fauxden Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 according to the owner. i have popped the hood yet: 86 ea82 turbo, fuel injected 170k miles little rust new tires decent brakes power everything fancy digital dash cv axeles etc in good shape push button 4wd it has the TOD slight oil leak 1000 bucks. I have owned an 86 gl, and now 91 loyale. My folks are looking for a car for my sis who is 18. What do you think? Any negotiation techniques? I have heard the turbo motors kind of suck... let me know your opinions. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysayhi Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Do you know the suspension? I wouldn't get her a turbo car but it sounds like its a pretty good car in good condition. If you could post some pics maybe? is it a wagon or sedan? Edited March 8, 2012 by shortysayhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fauxden Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 wagon. slight rust on bottom of wheel wells. I'm going to go drive it here in about an hour. not sure on suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 No way. EA82T with high miles (unreliable) and an early flapper-MAF version to boot...... Price is too high - can easily get into a first gen Legacy for that much. Run. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah, even without the experience GD has in this field, I'd even say steer clear for 1k. Known reliability issues, high mileage (relatively), and you could find something better than that for 1k, whether it be another GL (non turbo) or a different type of soob.

one eye Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ya just offer less than what he wants cause sooner or later youll have to do HG's on it, youll have about 300 bucks in parts into it, so offer 700, ask last time the T belts where done and look under it that always tells the real story leaks, ware, how its been driven (wheeled or crashed) wires hanging, rust so on and so on...........................

987687 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 First gen Legacys are cheaper, have more power, infinite more reliability, safer, ..... and on and on. Personally I'd buy it because I like unreliable old rusty subarus that break down when I'm on road trips. But I wouldn't suggest it for someone who just wants a car to get to work.
