Car was recieved in decent condition. It sat outside of my house (unregistered) for around 2 months. After sitting, the car has had fuel line issues (naturally), which affected the entire system. also:
Tie rods are shot.
Alternator replaced twice.
Connection from alternator to battery terminal replaced.
Carburetor rebuilt.
All interior vinyl is cracked.
Rear hatch is broken.
Car stalls frequently and/or hesitates before acceleration.
Runs hot.
This car has been a real trip. I have taken the car's age into consideration, but as a former Toyota owner ('87 Celica), this car simply doesn't hold up.
I have only put 4000 miles on the car since I bought it, and I've put more into the thing than it's worth.
Every day I drove it, I heard a new funny noise, and I was nearly killed in an accident when my dear Subie stalled in a busy intersection.
Maybe the car held it's own in it's heyday, but now she's beyond repair.
I have a 1985 Subaru station wagon. mines just a plain jain, but the s.o.b is pretty much a pop can with interior, electrical and a so called 4cyl engine. how in the hell did Subaru survive with the cars they had back then.
I have an 85 "sube" and I love it. I have had it for 10 years and only have had to redo the clutch (7 years ago) my timing belt went 3 years ago and aside from that oil changes. Granted the muffler is loud, but hey - it's an 85!
