    I located a subaru wagon in NY and like to get more details and want to compile a list of what i need to ask so i can get all the important info to make a decision.

    I hate to make the decision then when i see the car its not what it is.

    I know its a risk. But I like to minimize the possibility of a problem prior to making the decision.

    oh.....definitely check for rust and corrosion....what year and how many miles? mine only saw one winter so it was fine...definitely check wheel wells for salt damage...most places don't use sand up there....

    You gotta have some fun too otherwise why get an SR20DET, but as long as you know the limits its ok. Its still running stock boost (7psi) and full catalytic converter with the factory wastegate solenoid. - Just a hint ! ;) Oh check the tire pressure - I got it on grandpa comfy

    best wishes to Josh
