ycagelurabus Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Ive been keeping my eye out for any gls in the yakima area for cheap, needed something to drive around town or just have some fun with while i work on my legacy. Didn't find much, but i did run into a 92 loyale at a car lot smaller then a gas station, that had a bunch of stupid little things wrong with it and i knew the guy wasn't telling me everything, but it runs amazingly, the a/c works awkwardly well, and its only 500$. I put it through its paces for almost a 1/2 hour test drive and nothing went wrong. I think i'm about to buy it, and hopefuly build it once the legacy is done. The push button 5spd is nifty, but not what i wanted. I'll post pictures eventually, i broke my knee cap 7 weeks ago, and i'm already buying a manual lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Anything that moves under its own power is worth $500. As long as the paperwork is transferable, there's not much downside. Push buttons are fine for romping around on trails, camping, fishing, hunting etc. It will do better than my old Impreza with AWD for sure, and I took that car almost everywhere. Dual range is needed more for the off roading crowd. Car lots usually price with some negotiating room. You may be able to bring it home for $350 or $400 if you give a cash offer.

ycagelurabus Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 I know it's gonna do better then my legacys auto too, it's pretty toast from running it low on atf, and taking it up some rough trails while it was low. I swear i was spending more money on atf then gas when i was driving it to work. I'm already having a lot of fun with the loyale, i didn't realize something so slow would be so much fun! The list of stuff to fix is coming together. The passenger front e brake cable is rubbing against the cv and messed up the boot, gotta mess with that so it'll clear it when i replace it. The lot said only the oil pan is leaking, and theres something leaking on the back side of the pan so i'm hoping its pan and not rear main, cant really see in there very well. Tightened up the pan bolts a little, see if that helps. Cam seals don't look like they're leaking, but it looks like theres a little bit of metal shavings in my coolant? So ill do timing and water pump, and i'll be able to get a better look at those seals. Theirs a few things i'm confused about, on my dash theres a door lock light on, don't know how to get rid of it, and the dash always shows that the front doors are open, but at the same time the automatic seatbelts work when the doors open and close? Still gotta mess around to see if i can figure it out. It was marked at 650$ originally and when i first saw it i offered them 500$. Offered him 400$ yesterday but he wouldn't budge from my original offer. after taxes and stupid fees its a little over 700$. Worth it! I'll take some pictures with my gopro and get them uploaded.

ycagelurabus Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Just so you get the idea, i'll probably keep the 4x4 sticker for shitsngiggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ycagelurabus Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 So i drove this out of yakima county for the first time. Going down a hill doing 70 i got the death shakes coming from the steering wheel. I had it towed to subaru and they drove it with no problems and can't get it to shake. A coworker of mine said he had a similar problem and it ended up being warped rotors. Whats your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
