Hi and welcome!!

Hope you enjoy your car as much as I continue to enjoy mine!!

Make sure the timing belt and idlers were replaced in the last 40k miles.

Tips -

OEM batteries tend to last about 4 years, reliably.
After much experimenting, I have found that engines of our vintage love 5W/30 Castrol GTX.
Don't pay $90 for cabin air filter replacement - it's a very easy 90 second DIY task.
I've had great success with Michelin Defenders T+H 225/55 R17 run at 32 PSI all round.

Thank you Bobby.

Thank you @ForesterCub, Yes according to car fax report timing belt job is done at 120 k mikes at subaru dealer .

Most of fixes I am doing by my self like oil, fluids , bulbs ,breaks and rotors and other small fixes. @least that was the intention when buying this car . Honestly I like the look of older 2003-04 year but could not find good rust free car in my area for the expected price. Rust is something you don't want to deal with .

Doing more reading on transmission codes which I got CEL for P0715 Torque Converter Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction , P0732 Incorrect 2nd gear ratio and P0734 Incorrect 4nd gear ratio .
