engine light was on with a cylinder #3 misfire code,I cleared the code and it hasn't come back since,this was about 20k mile's ago.

Overhere if it flashes like u said means there is something going bad with the transmission. If it is same in your case then have it checked up.
