By the time you get one, most likely it would be modded to hell! I for one donot know of or seen any CSVT's that doesn't at least have a nice set of rims on it. I would have to agree on the value of the car being 9-11K within a couple of years, but hopefully by then, alot of new cars such as Lancer EVO's would have hit the neighborhood and will curve your interest in buying an SVT.
