1992 Subaru Svx Ls Coupe 2-door 3.3l Eg33 Awd Runs & Drives - Nj Inspected. on 2040-cars
Year:1992
Mileage:245680
Color:
Location:
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 BRZ gets updates, limited-edition Series.Blue model for 2015
Thu, 29 May 2014The popular complaint about the Subaru BRZ is that its 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter-boxer engine is underpowered compared to other, modern sports coupes. Subaru isn't doing anything to address that for the 2015 model year BRZ, but the company does have some aesthetic upgrades ready for its rear-wheel-drive two-door and a limited-edition version with a more aggressive body.
The big news for the 2015 BRZ is the Series.Blue Special Edition (pictured above) that is limited to 1,000 units for the US with 500 of them in the brand's famous WR Blue Pearl and the other 500 in Crystal White Pearl. Mechanically, the special models are unchanged with the 2.0-liter boxer engine and a six-speed manual, but they wear an exclusive, black, STI-branded body kit that includes a new lower-lip front spoiler, rear spoiler, side sills and underbody panels. Subaru claims the whole setup increases front downforce and decreases the car's coefficient of drag from 0.28 to 0.27. To match the new kit, the limited-edition cars feature black, 17-inch wheels from STI with contrasting red brake calipers hiding behind them. The interior sees nearly as many changes as the outside with black and blue leather sport seats with blue stitching, and a similar motif for the steering wheel, shift boot, parking brake and kneepads. The illuminated engine start button gets an STI logo, as well. The Series.Blue arrives at dealers in July for $30,285, after the $795 destination charge.
The rest of the BRZ lineup isn't left out and has some minor upgrades of its own, with revised damper settings, stainless steel exhaust tips, a body-color shark fin antenna and a simulated carbon fiber dashboard panel - similar to the upgrades found on the 2015 Scion FR-S. Two new colors are available - Ice Silver Metallic and Crystal White Pearl. Prices are up $100 across the board for 2015. After destination, the Premium trim is $26,490; the Limited is $28,490; the Limited with an automatic transmission is $29,590. The 2015 models hit dealers this summer.

2019 Toyota Corolla vs. compact hatchbacks: How they compare
Mon, Apr 30 2018So you've read what we thought about the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. Oh, you didn't? Well, click to your left, we'll still be here. Just made some coffee, we're good for a while. Welcome back! Wasn't that riveting? The blue paint sure is bright, eh? Well, now you must be wondering how that new 2019 Corolla stacks up with all the other hatchbacks. And, despite long thinking that hatchbacks were doomed, there are actually quite a lot of them these days. So many, in fact, that we couldn't fit them all in our space-limited comparison chart. So, with apologies to the Hyundai Elantra GT, Kia Forte and the dead-man-walking Ford Focus, these were the cars we chose based on sales and competitiveness: the Honda Civic Hatchback, Mazda3 5-Door, Volkswagen Golf, Chevrolet Cruze and Subaru Impreza. We also included the outgoing Corolla iM for reference. If you think we've left something of interest out, you can always create your own comparison. Performance and fuel economy There is but one king here, and its name is Civic. While the sedan and coupe come with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter 158-horsepower four-cylinder that's less potent than the Corolla's, the hatchback comes standard with the 1.5-liter turbo that aces the segment in terms of both acceleration and fuel economy. The Golf's acceleration should be comparable, but as you can see, it trails on fuel economy (still not bad, though). The new Corolla ends up being better than the rest with its new 168-hp four-cylinder paired to novel transmissions: a six-speed manual with rev-matched downshifting (!) and a CVT that mimics the actions of a 10-speed automatic. The Corolla does weigh more than everything else, though, so that could hamper its acceleration. Fuel economy data also wasn't announced, but Toyota indicated it would be a bit better than the old Corolla iM. Something akin to the 2.0-liter Mazda 3's numbers seems likely. As for the Mazda, its top two trim levels actually come standard with its bigger engine. In any event, despite its ample power, testing has often showed that the Civic is still the quicker car from 0 to 60 mph. And finally, let's not leave out the two on the end. The Subaru is the only car in the segment that offers all-wheel drive (the Focus RS and Golf R don't count), but is also the segment weakling now that the Corolla iM has been discontinued.
