    If properly maintained, there would be no issues. The WRX and XT uses the same engine and tranny with differences in tuning only.

    If the car is regularly used, the previous owner may have changed the CVT fluid, front suspension bushings, brake pads, and tires. Unless of course, the car was sparingly used (garage queen). Check the tires for the manufacture date. You need to change tires if they are more than 5 years old already.

    CVTF change interval is every 40k km actual mileage. I bet the owner has not changed CVT fluid or brake pads.

    3. Cylinder head gasket problem. Can be very expensive.

    4. Aircon problems. Kaya pala madami naka advertised na forester aircon condensers and evaporators.

    5. Bushings and other suspension and steering parts.

    6. And bad fuel economy.

    Looking elsewhere.
    I have a forester xt. Bought it in late 2019. 25k in the odo. Wife uses it. City driving. Paved roads almost entire time except for a few usual bumps here and there. Surprised i had to change bushings and rack end.

    That soon?

    Yes, their bushings are not that good. I had to change mine twice before it reached 40k kms. Then, I switched to aftermarket bushings. Ran it for 35k kms so far. No problems so far.

    '07 WRX
    Big turbo, exhaust, tune
    68k kms

    replaced power steering pump at 40k

    major work at 50k kms/10 years old:
    replaced radiator (started leaking at the plastic end tanks), did thermostat and water pump at the same time to be safe
    also did ball joints and tie rod ends

    replaced shocks and top-mounts (fitted coil-overs) at 65k kms

    recharged a/c at 68k kms. o-rings needed replacement, but everything else (evaporator, etc) was intact.

    planning on doing timing belt and tensioner at 70k. already have the parts.
