ezapar Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 83 DL, runs great, needs a tranny. I have one. 340k, just the slightest rust under the rocker panels. Dash isn't even cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bard Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 *curses & mutters* $250 is what I'm looking to pay for the '94 Loyale chassis... rot on the right rear, but it looks like it won't be too much to repair at a body shop. Engine with 98k on her that leaks more oil than mine with 226k. A 4wd 3at that's in dubious condition. *mutters* I say we steal a bunch of dump trucks, load 'em up with rock salt, and dump it all in Eric's yard. . Who's with me?

northguy Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Eric, you really know how to kick those East coasters and Midwesterners where it really hurts. I just hope they don't retaliate by showing you some fantastic purchase of a couple of 360's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHATBRAT Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 An old DL with high miles and a bad tranny? Eric, You are slipping. I am not trying to be negative but just honest. Me?, I would pass. I guess it all depends what you are into, what you like, want, need. I guess if you need the dash and some body panels it's worth it. I remember while growing up people couldn't even give stuff like that away. Oh well, As long as you are happy then I am happy for you. ....

Big deal. The tranny works, just doesn't go into reverse. Drove it home. A good 4 speed D/R is sitting in my garage waiting for a host. Hell, I have a parts 4X hatch behind my garage with everything I'll need. Pow. Little sucker runs like a dream, lots of stuff replaced, brakes, tires, c/vs. . . Tabs till 1/05. Interior's nice too. Tell me about your score that beats that my friend. But thanks for being happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I think my 78 wagon that I drove away for $1 probably beats it..... but only because it was *extremely* cheap. That DL is more desireable, so that somewhat evens out the comparison.... still.... ONLY $1, AND I DROVE IT AWAY. HAHAHAHAHA Only thing I really miss on the DL's is the Oil Pressure guage.... the EA81 pumps tend to want a reseal every now and then to keep the pressure on, so the guage really helps to know what's up. You can always add an aftermarket one tho. Other than that, I really like the DL's - something about the simplicity makes it attractive.

Mike W Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I saw the ad for that one and almost called to tell you about it. Wasn't sure if you still wanted a wagon. That'll be wierd seeing Zap in a wagon again. Wonder what'll be next? Gen 1 wagon? A sedan? Monster Justy? 360 monster van? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 It's for my buddy Wonder, he needs a car to drive for a few months till he can buy something newer. I'll get it back after that, would love to lift it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 too bad I don't have a digi cam Eric or else I would show you my $150 wagon with a few dents and only rust on the tailgate and the tranny even works! :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Tell me about your score that beats that my friend. FREE! FREE!!! Not to mention the other deals... well, what I'd consider "deals". Anyhow, looks like a good score. Will this turn into parts? or turn into a monster? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Free turbo XT! Pretty good deal :-D http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15359 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 Brian That gen one wagon totally reminds me of my first Soob. Definitely my most durable. I picked it up 10 years ago for $300. Had 99k on it, everything worked, even the A/C. Still ran when I abandoned it 9 months later. But I was waiting for Boz to speak up with his good deal. I know us Westerners get good stuff like this all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 aargh, i want a free car too! someone hook me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHATBRAT Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 My first car, A 84 VW rabbit diesel in very nice shape...free. My second, a 78 F100 for 100 bucks. Ran that one for a few years as well. 86 Cougar 300 bucks (loaded up). This was years ago. I was always messing with 4 wheelers and such. I have a cousin however, that has only ever actually bought 2 cars. All of the others have been given to him. See, I already had a car (My gray BRAT) so I never wanted another car. (At that time) My parents would not allow me to have cars sitting around the house. Heck, Even when I got older I bought cars to buy/sell and my mom was mad as hell. She doesn't like all the cars around the house. Now that I have my own house it's my call. My wife doesn't like it but she's happier now cause I just got rid of car #5. Now I am down to 4.

beachbum Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 yeah down here us eastcoasters wouldnt have paid more than $75.00 bucks for that zap:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 it's a good deal in my book. here's the last thing I got for $200... http://usmb.net/gallery/album93/PDC_0111 right door was totally caved in. gas filler tube was wrapped with saran wrap, doors flapped in the wind, tranny had the 3rd gear synchro issue and plenty of rust all over the place. tailgate rust wasn't too severe, but it was dented... all with only 86k on the clock I save from it: 86k motor grill tailgate t-tops drivers side window rear slider jump seats/frame the motor was my main goal, since it's $350-500 for a junk yard motor around here...

ezapar Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 Jeez. I never said best deal ever. My best deal was probably the perfectly running 92 legacy I was given a year ago or so. I traded it for my current hatch + got 500 bucks. So has anybody every given any of you a sweet running, 100% rust free, 95% straight body hatch back + 500 bucks? Thought not. . .

PHATBRAT Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Just for the record, That 86 cougar ran GREAT! (3.8L? 6 cyl) only issue I had with it was the modulator valve. That was a 5 minute job that was cheap. I kinda miss that car. I had some good times with that one...........he he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
