Am going to buy a 2000 Impreza with 2.2L and 5 spd...

 

70,000 miles...

 

Any issues to watch out for?

Be on the lookout for collision damage that's conveniently not in the carfax report.

 

Wheelbearings, clutch, rancid-smelling exhaust, bouncy struts, "curbed wheels", brake pedal travel, leaks, rattles, & sqeaks, blood in the interior ...the overall vibe.

 

**** ******!

Wheel bearings and oil leaks would be the Subaru-specific stuff, other than that, just evidence of regular upkeep...

thanks for feedback
