It's the little bus! Definitely a well known car in the subaru community. That is an impressive mod list....12-14k depending on the mileage seems pretty reasonable. Just make sure to have a garage check it over if you're getting serious about buying it. Take it down to area1320, Ryan can help you check any common trouble spots to reaffirm your future purchase.
Not sure if it matters much to you but the subaru community is probably one of the best parts about owning one. I can't believe all of the super cool non ricerific car enthusiasts I've met through owning a subaru. Subaru car meets 99% of the time end up as really cool adventures or outing with a bunch of cool mature individuals rather then giant revving / burnout competitions you'll find in other groups.

Its a good buy tho in other regards. like it has a 6 speed swap, nice to have. If u do get this car, take it to a tuner and have it tuned more safley, from what ive seen 18gs on 2.0s usually wont see much more than 320 if tuned at a reliable level. He said 16-21 psi tho, so he probly has low and high boost maps......not exactly safe at all.

You should follow any "recommendation" by "I've never ran this setup, let alone a 2.0L, and I'm just going by posts I've read off the internet." Just to make sure everyone is on the same page.
2.0L WRX's make 320 -330whp all day everyday at 21psi, why is 350 at 24psi surprising?
Ben aka Honestbob ran a 20g that was conservatively tuned and made something in the area of 320-330whp.....he ran that setup until something like 120k miles. It all comes down to maintaining your car and not driving like a moron. He is STILL on the 2.0L and has been running a 30R on his 2.0L for a few months now on the stock motor and trans (Road tune only atm). My point being, don't let people scare you away from the 2.0L.
Random thought:
I'm wondering if he maxed out his injectors on that 350whp @ 24psi run. Those seem small for that kind of power. That or I'm going to completely overkill my 18g setup with my 830cc modded stockers haha
