Is this mileage too high?
Hello
As title suggests, I'm thinking about getting a wrx wagon (or a focus st, can't decide!)
I've came across following ad which is local and I'm not sure if mileage is too high or not, it is on 123k backed up with FSH but not sure on how reliable these are at this mileage.

Thanks in advance for any replies on this!
Cheers liam

If it was going to go "pop" with the common 2.5 problems surely that would of happened by now?
I saw a 07 hawk wrx wagon with PPP and 147000 miles for sale at a local dealer for 3795, sold it no problem too.

Cheers for the replays, I know nothing about scoobies (always had fords) thanks for the info. Is there much difference in Drive between 2.0 and 2.5? Also I think I like the looks of the blob eye better than the hawk eye. Is there a big difference in drive in the two models? As there is hardy anything near me to try out

Its the 2.5 sti that was more likely to suffer Ringland failure. Although all of the 2.5 engines can suffer from it, it's much rarer in the wrx models. As long as there's no oil leaks, clutch is OK and timing belt is done, engine should be fine Imo. Best of luck with it.
