Considering...
Hola,
Well after about 7 months with the SVX I will admit it's the best car I've driven so far. List being, crappy Toyota Corolla... crappy Mercury Tracer... an Acura TL and of course my fav Subaru SVX. I bought the car @ 80k and now is turning a few hundred over 100k. In 7 months I've put in 20k =D .. I paid 8000 for it and about 2 months into it, i had to replace the timing belt & Power steering stuff. (i am not really car educated :P ) After that, I have put in a $450 Pioneer dash and a $1300 rims + tire.. Konig and Continnental. Sadly, I just am coming to realization that I just cannot afford to maintain this car. Everything costs too much to fix/replace. It's a 1996 LSi + rims/tires + dash... I don't know how much to ask for if I was to sell it. I am only considering it for now, because I just love this car too much. Just wondering, bouncing ideas.. =] |

just an addition, the car runs perfect.. no problems with it at all. Transmission/brakes etc. are all fine.
ps. it also has them silverstars for high+low beams. |

Re: Considering...
Starshot, what I don't get is how everything you've listed adds up to 20K? How much did the timing belt and power steering replacemnt cost? I can't see it running more than $1,500 even at the most pricey dealership? I estimate your total costs being in the 12-13K range...
