I am not sure about the later cars but the trannies do die on the SVX around 50-90k miles. It depends on how hard the car was driven. The car is great but it does cost money to maintain the car. It's not like a civic where parts are lined up at the junk yard either. So If you are getting a SVX, I'd look into the history of the car from the owner -- records are important here!
Also call up 1800-subaru3 to check if there were any major repairs done on the car -- you will need the VIN number.
Good Luck
