It's back on ebay again

It's back on ebay again. This time I made sure that unless the higest bidder dies -- and has to be proven with a death certificate, he/she has to take the svx. I also made clear that people should not bid unless they are serious. Wish me luck guys

I hate to let this one go but I wll be picking up another one soon. And we should get a meet soon. I am getting withdrawal symptoms from not seeing more than 2 svxes at the same time. I do see 2 in the same parking lot on daily basis since there is another guy that owns a 92 in my complex.

if the rx8 is anything like the rx7, look out! a screamer for sure. the rotary is a gas, no weight left the rx7 with an almost perfect front to rear weight distribution. now, if it only had all wheel drive.........

Yes. That is true. What is also true is I am sick of fixing this car. Of the 10 months that I owned the car, the car was in the shop for over 3 months. I guess 70% usage is not too bad. The bottom line is that although I have fixed pretty much everything major, I just don't want to see the car in the shop EVER again for anything major in the next couple of months. Knowing my luck, I could drive it for a mile and I might just have to call a towing truck -- not that it is needed but 1800-TOWTRUCK is programmed in my cell phone now.


I just want a break and I don't want any other car apart from SVXes right now.

it (the rx8) needs forced induction! .....been looking around for a compliment to my 7 and found a car that reminded me in many ways to it......the quirky- nobody knows what it is way...didnt sell many in either case........but....i have no idea why!

plus it can sorta hold 4 people....and awd for the snow/ice stuff...

surely looks interesting

sorry to say to you all but I am currently looking at 3 series BMWs now. After finding difficulties in selling the car, I am even thinking of stripping the SVX and selling it for parts and getting me a 3 series BMW. I hate to do this but I might just have to change a bit. Convince me otherwise.

My friend has had his 3 series for about 2 years now, and he hasnt had to put a dime into it. VERY RELIABLE car. handles amazingly, performs very well, and with snow tires it does amazingly well in the winter.

One of my other cars is a 325. Has 211,000 mi and no troubles the four years I've owned it. Mobile1 and constant driving has been the key. No squeaks or rattles. But it sure is boring compared to the SVX!
