This Subaru SVX got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1997 Subaru SVX LSi is one of approximately 640 examples built for the model’s final year of production, and it is finished in Polo Green Pearl over beige leather upholstery. Power is provided by a 3.3-liter flat-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. Equipment includes a sunroof, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, automatic climate control, and a factory cassette stereo with a CD player. Work since the current owner’s acquisition in August 2020 has included fluid changes, servicing of the power steering system, and replacement of the valve cover gaskets, spark plug well seals, front and rear struts, and front CV boots. This SVX shows 73k miles and is now offered by the seller on behalf of its owner at no reserve with the manufacturer’s literature, recent service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title.
