Can't tell if this is a good deal or not.

1987 Subaru XT Turbo AWD for $3,800. Only 80,000 miles and one owner. The interior is disgusting though, and it's automatic.

Keep in mind, I DO NOT WANT TO BUY THIS.

Sorry, but it is a good deal. I'd try to talk him down a bit more just because why not, but manual swaps aren't hard on these. Subarus are a bit like legos.

EDIT - at work, so can't craigslist. I see the interior pics now. No way it's worth $3800, but if you can get him under two, it should be pretty great as a cheap rally car.

A shitty interior is always a no-no for me. It's a major put-off as it's the part of the car that's hardest to fix, especially if it smells!

crack pipe all day. There is fucking mold on the drivers seat, and it is an automatic. Maybe in top shape it is worth 3800, not with south of the border stickers under the hood

I'd have a hard time paying that much for an XT, regardless of how rare they might be. I think $2,500 might be more in line, particularly given that interior.

Looks like there is more than just mold in the interior. But, Haha I didn't notice the South Of The Border sticker there.

That thing would need to be fireblasted though, no quantity of Febreeze is set to complete the task of cleaning the interior.

Talk down to three grand, strip and cage the interior, A/T tires. BOOM, fantastic my-first-rallycar.

I dont know I have cleaned some nasty as hell ones. My 73 wagoneer sat in the woods and it came back just fine with ALOT of work (I wish I had a before pic)

True, But it looks like it possibly would be sorta crusty. I'm eyeing the back seat cushion especially. I'd say maybe a steam cleaner and a pressure washer with a shitload of commercial grade disinfectant would maybe sort it out a little bit.

I also just noticed that is looks like it possibly is missing some stuff around the dashboard.

I refuse to accept any reasonable explanation as to why the rear seat is brown. I am suitably grossed out.

that and the checkered seat pattern looks worn through in spots. Ugh I can almost smell it from here

It appears as if somebody might have partaken in some explosive diarrhea back there.

If you stare at it enough, the overwhelming stench comes wafting through the screen.

I'd say having them reupholstered in the same fabric used in the 2015 WRX.

The automatic reduces the value. And it's not in good enough condition to be worth that much.

To me, this looks like it's worth $2000 max.

It was probably the owner's dog.

Do you have any more pictures of your Wagoneer?

I just picked up a 79 about a month ago.

Very nice.

Mine is a 2 BBL. Triple Brown.

I'll get some pictures of it when I finish changing the diff and case fluid.

It is currently in about a million pieces in my driveway because I've been bedridden by the flu.
