heartless Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Well, we just added a new member to the family!! it is an '88 GL Coupe - not pristine, but not to bad, for this area at least. Only 130,000 miles too. $250 later we drove her home. Only thing I dont really care for on this one is the automatic tranny (which seems to be fine), but that can, and will, be changed, eventually. The drive home really tested her out too - blowing and drifting snow - pretty deep in places. I know my poor old 2 whl wagon was having a little trouble in the deepest places She has a bad spot on the back (under the license plate) and the right front fender will need to be changed out. left rear quarter has a dent, but should be able to pop that back out. Then it is just the usual stuff - fix the oil leaks, new timing belts, etc. Interior is in decent shape, all the glass is in good shape overall pretty decent score. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/heartless500/Subie%20Coupe/coupe006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/heartless500/Subie%20Coupe/coupe004.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/heartless500/Subie%20Coupe/coupe003.jpg ps: this makes #6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Looks good for a car in our neck of the woods. Don't you just love road salt?!? Got that blowing/drifting white stuff here too. Maybe 3-4" over night, more today, still coming down now mostly Lake effect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Romero Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Nice score, but I hate rust, and am glad I live in Texas. ./steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Just wish we could find the ones like that little red wagon that was picked up for $100! ones like that just dont exist around here. Too much salt. my dream Subaru - a wagon with the dual range 5 spd with nice clean, rust free body and low miles. you know, the one the little old lady drove to church once a week! LOL Tom - saw a couple of cars in the ditch on the way home with the coupe - it was getting pretty bad out in the boonies - but even the main roads were starting to get nasty - and not a plow in sight! And yet they were complaining recently that it has been too mild and they hadnt used enough salt/sand and wont get as much money for the stuff for next winter!! These cars never cease to amaze me in crappy winter conditions. even my 2 whl dr does very well in the stuff - as long as i can go forward, i can go thru darn near anything! Only time i had trouble was when it was real deep (plowing the stuff) then it wanted to wiggle a bit - but we made it thru - had to worry more about the other "idiots" going the other way crowding my lane. One came real close to hitting the other half in the coupe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
