Tips for looking at a car to buy


Recommended Posts

Hey all, I got a line on a 1983 brat I'm going to go look at on Friday. I know the normal suspect areas for rust, fender wells, rocker panels, under seats. I believe up around the strut tops too.

I've been told it is in pretty dang good shape, but the motor has problems (don't run). But I expect something halfway simple. Asking 1200. I will take pics and post afterwards.

 

What do you look for when looking to but a subaru?

 

Thanks. Any input here is appreciated.

Good body > not running

 

Motors are cheap and easier to find than a near rust free body. It's likely to be something simple, too.

 

Hard to judge without having seen it, but $1200 sounds good for no rust. These Brats are only getting more expensive.
