Thinking of getting a 10 year old Forester… good idea or not

I’d buy my 2006 Forester again in a heartbeat. Trying to convince my son to take it as his first car, just to see how long it’ll last. First 200k miles were easy… no doubt it’ll hit 300k.

I’ve got a 2015 with a CVT. If the valve body hasn’t been replaced yet, it’ll probably need it soon. Mine failed at 115k miles but was covered under warranty. Now at 180k, and it’s burning a little oil. Gonna replace the PCV valve and see if that helps. If not, I’ll just keep adding oil till the thing dies.
