There isn ' t really a secret to it , have the oil aged , have compression checked and honestly ? Take it to a reputable Subaru tuner that doesn ' t know the seller and pay to have it checked . If you wanna make sure he doesn ' t know them , ask him if you can take it to his shop and pay for an inspection . When he names his shop , go to their competitor . Yeah you ' re gonna drop $ 75 $ 100 for the inspection and if it doesn ' t check out you lose the money but you know what ? You ' re gonna drop $ 28 , 000 at minimum for a 14 ' STI . A few hundred to find the best one is a drop in the bucket . <| sep |> Nothing in particular . Have you ever had a night where you couldn ' t sleep and then you think about sad things and cry until you fall asleep ? Then wake up the next morning and it ' s over and you go about your business like usual .
