Buying the 1986 Subaru GL
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1986 Subaru GL 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 buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 14 owner complaints on file, mostly about suspension, seat belts and structure.
What the specs mean
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
When the GL makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
What the GL is like
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the GL first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the GL on your commute, then decide. Rent the GL for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. 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.
Money matters
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.

Rent it for a week before you buy
