Some of the suby guys will chime in, but as Subaru has established a significant reputation for reliability, as long as the car has been properly maintained there shouldn't be any major issues.

Look through its carfax, if there's multiple stops at the dealership for scheduled services that's a good thing. If not... it's too hard to tell without getting it up in the air what could be wrong with it... and even then things have a tendency of surprising you with that kind of mileage...

I believe that's an aftermarket front bumper. There is a chance the front end could have been damaged in the past, may want to look for that. It also could have just been changed to change the look, never know.

Price doesn't look bad for the miles though. I'd check it out and look everything over, could be a decent deal.

With the exhaust and ricey front bumper you can be 100% sure that car has been beat to shit.

Subies are reliable, but someone might have dogged the car for most of its life so you have to be careful when jumping in to such a situation. First gen scooby trannies are weak keep that in mind when buying a modified car.

Seems like an okay price.... but I'd be wary of buying any mod'ed car w/ nearly 140k unless I knew the prev owner.... I'd be questioning the turbo, tranny, etc.....

And I'm not diggin' that body kit.....
