So let me get this straight, on a 15 year old car with average miles, when the CV boots, fuel pump, motor mounts, coil packs and wheel bearings all fail, it is the current or past owner's fault, even though each and every one of the parts mentioned will fail on any car, no matter how well it is maintained, let alone the fact that Subarus are garbage to begin with.

The last comment was harsh... just because Subaru and Honda are the top two manufacturers, doesn't mean everything. It doesn't mean they are all excellent. This car proves this point. If they are all fantastic, this owner shouldn't have had to worry too much about the history of the car.
The worse car I have ever brought was a Subaru Legacy with FULL service history and 1 owner. Very unreliable, and not really good at anything other than drinking fuel.
However, the best car I have brought was a 5 owner Volvo S60 with NO service history, This hasn't missed a beat and is fantastic. However, I now expect a load of comments saying how the Japanese cars are best and the Volvo is rubbish. Afraid not, chaps - I know better, and my car proves it!
