I'd rather ogle over a pristine 1987 300ZX than a classic '64 Mustang.

I'm not into american cars that much myself. I just have this lover affair with a vintage cav

i not only thought of selling my car.....

i was at the dealership about to trade it for a 2001 eclipse GT. this was before my suspension mods, wheels, everything. i had a noise after the replaced my transmission that they could not find. i was so frustrated that i almost gave up.

the only problem with this car is you cant find anyone to work on it. you almost have to become somewhat of a mechanic yourself.

anyway i finally found out was wrong and the love affair resumed.

the only thing that will make me sell my svx is if i am spending more on it then it would cost me for a new car. you figure the average car note is around $300-400. that means if i spend less than $4800 a year on the car i will keep it. of course if something electrical goes wrong she is gone because i am not dealing with that mess.

i really do love everything about the car. even after three years of owning this car i am still struck by the lines and the styling. just a muscular well designed car. especially now that mine is lowered i love the low slung scowling hood. plus the car begs to be driven fast. ahhhhhh.......automotive paradise!!!!

randy thanks for the hug....you know.....sometimes.....(fighting back tears).....we all.....need to feel loved.

with a car like the cavalier it is all about what you have done to the car because in stock form it is a plain jane. (no offense i hope green).

this car and its owners recognize that we have a one of kind. there will never be a car made again that has the windows, comfort, the sportiness, and the overall style the SVX has. it is an instant classic and we all know it, respect it, and cherish it.

What a great group of people.

I have to agree with all of you. This is a wonderful site w/wonderful people who love their cars to death.
No competition here.
I have to admit though that I've been sporting the idea of a new BMW these past 2 months and I'm about to go test drive one today, but after reading these posts I'm having second thoughts.
There are so many things wrong w/my car and I hate having it in the shop all the time.
So I figured get a new bmw and trade the svx in.
But, once again, YOU svxers saved the day.
Thanks guys...
this doesn't mean that I'm not testdriving this weekend.

Kathy

why not sell your current svx.

then go find one in really great condition. maybe a 96 or 97? i will admit that i love bmw too. i like the m series roadster, the one that kind of looks like a stationwagon a little. if you know bmw's then you know the car i am talking about. dual exhaust real agressive looking car. bmw does a good job. i know the frustration of having a car with tons of problems, kind of takes the fun out of the experience. good luck.

I'm not real fond of it. I dig BMW's styling most of the time, but that hatchback just doesn't look like it belongs there to me.

I'll take an 850, though.

Is it just me, or have we been able to get by without an out and out flame war since . . . well, for a long time.

(kick, kick, damned dead dog! )
