What's so "advanced" about them? They have and engine, wheels, and air conditioning. The awd system hardly works, stopping power is weak, mpg blows, they're slow, and they need premium fuel which isn't cheap anymore. What normal person would go out looking for a car and say this is the right one for them, especially if the kbb listed them for high prices?
I don't mean to totally down the car that I own, just stating the facts. Now that mine has a manual transmission and upgraded brakes I'm sure I'll fall back in love with it.. but I don't expect to get back what I put into it. I guess we should be glad they're cheap, that means we can buy them all

Well said, I have two on the road and I would love more. I love my cars love to show them off, but honestly it will take a very long time for collectors to be interested in them. Take a look at Austin Healey’s they are kind of unique and still not too many collectors are after them. My husband and father in-law both had one. I could sell all three of my svx's and have a down payment on a 500 hp vehicle. Honestly one car with 500hp would be a hole lot of fun to drive. But I cannot afford the payments and really love the svx’s as they were once a dream car of mine.

i love my svx, now just rolling over 32,000 miles on it i fully intend to enjoy it, i also do not see loosing any money on it when i do decide to sell it
"not any time soon so back off !!" lol i just ordered the cloud side skirts the nice deep dish stagered wheels HIDs this car looks like something from last years models, i always say if you put alot of time and money into the "design of a car" it will last the test of time, and the svx does that well,

I chose not to read any further as it proves to me this guy has an opinion and not researched. You have formulated your opinion, most would have to disagree and that’s about that. Unless you are hurting for numerical amount of posts then find a different topic please. I assume this article clearly made you all excited about the car. You cannot believe all you read just drive the car and find out for your self.

[QUOTE=ensteele]What is so advanced? You hear over and over that they were ahead of their time. Marketing was one of the biggest problems and even today, most people don't know what the heck they are. That is what I like about them. You don't see 12 of them on the way to work or a weekend drive unless you are at a meet.
UNLESS YOUR PASSING EARLS HOUSE!

"When someone inquires here about the value of a purchase they are considering I have never seen this appreciation mentioned. Often multiple voices will opine that the asking price is too high. This not only fails to recognize the inevitable trend, but goes against the interest of any current owners, which appears to include many of those making the comments." cdvs
I believe that we are doing what this site is designed to do, we are passing on information to others on this site. I would feel really bad if someone got soaked by a used car dealer. If you were in the grocery store and someone about to pay $12 for a gal. of milk, wouldn't you speak up. If more people in this country would look out for thier fellow man, we would all be a lot better off. Now everyone make room so I can climb down off my soapbox.

It may become a collector car, but it's going to be a lot of years before it does. I think a lot of the imports from the mid 90's are going to become collectors, but it's going to be about 15-20 more years before they do. I think in that time your going to see the Supra, 3000gt, RX-7, 300zx, and maybe SVX become classics. They will bring a lot of money, but only in really nice condition and I don't think they are going to compare to the chrome corvettes for collectors.

http://www.subarusvx.com/images/carp...r/other094.jpg At least, they consider it to be in the same class as the 300ZX and 3000GT. EDIT: Carfax is useful, but not an end-all-be-all. If Carfax were omniscient, it would know that my car was in some sort of incident from its last owner, which it didn't know. Carfax only knows what gets reported. If reports drop off the face of the Earth, so does Carfax's ability to show you what's up. Last edited by Nomake Wan; 03-21-2007 at 07:33 AM. |
