Another SVX horror story on ebay

Another example of extremely bad taste applied to a good design on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Subar...12182524QQrdZ1

He refers to it as a "show car", but check out that engine compartment. Gotta love the audio setup in the trunk. Think the trunklid speakers firing directly into the subs give you great clarity and separation?

Neon in the center grille... lotsa crazy stuff. How much would YOU pay for a blue job like this? Its in Melrose, Minnesota and 12 people seem to want it

Should we email the winning bidder an invitation to join the network?

Yes folks, what we have here is a completely riced out svx.
Send in the hit squad, Larry. We must stop this guy before he kills again.

You'd think someone with that much time on their hands would also have time to properly secure the battery and change the brake fluid.

P&P engine on stock ECU... Hella HP gains! This is another reason I think Car buyers should have to fill out an application before purchasing to make sure the car will be well taken car of, like at the humain society.

Wonder how many more threads there will be for this car? We are up to 2 so far.

With the hood closed this would be an import show car.

What's up with the driver's seat? It's all shrivelled up!

It has crappy seat clovers over the stock seats. The only reason they passenger side doesnt look equally bad is noone will ride in it with him.

Not only did it not meet its reserve, it also didn't make it to the finals of "Death Race 2000", no pointy front to spear the competition...

And they just keep on comin'...

Here is another one that just showed up on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Subar...20410150QQrdZ1

But this one is a little more tasteful, if you like metallic orange with a gray interior. Shaved door handles are cool though. auto/tiptronic AWD

I guess some people can get really bored in Canada: rolleyes:


Mint shape, stored every winter. auto/tiptronic AWD. 240HP. Grey leather/suede int. carbon fibre aftermarket dash, upgraded stereo with IPOD HOOKUP!! or other MP3 or portable music device. 2 8" subs, Clarion deck, 2 ohm nominal 6x9 Soundstream speakers in the rear running off different amp from the subs. Alpine 6 1/2" speakers up front in the doors with tweeters mounted in the dash. Aftermarket front grille. Aftermarket front lip spoiler not shown in pics or installed but is included. 239,000kms mostly hwy, runs like new. very well maint. only seen mobile one every 5000kms.

Interior is clean as possible, no stains or tears. wont see a nicer SVX. Paint is wet sanded and is like glass! No stone chips! Alarm with keyless heavyduty 50lb. poppers on both doors and trunk. doors are clean shaved with no exterior handles. Most upgrades can be removed before the car is sold. Guelph is approx. an hour west of Toronto.
