SVX Prices in Canada
It’s been my experience that the SVX commands a substantially higher price in Canada than it does in the States. I think it's cheaper to buy from the States - even after paying currency exchange, duty, GST, PST and (depending on location) freight, Registrar of Imported Vehicles fee, cost of modification and Federal and Provincial inspection fees. What's more, there's not many for sale in Canada.
When I bought my first SVX (from Texas) I found the processes for importing and getting the car registered and licensed in Canada to be quite intimidating but then I found the site riv.ca. It’s very helpful. My second SVX (from Salt Lake City) was much easier because I was familiar with the process. So if you’re thinking about importing an SVX into Canada, take a look at the site. If you get stuck, PM me and I’ll see if I can help. |

I agree. I brought mine up from Cali. That RIV web site made it easier. The prices of most cars are cheaper down US side.

Finally a good price in Canada. I just picked up a 92 svx in decent shape for $2,000. Has a fresh rebuilt tranny, (the seller owns a tranny shop and got the car cheap - had a bad tranny- ironic isn't it?) good windshield, solid body and decent interior. Little high on the mileage 270km's but as everyone knows I am after the tranny. There may be a fresh supply of used Canadian Parts soon. Stay posted.

You aren't going to part it are you? You may want to keep that one and sell the other one to someone wanting a good 5 spd project.

What is wrong with it? (other than the soon-to-be lack of tranny)

I thought these Zinc'd bodies do not rust? Well I guess you guys do have the harsher climates. You guys saw my post about the Japan Import coming to Van next Tuesday for $7K ? Only 64K on the clock. I guess that 12K one that is standard is like this 7K one + 5K for the Tranny job.
