Thinking of buying the 1986 Subaru Wagon?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1986 Subaru Wagon for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 1986 Subaru Wagon, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Engine and fuel

Its 1.8L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 28 litres, from its 9.4 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $43.71 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags. The EPA measures its luggage space at 991 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

When the Wagon makes sense

It suits groups, airport runs with luggage and family trips. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Wagon is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a trim

Within the 1986 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Let us know

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.

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 1986 Subaru Wagon from us first.
