mschafe Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I have the opportunity to get an XT6 for $800. Has some rust, partially cracked windshield, but the guy said it runs/drives well. What's the specs on that engine, and is this a decent deal? I really want to get back into Subaru's after selling my GL.

Tcat55371 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hey Matt, don't know much about the XT6 but I just bought an 86 XT. Just an fyi, I came across a couple of them last week at Han's junkyard in Elk River. One black, one white. So there is a parts place for ya.

mschafe Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Yeah, I know you got an XT.. that's the one I was gonna buy! LOL.. anyways, turbo's are fun, but having an H6 would be interesting, as i've never owned or driven an H6 Suby. If those ones at Han's have good windshields, then i'm pretty sure i'm going to get this one. Thanks, Matt Hey Matt, don't know much about the XT6 but I just bought an 86 XT.

Turbone Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Once you drive a 6, you'll have a hard time driving anything else. There was another post from a couple days ago about somebody buying a XT6, might look at that. Also, over at XT6.net you will find all the info you need there.

krissy00 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 If you have the opportunity to get a XT6 go for it I had 2 in the past both were 89's and they were great cars once you own a XT6 you won't want to drive another car I miss mine but now I have a 98 legacy GT not bad but it isn't a XT6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 i drove on home from wisconsin, only about 30 miles. it was for my girlfriend. after driving it, i had to have that motor for my hatchback. 30 miles and i was hooked. you'll love it. its not like being in an 80s subaru, it can go 80 uphill! its crazy! 800 isnt bad for around here. air suspension breaks, can be switched with legacy suspension(pleanty in the yards). power steering often needs new brushes,and special fluid and thats about it. radiator is almost always needed up here, and is hard to find for less than 300 bucks =/ thats about it. cool car, get spare parts, theyre hard to find around here. make sure you warm it up, and give it a good test drive. alot of them idle funny, and if you can get it to do it, it might be a good talking down point =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcat55371 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Awww, you folks are making me feel bad now First I buy a car that he was supposed to get and then you all make it sound like I got the wrong one.... (Guess I better get my motor back and in my old Dodge so I can go fast up hills. Only problem is I will be able to only afford one trip up the hill with the price of gas now. But hey, when I hit the button it will really go up a hill ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschafe Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Allright, more details on the car... Its a 2wd Auto, with non-air suspension (which is fine, as they seem to have lots of problems). I'm going to give 'er a good test drive tomorrow, and then i'll make my decision. He said $800 firm, but he also said it may need new valve cover seals if thats a huge deal or not.

Turbone Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Valve cover gaskets are no problem. Believe it or not, the 2wd are supposed to be quicker. No extra running gear to slow it down. The car better be in excellent condition for that price tho, you can get a full time 4wd for that amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
