Well, congrats and welcome to the club! It's nice to see the really pristine SVXs land in the hands of enthusiasts. Just out of curiousity, what's your jail sentence for the price you paid?

Ya you right about the Price, but i was unsure at first. Had a little buyers remorese at spendeing most of my savings on a 92 ride, But after checking out this site & a few others & driving it ( a lot ) 300 + miles this week & i worked 50 hours lol ( i work 2 minutes from home ) so i now find myself with a fairly unique & semi rare car, that just happens to haul ass & well you know.
So my SVX went from buyers remorse to buyers DELIGHT in 0 to 6 days. Im still so happy its like a drug lol. Gargoyle.. |

Re: Lucky Me !!!!!!
Just hoping to remind our friend Gargoyle of what a wonderful car he's letting go. And also; purchased in '03 for $4825/ then wrecked/ then asking $4500 with the ultimatum of crushing if it doesn't sell? WTF? Shame on you...

Re: Lucky Me !!!!!!
I don't want to get in the middle of anything but, why don't you trade in the mazda? I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to replace one of those. I have a feeling that morsel they dangle in front of you may cause some regret later down the road. We are all feeling the effects of our economic situation so it's hard to pass up buying these SVXs heading to the crusher. I hope your effort to sell it here goes well.

Re: Lucky Me !!!!!!
The MAZDA was my first thought but it does not qualify
Car must get an average City/Highway MPG of 18 mpg or less & have been registered & insured for the last 12 months.. also I would have to buy a truck instead of a car as My girlfriend & I each have our own house & you have to have a truck if you even if mostly the bank own a home. I truly hope I find a home for her thats why I posted in the NW section & am willing to take a loss

Re: Lucky Me !!!!!!
Sorry about the whole eThug thing. I wasn't looking for a fight either, and I do wish you luck on your sale. I'm just fed up with the bad math going on with CARS right now. It looks like you've got a very nice, low mile SVX, and I hope somebody does step up to save it from the crusher. I'd take it myself if it was closer.
