I bought an 83 wagon new for 9600$ and those were definatly bullit proof, it had steel wheels, high/low range, more 4x4 like than most all-wheel drives today
The radio sucked [HTML_REMOVED] it could have used a 5th gear but in 14 yrs 285K only engine prob was it kacked a water pump which took 15min with a 10mm to replace, sold it for 650$ to a guy who came to get it with a 6 pack … buddy was going 4x4-ing
Aldergrove auto wrecking was the place to buy subaru parts
