Quidam, it's an automatic, which is what I'm looking for. I went to look at the Loyale today. It's every bit as near perfect as the pics show. I was actually really surprised at the condition of it. The engine sounded strong. It was strange driving a wagon as I've never driven one before. The steering has a "tighter" feel to it when turning than any other car I've driven. It's hard to describe. It's not bad, just different. Everything right down to the seats were good. The seats were very comfy. Now for the price. The least they would take is $3750. The owner told the salesman (I believe it's a family business) over the phone (you could hear it as if it were on speakerphone) that they had already dropped it twice from $5950, then to $4950, now to $3950. I told him the amount I wouldn't go over and told them I couldn't go anymore. I left the ball in their court. The salesman was going to talk to his owner to see if he would accept less than $3750. Since it's snow country in the upper part of NC, they tend to go for more money and I passed quite a few Subaru's on the way back home coming through NC. What does everyone think? Tommy

Hey crazyhorse001! You got any leads on a Subaru Loyale wagon? You're not far from me at all, just one county over. I'm thinking about going to see the wagon I told everyone about. Thanks, Tommy

They claim they already dropped it $1,000 already. I need everyone's opinion on this... do you think they would consider $2,000 if I had it in cash when I go there, or do you believe they would balk at it? Thanks everyone! Tommy

So nearly $4,000 is a fair price or should I try to get the price down? What all is involved in doing a reseal of the engine? Is it mostly head gasket related? Thanks, Tommy

Hey everyone! I just joined this site after finding a 1992 Subaru Loyale Wagon I'd like to buy. A dealership is selling it. It's a light blue with only 88,000-something miles. I saw the pics from all angles and I'm thinking about going tomorrow to look at it. It looks like it's in very great shape. They are asking nearly $4,000 for it. Is that a fair price or does the price need to come down some more? It has the 1.8L engine in it? Is the Loyale reliable? I've never owned a Subaru, so can anyone give me any pointers or guide me in all of this? Thanks in advance everyone! :-) Tommy Thomas
