New to the SVX ownership!
just bought (on a whim) a 1992 suby svx! i came out to colorado to visit a friend, ended up getting a job, and in the breakroom mentioned maybe i should buy a car instead of a plane ticket home as i could visit people and such. ANYWYAS.
its maroon colored, it has some body damage to the back passenger q-panel. Engine runs well, starts up in the cold, has 179k miles on it. best part? everything works but the cruise control, and i only paid 600$ for it, no, i didn't forget a zero or mistype, six hundred.  . it has tires with only 6k miles on it as well!only thing i foresee that might be a problem, is that i can smell a little burnt oil in the engine compartment when the car is on So! i guess i am now a proud owner of a SVX!

Congrats and welcome to the gang! May your transmission never fail you.
 Try poking the cruise button repeatedly. Sometimes they get moody and only come on when they feel like it.

the tranny was apparantly replaced after 100k miles, no idea where that leaves me
also, im getting like 10mpg city, im guessing because its really cold and im letting it sit and idle for like 5 mins to warm up? still seems a little low. Meh, i still love this new toy!

It'll help to get an accurate figure for your mileage. I get between 14-17 pure city, which is sticker mpg. If it's below that, you might need to replace your O2s, or maf, or adjust the timing or something, who knows.
