Allentown, PA '88 wagon D/R, Take a look??

[pbrtcan]

I have been lurking for awhile as I just moved to upstate NY with my girlfriend and she has an '03 OBW. After about five minutes looking at posts I was hooked on "OG" subes. My old roomate had an '84 GL wagon that was a blast too (in Seattle).

 

Anyhow, I found on CL an '88 4wd wagon near Allentown, PA.

Outside of needing a halfshaft the guy says

"it has dual range 4wd, axle does click, has normal amount of rust for that year subaru, sorry dont have and pictures, car has 226,000. but motor has been replaced with one that now has about 125,000 on it. replaced oil pump, water pump, alternator, battery in the last year, car is driveable but axle needs to be replaced now. inspected till april of 07"

 

My interest would be to use it for light offroading and occasional day to day driving if my gf needs her car. However, it is difficult for me to get away to go look at/buy it and was hoping someone more local had the time/interest. Just to see if it's worth the drive...

 

The seller is motivated, just sent me a message saying he would take $300.

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks DS!

 

I sent him an email and will PM you the specifics when he gets back to me.

Your offer is truly appreciated. Hopefully it's not a rustbucket...
