Funny thing about the Baja: Now that Subaru has stopped building them, Subaru dealers are getting tons of requests for a new version. I've heard this from every dealer I've spoken to about getting possibly a new Baja; and because of this, used Bajas are getting top dollar. Go figure...

Well, supply was so low. So any demand at all is high demand.

I'd be curious to see what my 05 LGT Wagon 5MT brings in when it's time to sell it. Hopefully it will retain some good value.

Subaru Needs to Make a good little Truck! by marci357

I want a small pickup truck and I want it to be a Subaru! I've been telling Subaru that for many many years! I like the Baja, but not enough truck bed space in it. My Forester, 8 yrs old 112,000 miles is being used as a truck, because with the rear seats down, I can get something 6 ft long in there. My poor little car has hauled a LOT of firewood! But it sure makes it dirty quickly. In the past I've had a 60-something model wagon and a 1978 wagon....now the 2001. They seem to run almost forever.... rust out here on the coast it my biggest problem with them!
 
So Subaru, if you are listening....Make a Good Little Truck with over 25 MPG! and a decent sized hauling space!!!! And 4 doors would be nice for the grandkids

How 'bout a new Forester and a small utility trailer? Best of both worlds?

Nope. Don't want to have to go back home for the trailer when I find some great deal or something that I just have to haul I have a 74 Datsun pickup for close in trips when I know I'll need it, but I would not venture further than the dump (2 miles) in it. It's really old! I'd like to replace both rigs (pickup and forester) with just one rig that would haul anything and also have room for a couple grandkids Priorities

True .. Dealers can't keep them on the lot ... As soon as one shows up it's sold .. Everyone give me complements on my Baja ... I think it was a car that was put on the market before its time. With rising fuel costs, it's time for a new Baja Subaru should take advantage of this ...

Speaking of the Brat. Saw one still going strong in Albuquerque New Mexico earlier this month, June 2009. Was good to see one still on the road.

I own three Legacy wagons (1990, 1991 and 1993).... by loupgarous

...and really want to make one into a camper. My wife and I went on a road/car camping trip in our first Legacy and on the whole were happy, though interior space tended to go away even after we disposed of the tent which died on us after enduring 60-knot gales at the Sand Dunes National Monument overnight.
 
I've been mulling over how to make one of my Legacies into a camping machine for weeks now, saw a Baja next to me in the parking lot this morning and thought....
 
"Gee, if there was only a cab-over camper shell for the Baja, it should be possible to fair a Legacy into it with a little of the old Bondo and open up some headroom behind the front seats, maybe create some sleep-in room... "
 
My question is "is there or was there ever a cab-over or other camper shell made for the Baja or any other Subaru model?" My nasty suspicion is that I'm going to wind up putting an oil cooler for the engine, one for the transmission, and a trailer wiring harness into my project Legacy and making it ready to tow a rent-a-trailer on my next car-camping excursion, but I'd really like to make a small, green (30 mpg highway) 2-person road trip machine from one of my older Legacies. I've got plenty of gadgets like electric coolers and inflatable mattresses for camping comfort, even a collapsible shower stall and portable toilet - just need a system to put them in or around.

I think you may be the first...sounds like an interesting project, though. How are your welding skills? What about fabrication skills?
 
Good luck.
