Other Local SVX's

Ok, so I in the market for a used suburu around $1500 to $3000. I came across a couple SVX's on Craigslist & was wondering if anyone around here has driven them:

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/1086988334.html
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/ctd/1084355584.html (Yeah I know they have the model year wrong...)
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/1086271758.html

Also, I know of a 94 L with a failing rear wheel bearing for $2000. What is the approx. local price for fixing the rear wheel bearing.

Thanks
Harold

Re: Other Local SVX's

Dont think they belong to anyone here.
The first one is obviously a Used Car dealership. I have mixed feelings about those.
The 2nd one has been for sale for quite a while. I would consider taking a look at it and see if he would drop the price to $3K.
The 3rd one.....cant tell much by that pic. Except that it looks bad.
Might look better in person.
Try contacting Smart Service for a estimate on the rear bearings.

Re: Other Local SVX's

I haven't gotten a response from either of the ones for sale privately & I too am leary of a used car place-especially if they raised the price on it almost $1000 in under a week....when it was listed for $2600 for the past 3 weeks.

I am going to check out the 1994 L today when I am up north for a meeting.

Bearings, at Smart Service, would cost around $500 if anyone is interested locally.
Thanks

Is this for 2 wheels? I got both of my rears replaced there at seperate times, about 6 and 7 years ago respectively. Each time the bill was under $200, complete.

I hope the price hasn't more than doubled in 6 years.

Congrats on getting back into the SVX game though! This isn't by chance one that you already owned is it?
