Default Just about to buy a WRX Wagon

Any advice on what to look for?

It's a 2003 WRX Wagon, 122k on the clock but looks in pretty good condition from the pics.

Thanks!

Rust on the front subframe/chassis, knocking engine at 2.5k revs and a good service history with regular oil changes and good quality oil used, also check when cambelt and tensioners were done last.

Appart from that all the usual stuff.

blue smoke from the exhaust on idle/boost possible turbo seals failing but its not major, a good second hand td04 can be had for £50
