Anything widespread that has a chance to affect you (i.e. Porsche IMS Failure) that the factory should honorably covered will likely have the OEM stepping up to replace it, this $1.2 thousand dollars is for the odd fluke that there's a lurking failure waiting to happen, on a product Toyota has placed their name on. And despite the shit Subaru gets, they aren't exactly a disaster manufacturer.

If you decide to buy, read the fine print, it may cover less than you think and written word takes precedence over what the salesman bullshits, something like the door seal may be excluded as a wear item.
I like the way you think.
