Old 86

Thanks to everybody who replied to this post, the information is much appreciated

Hey, thanks for the info. This is a great start. It looks like I now know that I will be looking for a GL and the years that will be best for what I want. Thanks for responding. If anybody else has more helpful information, I would love to hear.

I had a 91 Loyale and loved it as it drove me all over the country. Problem was it was a 3 speed auto and 2wd so when it presented me with a pile of problems to fix I let it go. If it was a 5 spd and 4wd I would have kept it forever. I traded it out for a 4x4 Toyota, then a 2wd 91 Honda accord. After having 4x4 in the Toyota I am going crazy in a 2wd so with gas prices what they are I think I want to go back to a subaru. I really want true 4wd and I want the Hi-lo option, so It seems as though I want a 85-89 GL (because I want a full size wagon as well)? Before I buy i was hoping some of those with more experience in these year models could let me know if there are any chronic problems that I should look out for, what a good price is, and if there are any models or options that I should jump on if I find them. Any help would be awesome. It would be my plan to adventually build this up, with a ozifield lift, brush bar, ralley lights, etc if that helps with any info you would give me. Thanks Oh... and of course if anybody has a suby wagon with hi-lo they are looking to part with let me know.
