The 1987 Subaru DL for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1987 Subaru DL for sale by us right now. Here is the 1987 Subaru DL for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the DL

Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel system and suspension; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Specs, explained

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Good uses for the DL

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

What to expect from the DL

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.

A longer test drive

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the DL first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Narrowing it down

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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.

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 1987 Subaru DL from us first.
