The '15 is being inspected at a Subaru dealer tomorrow and having a compression test as well. Maintenance and oil changes done about every ~6,000 miles or so, one owner.

The '13 came out of a Toyota dealer and they changed tires, fixed the brakes, wheels and serviced it recently. However, there's curbing on all 4 wheels (minor to severe on some) and the front bumper has a major crack in the middle and is splitting. There's very little maintenance history but I have test driven it twice, it feels as mechanically sound as any I've driven.


I'd love to hear thoughts, suggestions, horror stories, whatever may be the case.

Thanks!

A properly maintained '15 even with 90k miles isn't even close to the end of its lifespan. I suggest waiting for the results of the dealer review and compression test before making a final decision, but I'd already be leaning heavily towards the '15. It's even a series blue!
