1988 Subaru RX

Default I just got a mint 88 RX turbo 4wd!!!

Well, i think i just struck a pretty damn good find. I just picked up a sweet little Subaru RX turbo (1988) . I was online last night just browsing around, and this thing popped up on autotrader. I called the guy and wanted to see it asap.. I did a little reseach online (couldnt find much info at all), and i guess these are pretty rare. Its the only one for sale like it (rx) on all of autotrader and all of ebay. Ive never even seen one before, i didnt even know *** it was, lol!

All i knew it is that it was in awsome shape, and it was rare as hell> I went on this forum and it seems its pretty sought-after, and its highly regarded in subarus rally history. Maybe its what the wrx came out of? I dont know...

So i go to see it and its about as mint as a 1988 car is gona get, the interior is unbelievable. Outside looks great too, no accidents and good original paint! With the factory bodykit pakage or what ever, and two cool foglights on the front. 2 owners its whole life, very well taken care of.

Anyway, so i buy it and cruise on home. THis thing is pretty fun so far. i havnt beat on it at all, i got on it on a dirt road once so far, and that was kinda fun... .

I just cant believe the condition of this car. The indide is in amazing condition, and the outside looks awsome for being an 88. I cant wait to give it a nice wax job, and stip off the nasty tint thats on it. The white paint is going to come out very well.

If anyone knows any more information about this car, let me know!! Thanks! Oh and also, if anyones interested, im open to offers. I really want to keep it, but maybe there is someone out there that is more into these things than i am, and would love a find like this.

Here are pics of my car:

Edit...damn i need 10 posts.

Wow nice. I think its missing its red (or blue) trim tape from the grey side moldings. Or something like that, looks TOO clean. so I know something has been removed.

I'm not gonna give him any negative points for posting like that, he started the thread and it was just to post pics. If it was in someone elses thread maybe I'd step in and delete the extra ones.
