How much power does it put down? I'd look for receipts and services in case. The tranny is the weak link when you start making some decent power from what I've heard.

I have owned 2 subaru's before and I was always afraid to blow my engine. Well I built my last 08 sti engine and that blew up horror story. Still haunts me until today that I have dumped so much money and it just let lose. Anyways I have the EVO and it is definitely one of the best handling and stock power cars I have owned.

honestly, find yourself a car with as little owners as possible, and one that has no mod's. High mileage cars are sometimes the best to buy, specially if the owner had a good distance to work on an open road.

buying cars that had an engine rebuild to early may turn into a nightmare since other parts are probably abused aswell

A good number of my friends have blown the motors in their wrx's without crazy mods. I don't trust those cars much. I'd stay away.
