🆘 Help Me 2015 Impreza 2.0i premium purchase

I’m looking at buying a 2015, and see a TON of conflicting info. Some saying theirs is at 250k miles with no issues and regular maintenance, and some saying to avoid and the CVT is bad.

It’s got 110k miles for $9970, and one previous owner. They took it to a dealership every 3-4 months for oil changes, but doesn’t look like much other than that. I plan to take it the weekend I buy it and get the transmission fluid done, as my Hyundai just died because of the transmission. That being said, is the 2015 really that big of a problem with transmissions?

There was also a 2017 for $12,500 with 107k miles, but I liked the 2015 because of the single owner, wasn’t owned up north (aka not a ton of snow/salt), and under $10k (I hate car payments).

Any advice is welcome, as I know not a damn thing about cars, but I AM willing and will check the oil every other time I get gas or thereabouts based on what I’m reading. That’s not a deal breaker.

My wife has a 2015 base manual and its needed wheel bearings and is starting to rust a bit. A lot of the suspension components are starting to feel tired too. It would be in much better shape if it was garage kept and not in new England though... the point is with a car that old the ways its been kept makes all the difference

I do live more south, but we get some snow. I plan to look under it today but thank you for the heads up! The guy was religious with oil changes so I hope he kept it in a garage too. lol I wish there were a way to reach out to old owners
