Thinking of buying the 1987 Subaru GL?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1987 Subaru GL for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 1987 Subaru GL, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 17 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, seat belts and equipment. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
What the GL is like
Being a car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
Best uses
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the GL answers more than any brochure. Rent the GL first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
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.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 1987 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
One more step
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 GL from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 1987 Subaru GL for you and reply within one business day.
