mummer43 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I'm thinking about selling my 91 Loyale wagon and I was wondering if I could get some input on a reasonable price. It has: Approx. 124,000 miles 4wd Magnaflow muffler Open airbox K&N filter New oil pump New timing belt New water pump 4 new tires new CV joints New axle/half shafts newly inspected Oil changed 2 weeks ago I have the receipts to confirm the work that was done. The car also has the typical body rust, but only in small amounts. There are also a few dents and dings and interior wear and tear. What's a reasonble price? I was thinking $2500.

BlueTrain Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 if the body is in reasonably good shape, i'd say its a fair price. subarus tend to go for a lot more out here in the west though, so i am not exactly sure what "fair" would be back east. but it does have low miles and new parts, so that should help in selling it. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Actually - sometimes Subaru's go for a lot MORE out on the east cause they tend to be rare out there in good shape (ie: no rust) GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see it go to someone who will appreciate it, especially since I modded it a little. I also have a sweet Alpine stereo that cost almost $400 that I'll throw in for $200 more. That includes 4 new speakers. I have to take some pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTrain Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 well, exactly how minor is the body damage? but regardless, with the low miles, new parts, etc..you should be able to get at least 2 for it if the body is in decent shape..

There's a dent in the front passenger door and the left front fender is dented. Niether happened while I owned the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mummer43 Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 Other than this website, where can I list my Loyale for sale? Are there any other sites like this where I can reach other Subaru enthusiasts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bard Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 How soon are you lookin' to get rid of it? Originally, I've made plans to look for a wagon from the 80's, but it'd have to be late spring. I'm not sure you'd want to wait until next summer to sell it . Doesn't help that you've done a lot of work on it already... if you hadn't done the work on it, it almost would've been my perfect car. I'm really liking the sound of that GL, though...

mummer43 Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 I'm still trying to decide if I want to sell it. I'm considering buying a new truck and If I do, I'm selling the Loyale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom63050 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Mummer, This is Tom in Virginia. I'm the guy who looked at the car for you and advised to buy it. I go back and forth about my Loyale too, but always decide to keep it. Excellent cheap transportation, easy repairs (mostly). Buy a used truck. If one vehicle breaks down you have the other one as a backup. Who needs a new truck anyway, if it's being used for hauling stuff? As Click and Clack say, it's always cheaper to repair your old car than buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a payment is nice. Plus, it runs really strong and is great on gas. I'm looking at a Toyota Tacoma TRD. I've always wanted one and I have the itch to get a new vehicle again. Even if I do get a truck, I may still keep the Loyale. I'm waiting to hear about a job that I applied for and if I get it, I'll get a really nice pay increase and I may just buy the Tacoma. I'm hoping to hear about the job soon, I've been waiting since July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
