Leaking oil, radiator, wheel bearings.
Totally awesome cars!!! I have owned two 1988 Subaru Gl-10's. I had such great luck with the first one I bought another one. The only reason i got rid of the first one is that it wouldn't pass inspection for where we were living. It simply would cost too much to get through inspection and it had over 200,000 miles on it. I donated the first one and found another one with only 72,000 miles on it. I just drove it 1500 miles and it performed perfectly. It now has almost 93,000 miles on it. I left my first car in the steamboat springs airport parking lot for over a year, When I got back to colorado, I jump started it and drove it over 1000 miles through the night. That's just one example of how loyal these cars are. I've been through several feet of snow, through deep mud, through nebraska in the middle of the night, down to key west florida, all across the country, in extreme cold and heat, I've slept in it during a pinch, and it has faithfully moved me and all my worldly possesions several times. Great Car. I can't say enough great things about it.
I just bought a 1988 gl10 turbo wagon with only 44,000 original miles on it. What a steal at 3200.00 this thing is almost brand new. everything works even the sliding sunroof, the only bad thing is a slight oil leak that is being fixed for free by the mechanic that sold it to me and all they work on is Subaru's. I waited to find a good deal and it paid off, this will be around for a long time to come.
