So there’s three options:
warranted fix
diy fix
pay mechanics labour for fix with supplied parts no warranty.
When the dollars run out, hopefully there’s some sense left over.

As for Subies, they’re generally great cars and very reliable: if the owner is considerate of wear and tear and takes some responsibility for basic diagnostics and upkeep.
Waiting for the car to tell you it’s not well, eg throwing CELs etc, I can’t recommend doing that with a few obvious exceptions.
Due to the huge user base and open source-ness of these cars, there’s few reasons to wind up needing big dollar fixes, if precautions are taken, eg taking note of common issues, doing logging and learning views.
P1701 is an exception, but luckily there’s a diy fix for that.
