Re: Subaru SVX Modern Classic

Hi Matt,
I was very surprised when I read that. Don't know if I mentioned a guy in the UK told me they were dropping in value there for a couple of years and now there are so few the prices have started to climb back up again. He mention second price has doubled in the last 2 years so maybe it will be the same here as well.

Did you see that artical in the Subaru mag with yoru old car in it?

Tony

Re: Subaru SVX Modern Classic

Very nice.....!



It's good to see more and more articles (all across the world) describing the SVX as a "modern classic" or "future collectible".

I wonder if this article was actually printed in The Australian, or was it an online-only article?

Jason.

Re: Subaru SVX Modern Classic

supply & demand Carl.

The Aussies didn't get used Jap imports so per head of population there's probably one tenth the supply of cars compared to NZ.

Very true - and that is probably the single reason why used car values in Australia are so high when compared with other countries....!!!!!

Re: Subaru SVX Modern Classic

I thought that Australia was supporting it's own car industry by stopping imports - unlike we did in NZ in the 1990s, hence NZ car industry is now all gone - we only rely on imports!!!.

It will be interesting to see what Australians are able in import in 2-3 years time when Ford/GM/Mitsubishi local builds will be gone for good in Australia - time to check out what imports are available from Japan, I know a couple of guys in Australia who came to NZ to buy imports via NZ.

With GM/Ford gone I wonder how the USA car market will react ?

Re: Subaru SVX Modern Classic
