2nd Car

Cliff R · Post by **Cliff R** » Thu Nov 03, 2011 4:24 pm

I am considering putting my 1982 MY touring wagon off the road as a daily driver so I can work on it at my leasure instead of bandaid fixes all the time.
This means I need a 2nd car as a reliable daily driver.
Thinking it is logical to stay with a Subaru and having gone soft in the last 10 years I need the following:
-dual range 4WD
-Power Steering
-Electric windows
-A/C
-able to seat 5 people (wagon)

What sort of Subarus could I expect to end up with in a $2,000 to $2,500 dollar range with these qualities or am I dreaming ?

I am in the NSW Hunter area.

You could easily find a gen1 liberty or maybe a gen2.

Thanks everyone for your comments and ideas.
Sorry for the late reply I have not been able to get anywhere near the forum or a computer since I posted the original topic.
Work and home life has been totally nuts !!
I am still looking and since I already know the L series (I used to have a 1988 wagon) I think I will "lean" towards one of these.
I did see the one one for sale out of state and it does have all I was after but would probably like to find something more local (Newcastle and thereabouts) before going out of state.
I am in no real hurry though the MY turns 30 next year so I will keep a look out.
