2/3 shift flare?

What's wrong with the awd? I'm unfamiliar with these cars, so is the Legacy Auto tranny an upgrade or just a substitute?

Find out the scope of the accident. The SVX frame is so rigid a rear end collision is probably nothing to worry about, even with a salvage title. Even so, it's worth talking down the price.

2/3 shift flare, it's slow to engage while shifting between 2nd gear and 3rd gear sometimes

the AWD clutches burn up and fail to work, it basically will need a new transmission in the future which is why the price is so insanely low

the legacy automatic transmission has shorter gearing, and is less expensive to replace/repair, also the shorter gearing puts less strain on the transmission which would lead to less failure

this transmission was broken when i put it into the car, and the junkyard reneged on their 'warranty' so i can't replace it other than that the car is in excelent condition

I'd recommend getting one with a replaced, warrantied tranny. I paid an extra 1200$ for a two year warranty that covers my 93 of everything, it's good piece of mind. Virtually ever 92 need(s) a new tranny, and to save 3 grand and lots of hassle I would buy one that has already been replaced. I would recommend anything under 140k miles, make sure they have service records and don't pay over 5 grand for a 92 unless it has low miles. Edit: Don't be a salvaged SVX, you're asking for trouble.
