There is a nice SVO that works down the street from me but its not for sale. All it needs is a rear tail light.

Are you looking to buy a 2.3T car? If you're interested in a 93 Hatch with a 2.3T swap PM me.
any of em have any times?

I'm going to be selling my SVO in about 6 weeks. It's definately a driver and not a show car right now. I've had it for 8 years and it's been super reliable. I'm only selling it so I can get a different daily driver. It dyno'ed 221 hp and 304 ft/lbs, though I might take off the (few) speed parts I have on it so I don't get completely hosed on the deal. I'm going to be working on it this weekend to get it ready for sale. Needs some cleaning and stuff.

If you're not in a hurry, just keep an eye on the For Sale section. I'll put it in there to see what kind of interest there is, then it'll go into the Auto Trader after that if it needs to.

2 grand should get you a really nice XR or TC with some good performance parts on it, I'd say. (*EDIT* - Or and SVO that's in uhhh... 'needs help' condidtion.) Assuming equal condition, SVOs are generally the most expensive of the 2.3t cars, unless you get one of the freaky wierd ones, like a 1984 20th Anniversary edition, 1983-84 GT Turbo or Capri RS Turbo. In good condition, any of those would be pretty pricey, ESPECIALLY if you found one of the first two in a convertible...they're about as common as hen's teeth!

Some SVOs are extra rare, too: Blue ones (~69 made, I think), Hertz ones (~34), Comp Preps (hard to say), Canadian ones (756), 85.5's (439)...

As for XRs, the only 'rare' thing I've heard of is finding one WITHOUT a sunroof. I think they called that a Competition Shell, or something like that.
