Advice needed: 2006 WRX Wagon Limited

Hello everyone,

First - thanks to everyone who posted sage advice on what to look at when buying a WRX. I've been looking at a 2006 WRX Wagon Limited that drives smoothly (I tried a couple of the tricks posted on the top post) and looks cosmetically good. I'm most interested in a stock car and I don't plan on doing any more mods to it for now. Based on many people's advice I'm a little weary of a couple of mods the first (and only) owner made.

The owner was very honest, clear, and provided a good reason for selling, so I'm not worried about that part. He did make a couple of mods and I wanted to get everyone's opinion on if there are any red flags here.

Mods are:
- 3.0" diameter COBB exhaust pipe (post exhaust system)
- Replaced turbo intake filter
- Hooked up a COBB meter that allows you to change the profile of the engine (sorry, I don't know what the name of it is)
- New stiffer suspension springs (20% stiffer) - I don't remember the model/brand

Does anything seem out of place? What else should I ask about or check if/when I proceed and have someone look at it?

Dealer-installed parts:

So the owner also said that the "Limited" package (moonroof, leather seats) was installed by the dealer, it was NOT factory-installed. I was a little weary of this. He said that there was such a long list for the Limited that the dealer offered to install on site and he took that.

What are your views on a dealer installed moonroof? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Many thanks for all of your advice. I hope I can upgrade from wrxshopper -> owner....
