Another svx for svxcess
A couple of you may already know this but I bought a 1996 Polo Green LSi with 42,000 miles over the weekend. Larry III and I went up to Flemington Subaru in Flemington, NJ (near Princeton) the Saturday before last to check it out and I went to pick it up this last weekend.
It was bought new by a school teacher on January 2, 1997. She was really concerned about protecting it from damage and theft. She had WIDE body side moulding put on when new to protect the doors; which the dealer removed for me before detailing the car. She had all of the windows acid-etched with a special code, along with 2 additional alarm systems. She finally traded this green beauty in on a Baja. All maintenance records from day one, interior is absolutely flawless, (except for worn floor mats) . New brakes all around, new battery, factory rebuilt alternator, new Dunlop SP5000 (pronounced "noisy") tires. Car was always dealer serviced. Original asking price was $11,995. I got it for $9,300 plus another $800 for a Subaru extended bumper-to-bumper warranty for 2 years/24,000 miles.(I could have gotten a 3 yr./36,000 warranty on the power train alone for the same price) This car drives so much differently than my 92 pearlie. The beige interior and bronze glass makes the interior seem so much brighter and roomier than the dark gray. First item of business: Remove the two additional alarm systems she had installed; a Viper and a Clifford. Lots of extra wires and things I don't need. Stock alarm is perfectly adequate. I was familiar with the stock wiring in the pearlie, so I removed any and every wire from under the hood and dash which looked unfamiliar. Then replace the tires with either Yokohama AVS db's or Toyos. I want a very quiet performance tire. .
