Can't say I have has any dealings with the company mate but if you look at the top of this section there is a 1st Subaru Buying Guide put together by the wise Gambit :).... Give it a read and write the points down to do a check yourself. Main thing as with any car I suppose is service history! Subarus have to be serviced more often than other cars and i would be wary of one that has missed the 5 or 7k markers for oil etc as it shows it was owned by a tight **** ;) and who knows what else could be dodgy....
