Hey Scotty, I appreciate your youtube channel immensely. I am an amateur but not so amateur DIY mechanic in Seattle, WA.

I have 2 cars that are currently down both 2012's. Looking to get a 3rd car to help my small family mitigate the unluckiness of having 2 cars down at the same time. Below are the current cars and a few details regarding current status.

Anyways, what used cars would you suggest I look at? Based on your channel and my experience I am pretty set on a Toyota, Honda, or Subaru. Manual transmission only. 4WD or AWD preferred, open to FWD. 

Current Vehicles:

Kia sorento 2.4l gdi automatic- 143k mi 

Subaru legacy 2.5i premium manual- 192k mi

Kia is getting a new exhaust manifold, down stream 02, and secondary cat.

Subaru has a camshaft seal leak and potentially a valve cover gasket leak. So going to do the timing belt as well.

Subaru is having noticeable oil leak onto exhaust creating burning smell and smoke. Do you think a bottle of seal fixx would help this in the short term?

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.
