Description: the full story
There are Low Miles No Miles Subarus…and then there are the ones with a window-within-a-window. This 1992 Subaru SVX LS-L, showing just 22,275 miles, represents one of Subaru’s boldest designs.
Vehicle Overview
Finished in silver over a gray leather interior, this SVX LS-L is powered by its original 3.3L flat-six engine paired with an automatic transmission and Subaru’s all-wheel-drive system. The odometer currently shows 22,275 miles, and the car remains completely stock and unmodified.
Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the SVX stands apart with its distinctive “window-within-a-window” glass design and grand touring focus blending performance, comfort, and all-weather capability in a way few cars of the era attempted.
Story
This SVX has spent time in dry climates including Arizona and Colorado, which has helped preserve its overall condition. The current owner has added approximately 1,000 miles during ownership, enjoying the car while maintaining its originality.
Unlike many examples that have been altered or neglected over time, this SVX has remained largely untouched, offering a clean look at Subaru’s flagship coupe as it was originally intended.
Condition
As expected for a well-kept example, the car presents cleanly throughout. The exterior retains its original paint with only minor scratches noted, while the interior shows light wear consistent with the miles shown.
The vehicle is reported to be free of rust. Mechanically, it runs and drives well, with the transmission noted to shift smoothly.
Recent maintenance includes an oil change within the past year and replacement of the HVAC control head unit with a functioning used unit.
Noted items include an intermittently illuminated airbag light, driver sun-visor has trouble staying up, and slight brake noise when warm.
Overall, the car reflects a well-preserved and usable example of a platform that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Letter From The LMNM Team
This is one of those cars that just makes you look twice.
The SVX has always been a little different and that’s exactly why we like it. Subaru really went for it with these, and you can see it in everything from the design to the drivetrain.
We don’t see many of these come through, especially ones that are still stock and present like this. Most people remember them, but not many have actually spent time around one.
What makes this one even cooler for us is that the owner actually shipped the car out to our location, so we’ve had the chance to be around it in person drive it, film it, and really get a feel for what it’s like. It’s always a different experience when you’re not just looking at photos.
Because of that, we’re able to help with any additional questions, photos, or details anyone might need during the auction. The car is here with us, and we’ve had hands-on time with it.
It’s a true ’90s flagship coupe that tried to do things differently and honestly, that’s what makes it cool today.
The reserve on this car was met with the first bid. This SVX is selling today!
Good morning! As we get into the final few hours I’d like to thank everyone that inquired about this excellent SVX! The buyer will not be disappointed! Tag or message me with any final questions! Good luck!
Included in the sale is the original window sticker, VHS information tape, key fob (not tested), SVX pen light, owners manual, and factory warranty information booklets.
Hello everyone! As we get ready for the auction I just wanted to let everyone know that I am available to answer any questions you may have as best I can. This SVX is currently located at the LMNM facility in Michigan and I will be coordinating with them for any additional photo requests. This car drives beautifully. All shifts are smooth throughout. I have owned it over a year and put over 1,000 cruising miles on it with car seats and kids in the back seat. It was always a hit at Cars and Coffee and it seems everyone had some connection to these cars. The only reason for selling is that my family travels for work and we are downsizing our car collection a bit. The reserve is very reasonable and I hope to see it move on to someone who will love, appreciate, and enjoy this unique time capsule! Good luck to everyone!
