SVX I want to purchase...
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to this excellent SVX site/forum. I was introduced to your community via JamSVX... Anyway, I'm not a SVX owner yet but I could be pretty close. There's one for sale in a local car yard you see... I've driven it, and really like it, but the asking price is pretty high (AUD$29,900). Today I took some pics of it and uploaded them in my personal locker here => http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/user.php?amuse It's a white '94 model with about 120,000KLM on the clock. Since it's an Australian version, that means leather/suede interior, sunroof, powered everything, climate control, etc. The transmission has *not* been worked on according to the dealer. The service log is impeccable. Original purchase price was AUD$80,000! I would love to here some opinions, but you Aussies round here better not buy it before me! Cheers, Pete http://www.mp3.com/petealec |

You made it!!
Be warned.....the members on this site will descend and twist your mind until you become obsessed with the SVX! Look what they did to me...and I don't even have an SVX! Regards James BTW, how did you manage to get the photos of the car? We had to hang over a fence (see my locker for the 'demonised canary' as Aredubjay calls it - I love that description!) Oh, I also see that the compliance plate is there - re: our emails about the VIN and build dates

Looks good to me. If the price is right -- i am not sure about the AUD -- go ahead and get one. Oh. tell the dealer that the front wheels are on backwards.
Have a nice day mate. Lwin

was the 240kmph speedo a stock part there? I know in Japan they only went to 180.

Hope you work out the deal. Note that the left front wheel is on backwards which means of course one of the others was is also. If you dont find another one on wrong ask why you have 3 right side rims. The left one have a small L by the stem. At least mine does. Caio Wayne |

Re: Re: SVX I want to purchase...
Well, thanks for the response everybody. I hadn't noticed the wheel thing.. I'll check it out.
As for AUD's and KLM's... yes KLM is Royal Dutch Airlines and I should know because I was born and raised in Holland Anyway 1 Mile = 1.6 Klm (approx) Also, 1 USD = 2 AUD (approx) So this car has done about 75,000 miles and the *asking* price is about US$15,000 Now you have to remember, this is a fully optioned version, and that cars are generally more expensive in Oz. I would like to get it for no more than AUD$20,000 (i.e. US$10,000). Maybe I'm just dreaming though. About the speedometer, I'm pretty sure the Australian model always went up to 240, again this is in Klm/Hr not miles/hr... Thanks for the input Cheers, Pete. |

Okay, now you're speaking my language. I paid way too much for mine, but, it was before I knew anything about the car, and I WANTED IT. I paid just under 9,000.00 USD for a 92 LSL (fully loaded) with 109K, two years ago. We can buy a decent '92 here for around 6,000.00 USD. I really wanted to fly to Texas and get a 94 with 58,000 miles for just under 10,000.00 USD, but, it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Since cars are a bit more expensive in OZ, if he's asking 15, offer 10 and hope he'll take 12, or, offer 10 and a keg of Fosters and promise not to sneak back to his house and put a Boomslang in his bed.

Yes, I intend to make an offer fairly soon, but there are other factors at play unfortunately... hopefully it will stay on the dealer's floor for good few weeks... Cheers, Pete. |

This is the way to keep it on the dealer's floor -- have a few of your friends make some offers to the dealer and have them keep the SVX at the dealer a little longer. It always works for me if I want to keep the car for a while longer in Chicago. The dealer will think there are demands... Lwin

Beautiful car (nice Jag beside it too). My favorite color scheme (I'm still pissed they didn't sell them in that scheme when I bought my '96 LSi). Funny how we always notice that the wheels are on wrong first thing. It's like a sore thumb. Anyway, like everyone says, check the tranny and drivetrain out really well. Compare prices. Get a warranty that covers the tranny. Like I said, beautiful car. Yep, beautiful.
