1992 Subaru SVX LS-L in Florida

Scott · #1 10-16-2007, 04:02 PM

State SVX is in: Florida

Year: 1992

Model: SVX LS-L

Color: Pearl White/Black 2-tone

Miles: 95,000 (give or take 1,000 miles)

Location: East Central Florida. Rockledge to be precise.

Options: Leather, CD, moonroof, not sure what else is considered optional.

AWD or FWD: AWD

Modifications: Stock.

Major service: Recently replaced Fuel pump and fuel filter.

Maintenance Records: Some records from previous owner present.

Transmission condition: Transmission shifts smooth and doesn't seem to overheat.

Glass condition: All glass intact and untinted.

Type of tire and remaining tread: Fuzion ZRi. I'd guess about 40-50% of tread. One tire has a slow leak.

Interior condition: Interior not perfect. Leather has some cracks and rips and the carpeting is dirty. Dash is in good shape.

Body condition: Body itself is nice. It needs paint in several places though. Some small dents and dings in the hood and bumpers. Pearl still looks pretty.

Known defects or problems: The resonator is making noise, and the suspension is noisy. The power window switches on the driver's side are loose, but work fine. The clock inside works sporadically, at best. It needs a paintjob and a good overall cleaning.

Comments about the car: Bought the car off eBay in April of this year, and it was my daily driver for most of that time. It had some issues (turned out to be a dead fuel pump). Pump was replaced, filter was replaced, and the lines were all re-tightened. Runs fine now.

Asking price: $3250 Or best offer. I'm also willing to trade for a car that is small, lightweight, has a decent aftermarket, and would make a decent road course car.

Well, after going back and forth on keeping it, I've decided to part ways with my SVX. Test drives are welcome and definitely encouraged. I even gladly welcome any prospective buyer having a mechanic take a look at it.

Price is negotiable.

that sucks, you went through all that trouble to get it going again

but good luck on the sell.

Sorry to hear you are selling after all of your trouble. Good Luck.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Yeah, it's going to be kind of tough for me to sell it after everything. But I'm finally in a position to build and race a dedicated track car, and the SVX simply lacks the aftermarket to support my long-term goals. I bought it because I wanted a fun daily driver, and now that I have the Land Rover, I don't want two everyday cars filling my driveway.

The SVX is not an everyday car though :P

I'm about 3-4 hours from Miami...depending on traffic and where in the city you're talking about.

bwb3 is correct. I'm located near Cocoa Beach and the Space Center. About 45 minutes away from Orlando.

Needs some body work, and a few other odds and ends.

A Mustang wasn't my first choice in project cars, but I didn't do this just for myself. My dad turned 60 last year, and has always put up with me using his garage to work on my loud import cars. He has always wanted to help, but couldn't because of his admitted lack of knowledge in modern automobiles. He grew up modifying old Fords and Mercuries, and got married and gave up his sports cars before the "revolution" of EFI and ECU's.

So when this opportunity arose, I was thrilled that I would have the chance to own a car that my dad could work on alongside me. It'll be a great bonding experience for the two of us. And any doubts I had about the trade were washed away when I pulled up to his office yesterday afternoon with this "little surprise". The look on his face was priceless, and I immediately knew I made the right decision. He even said that when I rolled up in this '66, it immediately reminded him of when he was my age and bought his first brand new car, a '70 Boss 302.
