I'm in! (delighted new owner)
I just finished the purchase last night: 1996 LSi AWD, burgundy pearl with only 75,000 miles on her. She's in great shape inside and out, except for some "freckles" on the spoiler.
My wife had been rolling her eyes as I worked through the purchase, including arranging for the seller to take care of replacing a wheel bearing and putting on a new set of tires. But after I took her (my wife, that is) for a ride last night, all that changed. Quoth she: "You're going to have to take me on a date in this thing!"

Welcome aboard, Jonathan! Gald to hear we have another "delighted" member.
 Be careful, though. I know from first hand experience that once your wife drives the SVX, it'll be difficult to get it back.

I'll just echo what Darksied has said. The first time I let my wife drive my SVX was on the way to "Reading I." We were on the PA Turnpike. She had just previously given me grief for going 85 mph most of the way on the drive. I was dozing in the passenger's seat. Suddenly, there was a fierce application of power and it jarred me awake. My wife was overtaking an 18-wheeler. I sat up a bit, looked over at the speedometer, it read 90 mph. She noticed that I was smirking at her speed. She just kept looking straight ahead, smiled and said, "I like the way this car passes trucks." She's been smitten ever since.  Congrats Jonathan, and may you have many happy miles.

Welcome to the site. I will echo what everyone else said. I don't think one would describe me as delighted though.

Watch Out!!!
Better be careful--the car is contagious. Very hard to buy ONLY one.
