Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1990 Subaru BRAT is a well-preserved, one-owner pickup with low mileage. It features a resprayed exterior, refurbished wheels, and a recently serviced engine, but the load bay shows wear from light utility use.

Condition 

7

The vehicle is described as being in fantastic condition for its age, with barely any wear on the upholstery. The exterior has been resprayed to a good standard, and the wheels have been refurbished. However, the load bay has been purposefully left unrestored and has scuffs and scrapes. Recent maintenance and service history are documented.
