Ya I have decided on gen 2 and have found 2 that look to be gems....I have posted other thread asking for help deciding on which one to buy! Thanks Buck

Ok all I have found 2 nice gen2 brats and need help deciding which would be the better buy!! 1st is a 1982 SUBARU BRAT gl, 135,000 on motor,4 speed, new brakes/ clutch, runs good, $3900. , seller has told me its pan is rust free but he wont take less than 3700.00 The 2nd is a 1986 and looks to be very clean as well with 250k mls with newer 1800 engine. Has brand new: Weber Carb conversion,water pump, Electric Distributor,wires,oil and tune. Runs sweet. Everything works as it should. I have all the stock parts including the jump seats! No, its not a cheap beat up brat. I have seen these sell for 9 grand. This is the GL T-Top with the Hi-Low range 4 speed. Great gas mileage and reliable has a stone axe, the owner of this one is asking 4800 but have him down to 4,000.00 Please all opinions welcome Thanks Buck

I would love a gen 1 but think being 6ft 220 lbs I may be a tight fit..... I was a die hard Porsche fan for years and have owned 7 different 911s but im not as this as i once was lol. Buck

I thinks its been a great car....we have put about 40k on it already with no complaints but I took my wife out of a S430 4matic benz but she seems to enjoy the Subi. Thank Buck

Thanks it took 10 years but she's finally done!! I bought the Sami to tow behind the van but have decided that I need something a little smaller and more practical as a every day driver. I will be selling the Sami to purchase the Brat, I always wanted one when I was growing up....it will be an expedition style build w/ mild lift, custom safari rack for storage, some led lights, custom bumpers w/winch,rear bumper will most likely have a swing away tire, with another water/fuel storage, ARB fridge in the back with a pull out stove and on board propane. Just like my van....I have the build in my head now just to make it a reality!! I guess I'm not a complete Subaru NOOB....I do own a 2013 outback that I bought in Dec of 2012 its the wife's but she wont let me change a thing. Buck

Hello all, I have recently decided to buy a Brat, and would like to hear opinions on which year would be the best to buy. I will be replacing a Suzuki Sami It will be used as a daily driver, I would like it to have a hi/low 4wd but am also leaning towards a gen 1, slight lift, but still be able to get decent mpg. Can a gen1 be moded to a hi/low 4wd? This is my current daily driver/camper/bug out rig.... 2002 E350 7.3 PSD Clydesdale 4x4 conversion Colorado camper van pop top conversion Van spec interior conversion Arb lockers On board propane/ furnace 12lb warn Arb fridge Many more goodies I am from Yakima WA, all opinions are welcome since I am a noob to the Subaru seen. Thanks Buck
