Auto loans: the 1983 Subaru GL
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1983 Subaru GL for sale by us right now. 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 1983 Subaru GL before buying one.
What to check on the GL
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 1 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. Owners filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, most often about seat belts, engine and engine cooling and structure; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Space and size
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Try before you buy
A test week in the GL tells you more than any review. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the GL answers the big questions.
Running costs
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.
Which one to look for
Within the 1983 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
