Sold for $6100usd. The FWD thing might have kept the price down.
Still the buyer got a nice deal for a sub-100K mile car.

1992 SVX sold on BaT for $8400:

Always like seeing what different color schemes look like on the SVX.
Although I think I prefer it with the black top rather than one color for all.

I'm not quite sure why he changed the colour from Claret to Silver. It was in nice shape when he bought it in 2019. It went from $7200 to $8400 in 4 years with the colour change. It has quite high mileage too. Our cars are starting to see much higher prices finally.

Sadly I don't think he'll get a great price. BaT grenaded his auction by using 9 photos pre-detail for the listing. Small damage and stains, leaks etc. Also no mention of the factory service manuals. With this low mileage it should do much better than it will.

P.S. They have a nice Subaru 360 listed also.

The ware'n'tear on the first few pictures is inline with that of my similar mileage 1992. The stains on the sun-visors? I imagine the sun-visors have been replaced and the staining didn't happen on that vehicle (I'd guess they where in storage before being brought into service on this vehicle). Looks like the passenger side sun-visor has been modified to stop it drooping. There is a picture of the 1992 service manuals and a 1996 supplemental, I assume they are included.

I would be more concerned about the transmission (did 1996s have better transmissions?) and has the timing belt/water-pump been replaced. Also, is the seller replacing the CV boot or CV axle, and if they are replacing the CV axle are they replacing the one on the other side.

Still I get the feeling it won't break $10K, the market doesn't seem to supporting the prices we were seeing a year or two ago.

Surprised to see this auction with mediocre photos!

Hopefully this car will fetch a lot more before end of auction.

The 46K miles BaT SVX sold for $7,100.

Not a bad price either way. I'm sure the new owner will be happy with it, and it wasn't a complete steal for the seller.

I recently sold a car on BaT. I heard it took a long time to get from submission to listing, so I went through the initial submission process before I had my "glam shots". They require some pics though at the time of initial submission, so I popped some in from other times when I'd taken a pic or two, just to keep things moving. I added the "glam shots" later. I also had plenty of opportunity to edit those original pictures out before the auction went live. In other words the seller may have grenaded his own auction.

The market is definitely softening. I agree, that seems like a decent result in this case, all things considered.
