Anything I should be looking for? (Buying 92 SVX)
Hello everyone!
I am seriously considering purchasing a 92 SVX LS-L with 106K miles...IMMACULATE condition...inside and out...engine looks like it just came off the showroom floor...garage kept since 92...1 owner... going to test drive today (already tested startup...electronics and mechanicals)...anything i should consider or look for (to be concerned with). I have always had a place in my heart for the SVX...and even in not being an owner...if it came up in conversation, i have always championed it....for some reason i have follow quite a bit of its history and reputation, and I have seen that love here, so I figured I would ask the ones who would know and be unbiased. Thanks in advance for any info you can lend me! -Matt- |

If you get it Matt, we're right up the road from you. Can at least give moral support.

... And I am alittle farther up the road
First thing I always ask: Have you replaced the Tranny and/or Rear Wheel Bearings yet? I was lucky enough to find one that had both replaced

thanks for the info link! And yeah i decided to buy it...picking it up thursday. Been goin crazy lol...wife was about to smack me I think
AND..pretty much all of the mechanical service records were with the car...1 owner...passed away...garage kept...i could not believe the condition...so far so good...I think this one still has plenty of mojo left...but I am continuing its prestigious handling and care, to be sure! have checked into and opened up and looked into just about everything...road test was solid...tranny pulled awesome..it had been sitting so the short drive wasnt much for the fluids...but the viscosity was fine...smell was fine...all fluids (checkable). The hosing etc were all in near perfect condition...not even road dirt...the dealer said this was someones weekend driver...and their baby (from the looks of it). Im gonna hit the stratosphere shortly, lol, dont mind me. Ive had never cars etc etc..but i've always had a place in my heart for the SVX. The day is finally dawning and it feels good!...yeah yeah shoot me! Thanks to all for the local support "heads up" that was immense..but I thought the overall community, displayed here most prominently, was outstanding. Thanks again everyone! wish me luck! *nestling in for a long relationship with his new SVX* *and SVX world network!* -Matt- |

Falling in love with a used car can cause serious depression unless it is tempered with a liberal dose of reality. Best wishes.

Dude sounds like mine when I bougt it almost 2 years ago. 1 Owner, all records(all subaru dealer serviced locally) including booklets and original sticker, adult driven and respected, 112xxx on the odo when bought. The only thing other than the reg maint that has been due was the paintless dent removal tha cost $400 but made the car look like new! I am always being asked what year, I respond 92 Man that car looks like new!! Best investment of my life( other than my wife of course!!!) ENJOY!(I know I do!)

Good golly Miss Molly, another liquid silver in the area. Stopped at a local restaurant this weekend and parked next to a blue (just like Laguna Blue) Lotus Elise. The Owner was walking out of the restaurant and said "Wow, I just sold mine to buy this Lotus. Great car."
