idosubaru Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 there's an SVX network - a dedicated forum for the SVX. yes the auto transmission burn out with good regularity. if you can get a good transmission in the car, just change the fluid and install an aftermarket transmission cooler, that will keep them from failing. they are picky about wheel bearings too. the biggest deterent to the SVX is the very expensive maintenance and hard to find parts (which makes them expensive). mind you...i hear all the time from american car guys about how expensive "foreign cars" are. i'm not talking about that - SVX stuff can be through the roof and tough to find. go price a windshield or TPS or Idle controller..... awesome cars, just learn the quirks. the motors are very, very reliable...keeping in mind an old one could be 10 years out of maintenance and need some upkeep.

Hondasucks Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yeah, you'll love it though, they are bad arse cars! The weird "WTF is that thing???" looks you get from people are worth the effort. I got lucky on mine, $800 + $300 for a 12,000 mile old factory rebuilt tranny. SVX network is http://www.subaru-svx.net/ My board name is the same on there.
