Personally I would be very, VERY cautious of buying one of these cars used with more then a couple of thousand miles in it. Even then I would look extremely close at the service history (if not owned by one of the "I don't trust anybody so do all my own work" crowd) and would examine every possible prior mod location for signs of change.
How many times do we see on this forum alone "had enough of this piece of crap and am pulling all my mods (which sometimes were the cause of the problem in the first place) and trading for the newer shinier (insert car here, usually a 15 WRX lately though)?
Even pure stock ones can get pretty beat up and still look fine.
Not to say there are not good deals on used just need to be wary.
Pretty much all of my cars have been used (except maybe like the first 2 cars in my life). Never had any issues arise related to previous owner. That being said I don't tend to keep cars for 100k miles and I also always try to buy ones with <30k miles. However I saw a LOT of very low mile FRSs out there when I was looking.
