Selling My 83 Brat :-(


Recommended Posts

I am looking for a good home for my Brat. There are some local folks that say they are interested and I wanted to give them and everybody here dibs before I got serious and put it online. I suppose the price is a little negotiable but I'm not sure how negotiable. I've got plenty of pictures to eventually post online if needed. I would REALLY like to thank everybody here because you all have saved my bacon more than once with this Brat. If you have any questions let me know.

FOR SALE
$10,800
1983 Subaru Brat
Four speed manual transmission with dual range four wheel drive. Runs great. 131,000 miles on the chassis. A real classic car that is fun to drive. Reliable enough for daily driver or for a road trip. I am moving out of the country and can’t take it with me. 

The Good:
    • Has only minor rust.
    • Includes removable truck cap.
    • Has 4 inch lift with 15 inch rims (13 inch is stock).
    • Rebuilt engine with less than 3000 miles.
    • Stock carburetor has been replaced with aftermarket Weber.
    • Includes tow bar, mount, and lights so it can be easily towed.
    • Some spare parts are included.

The Bad:
    • The rear shocks need to be replaced.
    • The interior overhead light does not work.
    • The A/C does not work and needs two new hoses made.
    • The rally lights need to be wired up.
    • The reverse lights need to be wired up.
    • The 4WD indicator lights need to be wired up.

The Ugly:
    • Need to use a button instead of ignition key to start.
    • Transmission requires some technique for a couple gears.
    • Some exterior emblems, badges, and trim need to be refurbished.
    • The minor rust needs to be dealt with soon.

I don't live in Oklahoma anymore, I'm in SW Florida until I leave. I have it up on FB at https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1172982303409882

I unfortunately have to sell it by the end of the month, so I started high and I'm going to drop the price until it sells. Currently at $8800 but if it hasn't sold in a couple weeks I'm going to put it on Ebay with a reserve of $4800. If it doesn't sell for that I'm just going to park it somewhere and hope it doesn't rot too much.
