Always get a pre-purchase inspection by a Subaru specialist, focusing on the engine (head gaskets) and transmission.
Check for rust thoroughly, especially on the subframe, rocker panels, and wheel arches.
Inquire about the history of head gasket replacement for 2.5L models; if not done, factor in the cost.
Test the AWD system by driving on loose gravel or a slippery surface if possible.
Verify transmission fluid change history; neglected automatics are a significant risk.
Pay attention to any unusual engine noises, especially ticking, which could indicate valve issues or timing belt wear.
