June 14, 20187 yr Author This really disturbs me. That these, and who knows how many other thousands of old parts there are, sitting in Subaru warehouses. With no way for anyone to even begin to find them, unless they have an old parts book. I got these numbers from a guy on facebook, who had such a book, as incredibly ironic as that is... When I bought my 83 ragtop 4 years ago, In February in Indiana, at night, in sub-zero temperatures, the thermostat was stuck wide open. I went to the dealership I had actually worked at in the early 90s for a tstat. The kid at the parts counter was, like, "Uh...like, our system only goes back to like 85." I just glared at him, turned around, and went to Napa. I was too steamed to even discuss why: 1. He had no clue that they were the same as the 85-94s. 2. That Subaru had not bothered to put anything older in their system. I realize they are only required to sell parts for 15 years after manufacture, but why keep these parts in stock then?!? I really see this as a failure of Subaru to support the survivors of their brand. They should be featuring some of our old relics... with the old relics (us) that keep them alive, in their sales propaganda, instead of all the 20-somethings and their dogs camping in brand-new Crosstreks... Forgive my rant.
June 14, 20187 yr Come to Australia ...our parts supply is only required for five years ! My allegiance to Subaru IS the great ability to supply parts even up to 30 years after manufacture!!
June 14, 20187 yr Jono, the ACL requires spare parts to be available for a "reasonable amount of time". Typical automotive spare parts worldwide is 10 years from end of production in my experience, which I think would be seen as reasonable in most cases (certainly for this part of the market, you might have a case if you couldn't get parts for a Ferrari after 11 years). The average amount of time from buying a new car to selling it is around 6 years, and the average car age is a little over 10 years. Subaru doesn't appear to be any better or worse than other auto-makers (hence the decision to stop supplying your EA82 oil pump).

June 14, 20187 yr Tried to order online and says they're not available. If my local dealer wasn't worthless I'd call them with the part numbers and try.

June 15, 20187 yr Author Looks like they're still available at subaruparts.com. You have to just enter the part numbers in the search field once you get on the site. It does no good looking them up by application.
June 15, 20187 yr I used Subaru Online Parts, they're typically my go to. I've gotten several ea81 parts from them in the past. I never go by application for these parts lol, I've got scans of the old parts books. I'll try that site tomorrow.
June 15, 20187 yr Author It's showing up for me at Subaru online parts. Sure you looked in repair parts and not accessories?
June 15, 20187 yr This still shows having them: https://www.subarupartsdepot.com/oem-parts/subaru-cover-remote-inner-left-hand-760123200 Good luck! Dan
July 17, 20187 yr My local dealer says the LH side, the -200 P/N is NLA, both in person and via their online portal. They still show as available online, so I tried placing a web order, only to have my order cancelled. I just placed an order from the link above, so we'll see if they cancel this one too.

Yes, I ended up getting a kick back email saying the same... Smh. If anyone happens to find another source I’m interested!

Just tried to reorder a smaller quantity. I have left over RH parts, if someone is willing to trade for some NOS LH parts.
July 20, 20187 yr Me too - I just tried to order both and the right side is the only one available. Get 'em while you can - but please don't hoard.
