Sold my 87 Honda Magna and immediately rolled the proceeds ($1500) into this. It’s 92 SVX, 224k miles. It’s equipped with touring package (leather seats, speed sensitive steering, power driver seat and heated mirrors).
The good - It runs well on all cylinders, good brakes, exhaust, tires and electrics (everything but one rear window works). It’s nice torquey motor, happy with the performance thus far.
The bad - has a good oil leak (hoping for valve covers), throwing a transmission code (though transmission does goes through all gears fine), a decent size crease in pass front fender and a bunch of small gouges / dings on passenger door. Typical for 90s cars this age, the clearcoat on all flat surfaces is failing. Yes, this is why i included pics of the driver’s side :) The left taillight is retaining water due to a crack and 3rd brake light has some bad LEDs. I already have parts coming for those.
Immediate plans are to address the oil leak, see what the transmission code is for and whether practical to address, or just hold out until it stops shifting. See if I can wrap or paint black the roof, and acquire a nicer matching color fender and hood to clean up the cosmetics some. I’ve got a local line on what should be reasonably priced parts already.
And in the meantime experience one of my dream cars on the cheap :) .
Happy NFL day Oppos!
