The 1986 Subaru Wagon: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1986 Subaru Wagon for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 1986 Subaru Wagon, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Wagon
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The engine is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 9.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 28 litres of fuel. For 1,000 km, budget about $145.70 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Wagon
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Practical details
It is the kind of vehicle that makes a family trip calmer. Its 991 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Wagon for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 1986 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. 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.
