The Colonel Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 And I extend the greeting with the broadest definition... First I am not a Colonel, although I am a veteran... he was a role model during my youth, taught me to fish and smoke cigars, he is no longer around but I still have a great deal of respect for him .. hence The Colonel...and at the moment I do not own a Subie.. driving a Suzuki. However, I developed a fondness for the Loyale during the early 90s and at this point am looking for an unmolested 93ish wagon... Looking forward to exchanges with the group and more posts on this forum. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Welcome to the USMB Colonel. If you want a pristine Loyale, look on the West Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yeah, the west coast is your best bet, although, a few clean ones pop up on craigslist around the mid-west/east coast time to time. Good luck and happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Welcome aboard! I live in New England as well, you will not find a good one around here (unless it has started it's life some where other than here) Most of them have rusted away into nothing. Best to look out west, next year I plan on going out west for a good early 80's wagon and make a road trip out of it, but I'm the adventurous type Good luck on your search, you have found the right place to start!

moosens Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yeah , more than likely even an authentic "old lady" low mileage Loyale up here is going to be spotty underside. Pay the $900 - or so for shipping and get one from eastern WA , northern ID , or western MT and it'll be plenty worth using. There's some buy/sell/trade paper/internet site I can't remember but its great for finding cars to bring back east because you'll be dealing with private owners. We've gotten a few among us here in CT and around NE. Every once in a while there's that exception to the rule. Notice my '78 wagon - always right here local to me. Properly rustproofed with Zeibart. I got lucky ! Beware Rusty Jones of the 80's and early 90's. Good luck. Enjoy the board. Still locals with parts and parts cars for you - "ctsuba" is THE MAN !! He's in eastern CT.

bheinen74 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 costs have gone up on shipping over the last year or 2. CA to IA went from 910 in about 2006 CA to IA went to 1086 in Jan 2011 CA to IA in Sept 2011 - now it costs 1,192 from CA. I am certain going from WA to the East coast is even more.

The Colonel Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks All... I had noticed the void of early Subarus here on the east coast.. seemed to happen rather quickly... or maybe it was just my attention span ... But I appreciate the heads up ... have to figure out if a road trip could be possible.. until then I'll keep my eyes open for a chance meeting.
