Buying the 1986 Subaru DL
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1986 Subaru DL; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 1986 Subaru DL, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the DL
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the DL tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the DL answers the big questions.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Next step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1986 Subaru DL from us first.
