1992 Subaru Svx Ls Coupe 2-door 3.3l Eg33 Awd Runs & Drives - Nj Inspected. on 2040-cars
Manville, New Jersey, United States
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:http://www.svx-iw.com/ and http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/ 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!
One more shot of that awesome EG33 engine!
*** This car must be paid for and preferably picked up before November 2nd. I will be moving out of the area but the car may be able to be picked up until the 8th. Please understand that I cannot negotiate on those terms. The car must be paid for in full prior to November 2nd, and the car must be moved by the 8th. *** I reserve the right to end the auction if the vehicle sells locally. The reserve price is extremely low. |

Subaru recalls 81,000 Impreza models for airbag replacement
Sun, May 31 2015Subaru has submitted paperwork to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding an Impreza recall to replace faulty Takata airbag inflators, and the final tally is 81,100 units built between January 28, 2003 and May 31, 2005. Earlier this month Subaru had projected 78,000 Imprezas would be recalled from the 2004 and 2005 model years, but that final number also includes the Saab 9-2x; that Saab model, nicknamed the "Saabaru," was a badge-engineered Impreza Wagon that General Motors began selling in 2004. Affected Saab models were built from February 11, 2004 to March 17, 2005. This recall specifically affects passenger-side inflators, and Subaru and GM will notify owners that they can take their cars to the dealer for a free repair. The recall doesn't officially begin, however, until July 17, 2015. The notice from the NHTSA below has more information. Related Video: Report Receipt Date: MAY 28, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V323000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 81,100 Manufacturer: Subaru of America, Inc.SUMMARY: Subaru of America, Inc.

The affected vehicles are equipped with a passenger side frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture upon its deployment.CONSEQUENCE: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.REMEDY: Subaru will notify their owners and General Motors will notify Saab owners. Dealers will replace the passenger air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 27, 2015. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-800-782-2783. Owners of Saab vehicles may call 1-800-955-9007. Subaru's number for this recall is WQR-53. Note: This recall partially supersedes recall 14V-763 in that model year 2004 through 2005 Subaru Impreza and model year 2005 Saab 9-2x vehicles are now only part of this campaign.NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Racey Subaru BRZ spied on New York Auto Show floor [UPDATE]
Wed, Apr 1 2015UPDATE: Subaru had the same BRZ out on the show stand this morning, so we added a full gallery. Turns out the car is called Subaru STI Performance Concept... full info available later this afternoon. Subaru is doing something very interesting with the BRZ at the New York Auto Show. Unfortunately, actual details about it are nonexistent at this point, but a user with the screenname The359 posted these two photos from the floor of the event on the FT86 Club forums, by way of an Instagram page. This BRZ appears to get a pretty thorough makeover with big, L-shaped LED running lights on the edges of the more aggressive front air dam, widened fenders and a rather nicely integrated hood bulge, which suggests the possibility of a more powerful engine underneath. The profile photo provides an even better look at the body kit, and it's practically impossible to miss the massive wing at the back that should keep the coupe sticking to the ground. In all, it bears a striking resemblance to the Subaru BRZ Concept STI that was shown at Los Angeles way back in 2011. It's not currently clear whether this is just a high performance concept to tease us, or the more powerful BRZ that many people are looking for. Regardless, the car definitely piques our interest.

Subaru recalls 200k vehicles in snowy states to reapply anti-corrosion wax
Thu, Jan 8 2015This past summer, Subaru issued a recall for some 660,000 of its vehicles over a problem stemming from salt from the road corroding brake lines. It was the second such recall the company had issued, and now it's issuing another. Under this latest recall, Subaru is bringing in 198,900 vehicles that were already covered under the previous recall to fix the same issue. This time around, the notice is issued for the 2008-11 Impreza, 2008-14 WRX and STI, and the 2009-13 Forester – specifically those registered (currently or formerly) in 20 states that use salt on their roads: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin, plus the District of Columbia. The remedy is the same as last time, coming down to applying a special anti-corrosion wax to prevent corrosion, but needs to be carried out again due to "incomplete repair instructions provided to dealers" last time around, according to the statement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. RECALL Subject : Brake Line Corrosion at Four-Way Connector Report Receipt Date: DEC 31, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V830000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 198,900 Manufacturer: Subaru of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Impreza, 2008-2014 WRX and STI, and 2009-2013 Forester vehicles, currently, or formerly, registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia that were remedied under recall 14V-311 prior to December 23, 2014. The brake lines may experience brake line corrosion due to salt water splashing on the brake lines through a gap in the fuel tank protector. CONSEQUENCE: Brake fluid may leak due to the brake line corrosion and may result in longer distances being required to slow or stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will apply an anti-corrosion wax to the four-way joint connector area of the brake line system, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 26, 2015. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-800-782-2783.
