Car financing: the 1990 Subaru XT
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1990 Subaru XT for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 1990 Subaru XT for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the XT
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
The 1.8L 4-cylinder does the work, 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.
Its combined rating is 9.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 28 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14.57 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the XT
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space and size
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 283 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent the XT for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the XT on your commute, then decide.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
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. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Still deciding?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
