Hi Gav! Welcome,
Firstly, which model you after? Classic, bug eye, blob eye, hawk eye? STI, WRX, Type ra?
Or you totally undecided as yet?
With any subaru, check the turbo for signs of oil loss, full service history is a good thing trust me! check the clutch for bite and pedal height upon release.
Check for oil leaks on the rear diff, and any cam cover gasket leaks.
The biggest check would be make sure the engine sounds nice and quiet from a COLD START. Worn bearings are not unheard of mate!
Others will be on with more info i'm sure.
Regards
Matt

 

Can't give any real advice as only just got my first too, but hello, hope you find a good one and enjoy!

 

Well tbh id love a black STI but id settle for a blue one :P i love all subarus really beacuse of the sound and the tuneablity of them where i live back home in the uk theres quite afew of them flying about soo ive always had the intrest in them...

Thanks for all that info mate all been noted

cheers Phil mate

 

No problem mate,
Ironically, the barracks where you are is where my granddad was stationed and met my nan! Paderborn! Small world.
