Hello from new SVX owner

I have been watching this forum for some time while deciding to buy an SVX. I live outside of Denver in the mountains. South of Evergreen for those who know the area. I actually bought two black 92 LSL's out of NJ real cheap and plan on building up one and selling the leftover. Since they seem to sell for much more around here then I paid.

Anyway I appreciate all the technical talk and information. I am planning on using this car for commuting into downtown to work but also as a hobby/teaching tool (for my 16 year old son). I have not had a hobby car since my college days and the old firebird sitting in my dad's shop in OK isn't really made for the mountains and snow.

Any of you who are, or know top/cheap Subaru experts in the Denver area please pass their info to me. I am a fair mechanic from childhood but have never worked on Subaru’s or many foreign cars in general. I would like a trusted expert to help with or do some of the more difficult items and maybe just give the cars a once over for possible problem areas.

Thanks again for the info I have already gotten and I will try and be helpful when I can in return.

Welcome to the jungle!

Great to see yet another Coloradan, we're starting to get numerous. Too bad you're on the "other" side

Welcome!

If it were me, it'd be worth the drive to see Sean Doran (Doran's Auto Repair) in Steamboat Springs. The guy's a regular Beav. (That's a good thing. )

Welcome to the forum. When you have a chance, put some pictures in your locker and give us some information on your cars. What kind of shape are they in?

Did you get one of those SVXes from a blonde young man from NJ.
If you did, It has a Level 10 tranny.

Welcome to the club, T! You are in good company out there in Colorado. Look forward to seeing you on the board. Be sure to get some photos in your locker. You've seen one SVX you haven't seen them all!
