I have two kids, but we have a outback for family duty, but if i ever would take the kids out in my car, it's not something i want to put my kids in danger of just because i wanted to save a couple thousand dollars.
So i'm just curious if this is something i should stay away from, or if it's worth have it taken to a independent shop or a scion/subie dealership to have the frame checked out?

At 44K I would not touch it for that price unless it was completely damage free!
4K miles maybe!
