Right now, for the time being, I'm afraid the meantime is really "mean time" since I am "Subaruless" . I did see around town a 97 Legacy wagon with 150,000+ miles for $3800, but it just seemed to be a bit too pricey (and has since been bought by someone who apparently didn't think so). But you can be sure I am looking for the "For Sale" signs on Subaru windows!

Very nice line-up! I just gave my one and only soob to my son (which I miss already - yeah, I miss my son too:)), so seeing all your Subarus reminds me that there are more out there just waiting to be discovered.

Yes, that would be very comforting indeed! Maybe . . . someday . . .

I finally parted with my 87 Subaru GL Wagon. But I'm keeping her in the family at least, since I gave all 200,000+ miles of her to my college son who is now caring for her. By the way, I told him how good and helpful this board is and he registered, so if you see "FrisbeeFreak" hanging around the board, say Hi! Hope to have a Subaru again some day and I'm sure I'll be checking in from time to time to see if anything is available. Thank you to all of the fine folks here at USMB for the help and knowledge you've given me through this forum.

Walla Walla here. My stock Subaru so far has been an around town car; no serious offroading (except for that one road into the Blue Mountains, but the huge ruts made me think twice and I turned around). Anyway, the odometer just rolled over 200,000; happy birthday to roo!

Thanks for the advice, I'll check into it.

First of all, thanks for all the help from this board for helping me figure out how to remove the window crank handles in my 87 GL wagon. Now that I can remove them and see the gears, what do you suggest for lubricating the window hardware, gears, etc? I am thinking a little shot of WD40. One of my windows can be a little difficult to roll up especially when the weather is a bit on the cold side. Thanks to all the fine folks at USMB!

Welcome! The only stupid question is the one that is not asked (except for the occasional one asked by me ) Peace . . .

Redskin, Thanks for the idea. There's never a loss of creativity at USMB! Edit: Just tried it and it worked great.

I had a grinding-type noise coming from the front right wheel and it turned out to be bearings.

Thanks for the pic. Now I know that there must be a tool for everything!

Thanks for the info. Just curious, does the clip come out easily or should I expect hard resistance?

I need to remove the manual window crank handles in my 87 GL Wagon. Before I start prying them off, I thought I'd better ask how to do it. So, how do I remove the window crank handles? I didn't see any screw holding them on. Do they just pry off? Thanks, Steve

1987 GL Wagon - Grey

I had one blue service manual that came with the car, but it was so full of grease I threw it away. Now I wish I had it . . . grease and all.
