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. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 1987 Subaru XT, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the XT
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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
The 1.8L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 9.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 28 litres. Every 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the XT
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Inside and out
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 283 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the XT on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the XT first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 XT from us first.
