Picked up a Subaru SVX for $600
I am scheduled to go and pick her up tomorrow. She is a 92 and reverse is starting to slip but is very clean. She was origionaly a California but now resides in Utah.
When I pick up the car I will post more pics.

should be the same tranny as most subarus from the same time span.. its an afternoon job to replace.crzyone wrote:I've only seen 2 before, but they both caught my eye. Cool cars but it sounds like the trani could be a problem. Good price.
th thing i never liked about them was the windows.. how are you supposed to crawl out an open window if you roll it?
Friend had one. Whisper quiet, a great ride.
Not particularly fast, and the automatic they all came with (why, oh God, WHY?) is a dog.
Manual transmission swaps HAVE been done (iirc), but are tricky.
I'd love one myself... Probably wouldn't bother doing a whole lot to it, though.

The SVXs were a pretty cool car for their time and one of the cars that got me interetsted in Subarus. My current Subaru is a Legacy GT.
I got this one after my WRX lease expired. I wanted a car that didn't attract too much attention to itself, unlike the WRX, were every pimply faced kid with a fart can in his car wanted to race me. The Legacy is pretty plain looking but goes like stink when it is needed. It also is my 5th Subaru.

I treat others as they treat me
Here are some more pics. The car is very torquey and gets up and goes for a car with a slipping tranny. Reverse does not even work but the guy I bought the car form knows where one is that might have a good tranny.
The interior is all leather with a suede dash and door panles
Here is the only body damage the car has

Re: Picked up a Subaru SVX for $600
No i dont have one but i have wanted one for a long time nice find dude. If your looking to go to a manual swap i have been told it can be done with a WRX transmission and a few other mods. Only problem i was told about them besides for transmission problems is parts are VERY expensive and very hard to come by. Correct me if im wrong but im 99% sure the engine in that is the same engine that is in the B9 tribea
