Ask lots of questions
Look for mods done
Look for aftermarket tuning
Get a compression test
Take to a subaru specialist to have a thorough once over, or do it yourself, if your capable

The car seems legit and it seem the dealer actually knows what he is talking about. He is willing to allow you to take it to your mechanic to have an inspection. If that is the case, I would take advantage of the offer. Please have a compression test done before you buy as Spamby suggests. I would not be afraid of buying a car that has mods as long as it has a tune and the mods are done right. This one doesn't seem bad at all and looks hot. The dealer suggests that it comes with the AccessPort V3. Make sure when you buy it, that it is included. I would not buy the car without it.

When you do buy it I suggest you learn how to log data and then post it here for use to look at. We can help you with just about any question you might have.

Good Luck!!! :tup:
