I purchased this 1992 Subaru SVX for myself as a secondary driver/project car and shortly after taking it home, found out I am moving to California. Unfortunately, this meant that I couldn't take multiple cars with me so now I'm offering this SVX for bidding. I've included a significant amount of pictures to try and document the vehicle to the best of my ability, but please understand that this is a 21-year old car with high mileage and that it will require some work in the near future. Chances are that you may be familiar with the SVX if you are looking at this auction, so I'll save you the long drawn out explanation of why these cars are so special, and instead provide you with this link:

In the past, when listing my personal cars on eBay, I've gone into logn diatribes about how much I'm going to miss this car and 'blah blah blah', but this time, I'm really regretful that I'll have to sell this SVX. This Liquid Silver 1992 model is my thirteenth SVX, and since riding in a SVX for the first time ten years ago, my interest in these cars has grown tremendously. It pains me to give up a car because I could not dedicate the time and resources to ship, care for and restore this car, much like I did with my last SVX over a period of six years. Enough sappy stuff though, and onto the important info!

Running Condition:

This SVX just passed NJ inspection last week. Now, don't go getting all exciting thinking that this car is fit for your grueling reverse commute of 50 miles, or a cross country fall colors tour! A sub-$1000 car will need its fair share of attention. NJ inspects for emissions along, because things like sketchy tires and an Airbag warning light just don't seem to be all that important to folks here in the Garden State. NJ passed this SVX for emissions despite the loudness of the exhaust that can best be described as 'mild drone'. I imagine that the exhaust should be one of the items addressed by the new owner, as a quick visual inspection pointed me to some areas of rust and concern around the front and mid pipe junctions. Don't be deterred, though. This SVX does start right up, and still gets up and goes on the highway like it should. I registered the car and put a couple hundred miles on it to diagnose and get an idea of what I'd have to put into it.

The H-6 sounds good; no knocks or taps that I've experienced. The car does idle a bit high once in awhile, and the Check Engine light is intermittently on and off, which is likely related. The airbag warning light is on, and I have not checked into this further. The car shifts properly, and there are no signs of binding or other common SVX transmission issues, which leads me to suspect that the unit has been rebuilt or replaced at some point. The suspension doesn't have any major knocks or clunks, but the struts are worn so the ride is a bit mushy. The brakes work well, and the ABS is functioning. No warping or squeaks that I noticed. The previous owner mentioned replacing the radiator, timing belt, battery, and alternator recently. Its evident that at least three of those have been addressed, so I assume that the timing belt has been done at some point in the past year. The car had been sitting for at least a few months prior to my ownership, so expect to go over it before putting it in regular service. Drive it away if you want, but expect the car to need some issues addressed before counting on its reliability.

Exterior Condition:

The paint on this SVX would benefit from a good compounding and wax, but I'd say the exterior is in Average to Good condition, especially considering the age and mileage of this car. The Liquid Silver/Black paint scheme looks good overall. There are two rust spots forming on the car, behind each of the rear wheels. The alloy wheels are chipping, but there are spare wheels included if you'd like to swap them out. The General Altimax Winter/Snow tires are in fair condition and should be replaced soon. All of the glass on this car is in good shape and free of cracks or damage.

Interior Condition:

There are no signs that this SVX was smoked in as the interior smells ok, and the carpets, seats and headliner are in good shape. There are two sets of mats in the car and the carpet looks good. Dash instruments are working and the factory AM FM tape player functions properly. Power options are all working correctly including, lights washers, defrosters, windows, cruise, etc. The driver seat is a bit worn and torn on the bolster from a previous owner getting in and out of the car. The driver sun visor is broken off and not present, but the passenger one looks fine and isn't really sagging. 

Please take the time to look at all of the photos of the car.

Included with the car are some spare wheels, an updated grille from a 1997 model, and the factory cup holder insert!
