1994 Subaru SVX LSi AWD
Barcelona Red, Tan/Beige interior, 220,000 miles and counting
The car is located in Reno, NV. I'd be happy to go as far as Sacramento or so to meet up an deliver the car.

The car is in excellent condition, especially considering the mileage. I've done a ton of maintenance/restoration work (but no real "mods"), replacing all the stuff that tends to go out on these cars, and doing the 4.44 tranny swap from a legacy plus a tranny cooler that seems to fix the biggest issue with the SVX which is the constantly failing gearbox. The car rides well, pulls hard, and is probably one the nicest example of an SVX on the road today at any price. I've put about $8000 into the car over the last 4 years to get/keep it in such good condition. I *love* this car and really want it to go to an SVX enthusiast. I'm selling it in order to buy a new STi now that the prices on them have dropped to where I can afford one.

Work done since I bought it in Sept. 2004:

- 4.44 '96 Legacy transmission (freshly rebuilt with new transfer clutch & solenoids)
- 4.44 LSD rear-end
- Perma-Cool transmission cooler in the driver's side fender
- Remote transmission oil filter
- New OEM window switches, both driver and passenger doors
- New (remanufactured) brake calipers, rotors and pads on all 4 corners*
- New stainless steel brake lines on all 4 corners*
- Complete repaint in factory color
- '97 OEM front grill
- SmallCar clear headlight/corner marker lenses w/ StonGard
- Hella SuperTone horns mounted in the grill
- Alpine stereo/iPod interface/XM radio/subwoofer/amp
- DEI keyless entry/remote starter
- Beltronics remote radar detector (laser detector/jammer in the grill, radar receiver behind the bumper, display mounted on the instrument cluster)
- 400W power inverter in the trunk for 110AC power
- New OEM radiator
- New (remanufactured) alternator
- New (remanufactured) front axles
- New hood struts
- New O2 sensors
- New OEM MAF sensor
- New TPS stepdown resistor
- New OEM windshield
- New trunk floor over the spare tire*
- New Bosch battery*
- Added starter solenoid relay*
- 17x9"+45 Enkei RPF1's w/ 255-40-17 Falken ST115 tires (~20% tread left)
- OEM wheels w/ 225-55-16 Dunlop Wintersport M3 tires (~20% tread left)
(* Done in the last month)

Known issues with the car:

- It looks like the passenger side cam seals are leaking a little oil, so it's probably time to do the front seals on the motor, the timing belt, and perhaps the water/oil pumps while in there. (I'd be happy to take care of this work for a buyer if you pay for parts.)
- The exhaust's cats need replacing... they rattle and buzz a bit when cold from being loose in the pipe. But they still work well enough that the car passes NV smog w/o any issues (sniffer test for OBD-I cars). Doesn't seem to be causing any issues, it just sounds mildly annoying right after a cold start.
- I also thought I was having an issue with the new transmission not shunting power to the rear wheels, but I think the issue is actually just the added torque of the 4.44 final drive making it easier to spin the inside front tire than before and not a lack of power aft. I had it checked out by my mechanic buddy and he opened up the transfer clutch and verified that nothing is wrong.
- There's some minor wear on the driver's seat leather and the alcantera on the driver's arm rest. Plus a tear on the rear seat near the rear deck, and a tear by the hinge on the center console storage bin from the previous owner.
- The driver's side door sill is chipped
- The rear view mirror is not exceptionally tight and the night-tinting switch is misaligned.

I'm asking $6,000 for the car, and that includes both sets of wheels/tires.
