If you got a good mechanic which can fix Subaru then good to go. Before that, get your mechanic to go check on the car before purchase as recon cars also can be unlucky for some.

Personally i would rather direct get STi version.

WRX seem stuck in middle, unless getting the latest WRX Wagon (Aka Levorg) that will be more special in term of body design.

Get the 1 which is not modded or still in original form.
Original Sti is still easy to drive for majority of people unless you only know to drive Automatic only.
The previous Levorg also got 2.0T engine option which is the same as WRX, if you want worth the money pay better to get the Levorg than the WRX sedan.

That why is important to get a good mechanic with Subaru knowledge.
If not, a lot of half-bake mechanic will just chop the owner or intro a lot of stupid mods to earn from it.

SC anytime also can accept recon, just charge you SC premium price without official warranty. (Same as Toyota SC, they also accept a lot of those recon Estima/Alphad to their service center also)
In the end, outside Subaru specialist is still more better in term of overall cost & advice if knew.

You should try asking people in related fb group or search in google.
A lot of time in fb group can find the answer or mechanic recommendation.
