GEEZUS! eBay 97 ebony for 11k!
This thing has 150k miles and it's priced at a "bargain" at ELEVEN-THOUSAND DOLLARS!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Subar...#ht_500wt_1182 Direct quote from the auction: "The paint is chipped and scraped up in several areas, including rock marks on the hood and paint scrapes on the rear bumper and driver door. The sunroof catches and there is a trick to closing it. The rims are worn. The leather on the front seats is worn and the passenger seat leather was changed but doesn't match exactly. Most of the exhaust system was replaced with genuine Subaru parts in 2010. The Subaru dealer recommends that the transfer clutches be replaced" ...Wow.

Re: GEEZUS! eBay 97 ebony for 11k!
Theres even a bid at $4,500. How much is a car in that condition worth. I would think you could get a nicer one for less. No offense meant if it is anyone here who has bid on it.

Re: GEEZUS! eBay 97 ebony for 11k!
I was thinking the same thing. LetItSnow was having minor issues selling his amazing 92 pearly for around 2k and this thing with less mods and higher milage is going for much more? Wtf?

Yes, there is no question that the ebay seller does have one foot in dreamland as far as the BIN price But his opening price is OK. The car seems to be in nice shape. He's feeling it out, this is the second or third time he has listed it. The SVX is fading from the "used car" market and moving over to a collector's car. Now, what a "collector" will pay for an SVX is what a collector will pay... we can't apply any reason or "market" to it... example: $218,000 VW 23 Wilndow |

Collector you say? I like the sound of that very much.

When it comes to price, it is only worth what someone will pay for it. Whether they think it is the last one on earth, or a dime a dozen.

Re: GEEZUS! eBay 97 ebony for 11k!
I had a bus like that, only without the little windows in the roof. I froze in the winter, boiled in the summer, got blown all over the road by every errant breeze, and never went above 45MPH.
It was a POS. For me, that price is absolute proof that Barrett-Jackson bidders have lost all touch with reality and now live in a self-created, self-supporting price bubble. Good luck to them.

It makes no sense that $100,000 gets a 1967 mass produced piece of Detroit iron right after a 1975 Ferrari Boxer went for the same amount. These guys are buying cars that wowed them back in the day. It makes no sense... jut as it makes no sense for anyone on these boards to fawn over SVX's day and night... it's what we like... and that's what the other guy likes, it's a passion and hobby. And it's what I love about car guys. |
