Nice scooby ripper! I'm thinking about getting rid of my 850R and getting something like that. How well do they age?

Probably not as well as a 850R.. I have looked for a clean 850R for a while now. After 200k miles, Subarus can be a ticking time bomb.

@swan3609: Well I don't mind having to swap a motor or trans. I just want the interior to stay together.
850's aren't built as well as the older 900's/700's/200's. They use a plastic that ages and get's really brittle. A whole list of things start going off as a result. The first and most noticeable is the dash. The connect to the firewall with 4 bolts and every 850 dash breaks at those bolts! Then when you remove the dash to fix it, you wind up accidentally breaking more of the brittle bits.
I fixed my wifes T5 only for it to break a plastic bit in the hvac two months later. That meant cold on one side and hot on the other. Not good when it's 5 degrees out.
850's are cool. Pure giggles. Handle well enough. Look good. But also built like crap!
