I may be looking to buy a used subaru next month. It'll probably be ~'99-04 and my budget is $10k. Most of my options have between 75-100,000 miles. What sort of things should be happening at this point as far as maintenance goes? Anything I should look out for? Whatever I buy will have a manual trans and possibly a turbo.

And adding on to this question, how many KM on an Impreza/Forester would be too much to consider buying it at all? Though I know Subarus are generally reliable, I really doubt they're up to Lexus levels (where I'd consider buying a 20 year old with 200k km on it just because it's probably got 300k left). I would only intend on daily driving it for about 3 years, when I hope to be earning enough for a new car.

For example, today I'll be taking a look at an 03 WRX with 153k km (95k miles) on it. Dealer wants $11k CDN, and it's one of two WRXes in my area in my price range (the other is an 02 with 118k miles for $9.8k).

Of course I could take a step down to the TS/RSes but I really wanted the turbo.
