I'm coming back....Hopefully
It's been long over due for a post here. As some of you know, I was the owner of two SVX'n some years ago, and due to recent explosions in my Mazdaspeed Protege's engine compartment, I am looking to return to the SVX world for my DD and commuter car.
The only problem is that the market is dry here in Idaho, so if anyone has an SVX they are in the know of, I have cash, and I want it soon.

Little too steep on the price there. Trust me, I want it, just don't have that kind of cash. Thinking more in the price range of $4000 or less.

Good luck! My 3 are enough for me right now. That would be the only one that I would consider parting with and would probably regret losing it. If I come across one that might work for you I will PM you. Keith |

Re: I'm coming back....Hopefully
Would the civic slayer be interested in a 5mt?

Would probably be good to take a look at the posts from any member that has a "for sale" for starters. Since you were a previous owner, but a while back, Seeping-leaking head gaskets are becoming more and more prevalent... mostly not just because of age. Many with very high mileage didn't have that problem several years back. If you run across one with a cracked windshield, the cost of replacement will blow your mind. Many people on this form here resorted to Velcro to keep the sun visors from drooping! Keith, If you pay a bit more, you should find one that you wouldn't spend a year trying to make a bad one so-so. One thing I highly recommend... If you find one and it doesn't have HID lights on it, a few bucks to get HID lo-beams will put you in a different world. Good luck and have a great new year!! Keith |

Too bad you're so far away. After the new tranny goes in, mine will be on the market again.

Re: I'm coming back....Hopefully
5mt would be sweet, good to still see you rumbling around here Ken. I'm fully aware of all the little quirks that these cars are known for, that is what makes them awesome.

Re: I'm coming back....Hopefully
Well, I just bought #3 today. Not to happy about a couple of things with the new one, namely the color, the wheels or the miles. Someone had the bright idea of giving a kid with down syndrome a color map, and he poined to a darker shade of Robin's egg blue. They put horrible vinyl graphics on it. The wheels aren't terrible, but definitely don't do the car justice. I couldn't just let this car go to ****, so I figured I would save it, repaint it back to a factory color, put better wheels on it, exhaust and call it good.
Thinking either Claret, Pearl White, or Laguna Blue. Anywho, enough babble, pics to come tomorrow. Interior is IMMACULATE!

Re: I'm coming back....Hopefully
Whelp, in just 3 short days, she has come a long way. Here is a before pic, hideous I know. This is why mentally challenged people need to stay away from perfectly good cars.
Pulled the graphics yesterday, cleaned the headlights and grille, put the wheels from my now exploded Mazdaspeed Protege on it with some brand new rubber, and tinted the tail lights. Still not a fan of the color, but it will have to do til I get money saved up to repaint it a stock color. As she was when I got her. To now....

Re: I'm coming back....Hopefully
Much better without the graphics. The color is a bit feminine but otherwise not horrible. I think it is lookin' good.
