Re: Couple Questions on Buying an SVX!
That is where we can help out. In most cases, there is someone around that can help out the new guy to find out if it is in good shape or not. I have had members accross the country check on a car for me so I would know what shape it is in.

With 19 SVX's, I'm sure you've bought them from ALL OVER hahaha, I'm so jealous I am particularly interested in the JDM Right Hand Drive model though! I didn't know they made them over there Are there any other differences besides the obvious Right Hand Drive? |

Re: Couple Questions on Buying an SVX!
Yes, there are differences in them besides the right-hand drive. Is there a reason you want to go to WyoTech for their automotive technician program? There are some much better, cheaper and closer to home than that one. Just curious about it.
That is the reason the meets are so good. You get to see others cars and what they have done to them, or what problems they have had and how they have fixed them. We have maintenance meets which allow members to get some stuff done on their cars for almost nothing and fix some of the esay stuff. I hope to see you at one of the meets in the future.

Re: Couple Questions on Buying an SVX!
Yay, another young'n that can be saved from "ricing out" some poor SVX.
It's good you came to this site, there are a lot of knowledgeable people here who are willing to help instead of just flaming you like a lot of other sites. Just be patient looking for one and be even more patient if (when ) it breaks. They really are great cars. And funny enough, I'm starting at wyotech's blairsville campus at the end of next month |

Re: Couple Questions on Buying an SVX!
Just a quick bit, if your mechanicly inclined and like to learn some svx's with problems can be had for alot less than well,... alot. My first of two was 700 clams, had just had 3400$ worth of front end body work and paint, 298$ alternator repair, I drove it 35 miles home replaced 2 knock sensors and an air filter, Kand N was messing with the MAF, been driving around trouble free since, yee ha!! Bought the second as a parts car for 650 clams, ended up doing a 4.44 swap to it and drivng around ever since, yee ha. So there are options for the SVX owner who is a wrench turner. I can't imagine not owning at least one! Cheers and good luck........G

Re: Couple Questions on Buying an SVX!
+1 for starting off with an already good one. You can still find them, but it might take some waiting/watching. Took me 2 months to find mine last summer. I'm not the most mechanically inclined, so I wouldn't have even been able to fix one up, but I have been able to take care of most of my car's problems as they crop up. Plus I need to be able to rely on my car for work/school. Good luck and have faith. And don't be afraid of having one shipped from super far away as long as you can get someone in the know to check it out for you.
Here's one in tampa I'd jump on if I were in the market: http://tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/ctd/1738393872.html I might be able to take a look at it for you if you're interested. Most likely needs a transmission soon though, but southern cars are good about rust.

Re: Couple Questions on Buying an SVX!
That one is an LS trim one, vs the more common LS-L ones. The LS seats have the same micro-suede stuff like the rest of the interior, whereas the LS-L ones are leather. The LS-L also has speed-sensitive power steering, and something else I can't remember. Other than that, they're basically the same. Honestly, I'd kind of like the seats out of an LS, seeing as how they're more rare, but I can't imagine it's easy to keep them clean.

Re: Couple Questions on Buying an SVX!
Those seats are stock. Just to an LS. If you want a sunroof, don't get an LS.
