That thing has been brought up several times by potential buyers. According to several members here it has suffered major body damage and then repaired and has been thrashed by the previous owner.

Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot bargepole.

Is Serbaru's car still for sale?
Would look at it over that abomination as it has a nicely built engine in it.

There were a number of 08 STIs that were affected by engine issues, from memory it was a bad batch of bearings or ring lands and dealerships were repairing/replacing short blocks as required.
