iscariot Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I'm going to look at an 88 GL wagon tonight, and I thought I remembered seeing a faq somewheres around here about what to look for. If anyone can point me to it or offer some advice, it'd be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syphon Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Rust CV Axles (listen for bearing noise in the front end as well) Clutch Oil Leaks Lifter Tapping. That's what I'd look for at least, I'm sure others have other things to keep an eye out for. I've never heard of the FAQ, but then, I havent been active on the board long.

Subarutex Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Ok ok... wacky idea. Syphon is picking up a new car this weekend. He has a 1985 GL wagon that will be up for sale. Wouldn't you rather buy from a goon? I can vouch for all the work done on it, since I was either doing it or near by when it was being done. Nice car.

iscariot Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 Perhaps. I'm looking at an 88 GL wagon in Greenlake I spotted on craigslist this morning. My Taurus finally got fixed (drove it for 4 months stuck in 2nd gear, 5spd) for the uberlow price of 20$ and 2 six packs by Clary's automotive, only to now have a customer of mine point out that two weeks ago I didn't have brake lights. After replacing the bulbs and shorting the stoplamp switch with a paperclip, still no brake lights. and syphon hasn't mentioned selling his.

syphon Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 That's because it's not DEFINATELY up for sale until tomorrow, when I'll be buying myself a new Legacy :-) I'll let you know tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
