jeep5.9litre Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I am seriously considering purchasing this vehicle located in the link below. I am wondering how much shipping would be from WA to PA?? Do you guys think this would be worth it? I am still waiting to hear back on the price. What do you guys think of the car overall? http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=193779857&dealer_id=1360026&car_year=1988&search_type=used&make=SUB&distance=0&model=SUBGL&address=18508&certified=&advanced=&max_price=&bkms=1135408849506&min_price=&end_year=1989&start_year=1981&isp=y&lang=&cardist=2312#vdptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkx Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 it looks like its in nice shape, but chances are you can find a similar car in the paper. theres usually a few older subarus in the local classifieds on any given day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTrain Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 you should also be able to find one with less than 250,000 miles on her as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is it'll be at least $800. Sure you can find one just like it around Pottsville,etc....but it'll be rotting from the underside...I think you know that,so you're smart to look into the long haul. I know there's some people that'll take my remarks are sarcastic but I really mean it when I ask to please let us know if you find cheap and reliable transport for a cross country effort.Gas prices didn't come down that much.Before they went up you'd get quotes of well over $1000 from most companies,and I'm just about 120 miles further east than you. I think if the car is less than $800 it's worth it but that's me.If your acceptable spending cap is around $2,200 then you'd probably be happy in the long run. 88 and 89 are the BEST years for the D/R,the best tranny ever. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 i have found many shippers who would actually bring a car from CA to my door for $450, it just takes time to look and not pick the first one you see. i usually go with no insurance, because its not a new car.these are with the big companies who put like 12 cars on a trailer which allows them to do it cheap. if you want, i can help locate a cheap shipper, when i was looking at a non running 76 in WA they quoted me $700, but a running car will run you about 200 less.

subeman90 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 250k and 2k+ miles away.... no way in heck. If you look hard enough and be patient.... you'll find one. I personally know of a loyale sedan in PA that has next to no rust on the body (didn't see the frame b/c of snow) and it is 5 speed with push button 4wd. It has 195k on it and it is sitting on a "bargain row" I would almost guarantee it is going to be $800 or maybe even less. Honestly i'd offer $600 for it. I personally looked at it last weekend...so it might even still be there. LMK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeep5.9litre Posted December 25, 2005 Author Share Posted December 25, 2005 I love the car..its basically what I want but I feel that they are gonna want in the range of 2k for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 i`m betting alot cheaper. they don`t want old, high milage cars on their lot, the want the late model low milage stuff. i just looked up their website, looks like a big dealer.

moosens Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Sorry,what I didn't say was IF you had a good drop in engine here then it'd be worth it to get the solid body.With all that mileage on it you'd better have a plug 'n play engine ready. Matt is right though,if you REALLY hunt you can still find them with minimal rust,but they aren't getting any easier to find up here.
