Too me it's a no-brainer. I'd fix it.

It's mechanicals are a known quantity. If you buy something else used there are a lot of unknowns.

Subaru's also have a reputation for lasting a long, long time.

The cost to fix it is less than its value.

It has a good utility value being AWD and also being a wagon.
