Greetings everyone.  

 

New Subaru owner here.  Just picked up what seems to be a pretty clean 1986 GL Wagon - non-turbo - 214K miles - $1700 - well maintained with maintenance paperwork from original owner.

 

I will be going over the car in the next few months and addressing some of the few issues that it has here in the forums.  Just saying hello to everyone!

Welcome and nice wagon! 

Agree hoping its a good one for that money hopefully no rust if its from down your way.

 

Had one of these one of the best cars ever owned until rust around the windscreen (structural integrity) in 6 monthly road worthiness inspection here ) put it off the road in 2009 (had done 225 K miles (bought it 14 years before putting on 135 K miles)

 

Still had plenty of life in it ie in good mechanical condition paint faded badly on though.

 

Gave it to neighbour as it needed 2 new tyres and a battery so that was all that it was worth here then. $300

 

The only issues were clutch replacement at 125K replaced hitachi carb with another 2nd hand one,, apart from the usual cam belts spark plugs filters oil batteries tyres etc

 

This is at the neighbours place when l gave it to him in 2009
