Re: Who has the lowest mileage SVX?
Quote:
What I said was the first model SVX, phase 1, was sold in the UK for four years between 92 and 95. You are inferring that because two UK cars have different applied model codes of CXWAK7E and CXWBK7E that this proves there are different models or different "model years". No way does it prove that. What it actually proves is that the first car is produced for the UK market and destined to ship in year "A", 1992. The second car was produced for the UK market and destined to ship in the year "B" 1993. There is in fact no difference between the two cars in specification. They are offered with the exact same colours, same trim, same options. I myself have two cars out back that are B cars. The Ebony car is registered in 1993. The Liquid Silver is registered in 1995. Think of it as in the UK and Europe the same model is sold for 4 years. In the US the same model is sold for one year. What's so difficult to grasp about that? Joe

I got you on it, actually, I agree with all of your conclusions . We have Ford dealers here that still have new FORD GTs in the show room, but they don't want to sell, except for a price. The SVX was costly in England, and certainly there were B cars that an agressive dealer sold well be an A car at another dealer. First registration dates won't always correlate with model years on low volume cars, here or there. This is really a discussion for the Model thread, not the lowest mileage thread, let's take it there, and if you would, please move that thread to the Registration forum.

I know for a fact that at least one car manufacturer is currently selling "new 2010 models" that are actually (secretly) surplus 2008 models that have been given a minor facelift. They are still considered new cars even though they have been in storage for almost three years.

Remember the pics and question about an early UK car, one WITHOUT an airbag. Was that a 'A' car? Do we know if all A cars, or any A cars for the UK have airbags?

This does not take into account any used imports unfortunately, of which there is/was quite likely more than the number sold new; the obvious reason being price. I'm trying (in my spare time) to find out how I go about getting this kind of information from the NZTA without breaking any privacy laws. If I ever do get numbers, I'll post them here. [UPDATE 17.05.10] - Just got an email from NZTA with actual data regarding the total "active" registered fleet in New Zealand. It would appear that the figure of 34 I was given by SubaruNZ may have only applied to 1992 models rather than total sales. I've attached a summary of the data to a thread I posted here: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=54587 Last edited by **Ewie**; 05-16-2010 at 10:29 PM. |

Re: Who has the lowest mileage SVX?
Not in the running but have a UK '96 registered car with 58,000 miles which is not bad for a 16 yr old car.

Re: Who has the lowest mileage SVX?
Funny that our car was mentioned in post #2. Don't let the $30K price bother anyone too much, it was simply a parting number if anyone actually offered that. My father and I both still admire the car very much. In 1-2 years, ownership will change hands and be under my name.
I just made a new thread with pictures in the General Babble section. Up to 16,041 miles on our 1996! Can anyone beat that?
