You know, the turbo! It goes bad at 60k on Subarus.

Their valve covers go bad at 53,496K
Their fan motors go bad at 37,963k
Their passenger side mirrors stop reflecting objects to the rear at 72,634k
Their mufflers start flowing backwards at 84,302k
Their steering wheels only turn 15 degrees after 45,928k
Their radios only play talk radio stations after 26,748k

.....do I need to go on? or do you have enough info to buy a clue?

In your list, you forgot, rod bearings go bad at 63k...At least that was my experience... And I'll be surprised if the turbo makes it much more...

What the heck are you doing to that thing? Of all 5 Scooby's I've never had an internal engine or turbo problem. And all of them (except the newest Legacy) have/had well over 60k on them, 81k, 97k, 135k & 147k.

Hahahaha thats too funny

If you put Discount auto parts branfd oil in your car every 6,000 miles you will probably seize your turbo. Although your engine will probably go first.

Is the car listed for 12.5k? I'd offer them 11k and go from there.
