zeroforhire Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hello, I have been reading the boards for a long time and am not almost ready to purchase a GL wagon. The dream is to build it up to be an off road champ. In the seattle area, these rarely seem to come up on craigslist. I am trying to find one in the $700 range... is that way out of line? Where are all the GL's in seattle area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor pole Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 they come up every once in a while. just keep a look out, seems like there are less for sale during winter time. I don't think your price is out of line but you might expect to have some minor problems with the car. I picked up my loyale for $200 it ran but needed work.

Cyfun Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Have you tried just searching the USMB Classifieds for "Seattle"? Looks like there's a few, but they come and go. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?searchid=1443328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CzarMohab Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The prices I usually see range from $200 to $2000, with a fairly strong average of $900 to $1200. This does not exclude the occasional outlying prices from as low as free (usually accompanied by words like "get it out of my yard" "no engine" and the like) to one locally here, $6599 - one owner, 50k miles. So no, your price range isn't too abstract or too far out there. Thing is, the lower the price the more likely you will find words like "blown head gasket", "ugly as sin", "rust" and/or "does not drive" in the description. May not be an issue if you are building an off road champ. 2-3 $200 wagons might have all you need, and spares for a while. Also, for Seattle area I would recommend the Little Nickle, as well as looking through the Portland area craigslist. If you are willing to go the extra mile there usually is one (of some condition, around the year (88) you are looking at) in Yakima and Tri Cities, and a couple usually in the Spokane/C.D.A. craigslists.
