Very Rare 1992 Subaru Svx Ls-l Awd H6 Excellent Low Miles 2nd Owner (no Resreve) on 2040-cars
Salisbury, Maryland, United States

This is a once in a lifetime buy. This 1992 Subaru SVX LSL is a very impressive vehicle with a very unique history. I came upon the opportunity to purchase this vehicle over this past summer, as it sat, having been garage stored since 2002. I could not pass up the chance to own this piece of automotive history. The vehicle was initially purchased in 1992 (believe it or not) by a woman born in 1926. In 1998 it was traded in at a local dealership. The owner of that dealership thought so highly of the car that it was the only one from his lot that he kept when they closed down. He stored it in his personal garage soon after. There it sat until this summer when he offered the sale. Upon purchasing the car I went ahead and changed the fluids, fuel pump, fuel filter & battery. It started up first try. To test the durability of this Subaru I took a Fall trip from Maryland to New Hampshire and back with no issues. I have included plenty of pictures so as to give full detail into the cars strengths and weaknesses. I will also try to describe everything as detailed as I can. Before the car was stored it was given a new timing belt, new brakes, and new tires (I have all paperwork to verify). I replaced the parts previously stated and gave it a full cleaning. What I have found so far is that the engine runs very smooth and is very powerful, the transmission shifts effortlessly, braking is solid, and the car (interior and exterior) is in great original condition. Some of the faults that I have noted are that the gas gauge is not working (probably the sending unit), the rear seat behind, the head rests, has small cracks in the leather (pictured), some areas on the roof and below the driver rear window have the clear coat coming up (pictured), and every so often the car will crank 6-8 times before starting (not sure what the issue is there). I really hate to sell the car as it will soon fall in the collector car category and promises to only increase in value with as low as the miles are (84.444). That being said, financially, I have no choice. I hope to find an enthusiast that will appreciate this rare Subaru for all of it's unique characteristics. If you are not familiar with these cars, do a little research before deciding your bidding price. I was incredibly surprised to read how few of these were sold in the US and the fact that they have been verified to achieve 160mph +. If you have any questions, or would like to see the car before the auction close, feel free to contact me. This auction is being offered with NO RESERVE, so the high bidder takes it home. This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24hrs and full payment within 7 days.
Thanks and Happy Bidding! |

How new car shortages may impact your buying experience
Wed, 04 Sep 2013If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.
Subaru funds Center For Pet Safety crash testing for dogs [w/video]
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Crash-testing new vehicles to evaluate their ability to keep humans safe in accidents is nothing new, but thus far there has been little in the way of crash testing for dogs. Subaru, a company that portrays itself as pet friendly, hopes to raise awareness on the issue of pet safety by funding initial crash testing by the nonprofit Center for Pet Safety, Automotive News reports.
Real dogs were not used in the crash tests; three dummy dogs representing a 25-pound terrier, a 45-pound border collie and a 75-pound golden retriever were used. There are a variety of devices for sale that are supposed to restrain dogs from entering the front-seat area and distracting the driver - tethers, cages, nets and crates - but their effectiveness in a crash is unknown.
In Subaru's crash test, performed at a Virginia laboratory that tests child seats on a device that speeds down a track and stops abruptly, the results show that devices such as dog tethers are prone to break in a crash, sending the dog rocketing into whatever is in front of it. Rather alarmingly, the organization reports a 100-percent failure rate. In other words, "None of the harnesses were deemed safe enough to protect both the dog and the humans in the event of an accident." Yikes.
Subaru readying special-edition BRZ
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Another week coming to a close brings another rumor of a potential hotted-up version of the Subaru everyone wants to turbocharge, the BRZ.
A fresh rumor out of the Car and Driver offices makes the claim that a new, special-edition BRZ model will be offered up within the next few months. Word is that the new model will not get similar upgrades to the recent BRZ tS (seen above) for the Japanese market, meaning we're likely in for a cosmetic update instead of a functional one.
The looks of the tS could still be in the cards, however, meaning swapped-out lip spoiler, wheels and even STI badging might be on the way.
