4WD Subaru E12 Van 1987 "Sparkles II" - $5000

Super nimble and economical 7 seater van. She'll get you to San Jose and back to Perez for less than $30! Selectable 4WD will take you up some surprisingly complex tracks, we've been thoroughly impressed by Sparkle's offroad abilities. She is currently set up as a two person camper with bedding and some handy camping supplies thrown into the sale. Drive her away like this or we can simply bolt the rear seats back in for you. The large sunroof and blackout window tinting make camping safe and comfortable. Too easy! Sparkle's previous owner maintained her wonderfully using only genuine Subaru parts, even the air filter is genuine Subaru! Body is fantastic for a car this age and the interior is remarkable. Tyres and brakes are near new and everything else runs true. Marchamo is current and Riteve passed in February with minimal fuss. She's just had a tune up and is raring to go. Sparkles II is the fourth Subaru I've owned, have always found them to be reliable, practical and fun to drive. I would not hesitate to buy Sparkles again!
