That's why I buy Hondas, because they don't need maintenance beyond oil changes for the most part. The stuff I mentioned above was parents cars and minor wreck fixes for me(not my fault).

So, we're looking at a $200-$300 or more spark plug change. Thankfully it should only have to be done once, but having it done correctly is my major worry.
Find a good local independent Subaru shop and I bet you will not be paying the dealer's price of $400+.

For instance we change plugs on most subies right now for about $135, on the BRZ since the motor is sunk a bit deeper, we'll probably have to figure out how to do it a different way but in the end it will likely not be a crazy price to do it.
