February 12, 200422 yr Nope, not a single BRAT. I don't much like the idea of having a two-seater. One of these days, maybe...but the prices on Brats are going up, not down.

February 22, 200422 yr With only 261k on an EA82 SPFI.............. Since someone a few pages back mentioned a Benz with 300k, check this car out: http://www.vcoa.org/irv_o_meter.shtml http://www.hillmanimages.com/912/081801_467.html Engine was rebuilt at 675k..................I know, it doesn't count here...............Subaru may very well be the equivalent to the Volvo in Japan and abroad..............alot cheaper to maintain also! (former Volvo owner.........they resell very high)

March 31, 200521 yr yeah, my 87 only has 160,000 on the odometer. runs great..... and i noticed it seems like the older soobs last longer. ea81 better..??? or at least longer lasting.
March 31, 200521 yr had an 81 gl wagon 4x4 with 289k, still running good when i sold it about 5 yrs ago. you hardly ever see those 81-83 wagon 4x4's anymore, i used to lead the pack of 4x4 broncos and blazers at this mud course in mine... i'd love to get another one

Farrell's in Mt.Vernon has a decent selection of parts cars. As for the gross interior, mine was disgusting when I got it too - I removed the whole interior except the dash (seats, trim, door panels, carpet, seatbelts) and vaccuumed, washed, scrubbed, bleached, you name it. Came out pretty good for how gross it was. I did end up making seat covers for the bottom parts of the front seats that some stains didn't come out, so I had to cover them (I *hate* the seat covers from stores that never fit right!) My car has 288,000 miles - replaced the engine from a car that had 220,000 miles on it. '86 GL wagon 4x4 carbed EA82 (engine came from an '85 GL Wagon 4x4 carbed EA82).
March 27, 20206 yr I have an 81 gl with only 89k miles on it so far, bought it less than 100 miles ago and I’m glad to see other people getting as many miles as they are on theirs
March 29, 20206 yr Gertie (my 1989 Omega Touring Wagon) did 445,000km on the original carbie EA82. She's now getting close to 450,000 kms. Getting up there! Edited March 29, 20206 yr by KiwiGL
March 31, 20206 yr You all brought this old thread back up. My post was on the first page and my Brat is still going, mid 240k.
