Hello. New to the forum.

Hello everyone. I live in Utah and am looking for a SVX and found one at a local used car dealer: http://tinyurl.com/ypqmrv

I noticed a small puff of white smoke when I first started the and none after that. Could that be indicative of worn rings or just that the car had not been started for some time? the puff never came back despite my continued effort to bring it back by revving the engine while parked.

The SVX drove well, the transmission shifted without slipping and there was no rear bearing noise. Nothing stands out except a buzz at 2500 rpm (shroud or guard?) and a bit of oil seepage around the right side valve cover. The car seems clean enough except for some parking lot rash.

The car was listed at $3999 but the price was just raised to $4499. I guess it was on sale

Anything else I should look for? I'm a newbie regarding Subarus.

Thanks.

Jeff
