Well.. I managed to find another (Opinions?)
Alright.. Again, like the '95 Polo, this is pre-mechanic inspection.
'94 LSi Laguna Blue Clean CarFax 3rd owner 114,000 miles Regular maintenence. New timing belt 2 weeks ago New brakes 2 months ago Rebuilt tranny 6 months ago, 1.5 years warranty left. (Receipts for all) Needs new front tires Needs new rotors Exterior: In good condition, couple parking dings here and there, nothing over the size of a half-dollar. Interior: All leather in good shape, no cracks, etc. Stereo works fine. AC blows cold. Antenna got snapped off in a carwash and the company wouldn't pay for it. Guy is asking $4,700 for it, which places it right about at the KBB and NADA for "Good" condition. He's only about 120 miles from me, so this one's definitely doable... Just looking for opinions on price, etc. Don't have any photos yet, he'll be getting some and emailing them to me in a couple days. Also, anyone know any reputable mechanics in the Joilet, IL area whom I could send this to for the inspection? The seller has someone in mind, but call me paranoid, I'd rather use one I picked. --Wulf (Edit: I do have one pict, but it's absolutely horrible quality.. However, you can see that the wheels are, in fact, in the right place! ) Last edited by Knightwulf; 10-02-2004 at 06:14 PM. |

Looks great. Be sure when you test drive it to make sure the tranny shifts fine and make sure to notice anything and everything. Turn on the a/c and drive too. Tires will cost about 500 or so....could probably get it cheaper on tirerack.com. Rotors shouldnt be that much...their on ebay for 259 for all 4.

I must say Knightwulf that I have a soft spot for Laguna Blue - it is just an awesome color on an SVX. I'd definitely go and test drive the car and make sure the trans, rear wheel bearings. etc. are all in good shape. If it checks out, offer the guy 4K to start with and maybe $4,400 max. -Chike

Blue is such an awesome color. I sure hope this one works out for you.

I was praying this wasn't some as-of-yet-undiscovered high CoO I had yet to find about the SVX. I was looking at the 225/50-16 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ero+Nero+M%26S) at Tirerack.com and it looks to be about $440 w/shipping for a set of 4. Right now, I'm just looking for a good set of A/S as with the initial cost of the vehicle and getting a few things up to spec, I'm not going to be able to afford a seperate set of winter tires. |
