I just bought a 2006 Baja Turbo 5-speed. What should I fix first?
Post Body

Hi there Baja and Subaru fans. I just picked up a 2006 Turbo with 98k miles in Arizona (Iā€™m here visiting family) and need to drive it home to Washington state.

I popped into a AAA repair shop for a pre-purchase inspection and, while they did not drive it, they spotted a few things they* say I should fix before hitting the road:

-Drive belts worn -Coolant hoses appear to be original -CV joint boot torn, leaking -Oil filter housing appears to be leaking oil -Rear differential leak -Original struts

So, what do you all think I should take care of immediately?

Should I pay the $1200 to replace the timing belt and water pump now or ask to have it inspected first?

Thank you!
