Thinking of buying the 1987 Subaru XT?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1987 Subaru XT for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 1987 Subaru XT, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Before you sign for the XT
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
The 1.8L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 28 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.4 L/100 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $43.71 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 283 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A good match for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the XT for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the XT answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Let us know
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
