"pedal on the right"
Default WTB: super cheap subaru

Looking to buy a cheap subaru (prefered Impreza) I'de love to find a 2.2L but would settle for a 1.8L . AWD + manual is a must . running is a bonus . i found one 93 impreza 1.8L in reno (ad says clutch is shot/ gone) they are asking $500. something like that for a project subaru beater car.

Cheap and Subaru are rarely in the same sentence.

Que?! I'm pretty sure those people that bought a GL Wagon in 1986 that *still* haven't had to spend any big dollars keeping it running are willing to use "cheap" and "Subaru" in the same sentence.

Plus there was Subaru's own ad campaign: "Inexpensive, and built to stay that way."



Not "cheap" verbatim, but it's basically the same thing. With the exception of the SVX, it's only in the last 5 years or so that Subaru has been really pushing towards the expensive end of the market.

Finding a $500 Subaru that doen't need quite a bit of work, is well.......near impossible. Finding a "cheap" subaru that is less than 10 years old, again that has fair miles (under 200k) and still runs well (i.e. not needing something major worked on or replaced) for under $1000 will difficult to say the least.

Now I know that the next move would be to search and find an example to prove me wrong. So who's first?

It's all relative. Subarus can be found cheap relative to other manufacturers. All depends on the market. There are a few older subies in Truckee for sale. I'll try and stop to see what they are asking.

yeah I saw that a while ago. I probably would have jumped on it, but all my spare cash is going to pay for my dad's truck right now.
