Brat Located, Western Washington, need price opinion

Featured Replies

Located for sale, and am looking for someone elses opinion as to whether or not it's worth as much as he's asking.

 

1985 Subaru Brat

235,000 original miles, original engine/trans/head gaskets

New: brakes, tires, cv's, semi-new clutch

Original jump seats

No rust

Almost always garaged

One of the straightest used cars I've ever seen

 

Needs:

Tune up (do it myself)

Windshield within 6 months, crack in left side, expanding, may leak.

 

Still runs absolutely fantansitc, some old guy, he's had it since it was 1 year old. He's asking $3200. I was planning on using this car for daily driving for about a year or two, probably adding 50k miles to it. Would it be worth that much, considering it's age and mileage, despite the fact that they last forever?

I think he's being optimistic. I'd pay $500 to $700 for a non rusted body with a blown engine and transmission, but not $3200 for what you describe. If it's really cherry I might go $2000 knowing that I'll possibly be replacing the engine and transmission in a short time.

That price is high even for my neck of the woods. With mileage like that, you should get it for way less. I'd say $1500 tops.

You could buy a lot with $3200. You could buy three good Brats around here for that much. Sounds like a nice car but really, its only worth about half that.

the ONLY way I'm paying $3200 for an unmodified brat is if somebody just scrubbed 20 years worth of cosmoline off it. Probably help if the body was gold plated or something....
