The 1985 Subaru DL: before you buy

No 1985 Subaru DL is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 1985 Subaru DL before buying one.

What to check on the DL

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

The numbers in plain words

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

Living with the DL

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.

Who rents the DL

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A longer test drive

Rent the DL for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the DL tells you more than any review. Drive the DL on your commute before you commit to it.

The cost of driving it

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

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Still deciding?

Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.

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 1985 Subaru DL from us first.
