Just bought my first SVX!

.



Hi everyone, glad to be here! I just bought my first SVX recently. It's a 1994 Emerald Green LSi. I'm sure I'll have quite a few questions being that it is also my first car!

Re: Just bought my first SVX!

Welcome, and I hope you're still enthusiastic about this car in another year...

There's no way I would've bought something like an SVX as my first car. Honda or Toyota maybe, but an SVX, nope. You're going to find certain parts are within the realm of "unobtainium", so be prepared.

Definitely a unique car, no doubt about that, and good luck!

Have fun!
That's a beautiful colour. In April I sold my '92 Ebony to a young guy as his first car and he is still loving it with no problems at all.

Re: Just bought my first SVX!

Thanks everyone! I'm going to take very good care of it. I have classic plates on it, and I'm storing it in the winter. I do have other cars to drive when I don't want to take it out.

Re: Just bought my first SVX!

Beautiful. Just don't beat on it
It is not a WRX
KEEP IT MAINTAINED.
If you only drive it 3,000 miles a year it will last a long time. If you plan on driving it 10,000 a year sell it now before something breaks.
Agree not a greatest 1st car
And your wheel are all screwed up.
How many miles on her?

Yes, as far as the wheels go, the rear wheels are backwards.
