Car has been good 'so far', but I think I want to trade it, before any serious issues begin. Also was told, that the 'timing belt' to be replaced at this mileage.
The 'water pump' should also be replaced at the same time, since this is all connected together.
Thanks again !

That's a lot of hooeey-balony!
The leaky Subaru head gaskets were in the earlier 2005 or so, years. For a 2011 the head gasket is good-to-go, basically forever.
The timing "belt" is a timing chain and never needs replacing.
For the water pump ...... just forgetaboutit ..... no worries.
For $100 you can get Subaru road service for one year, and drive it until it breaks down, will not go, and get it trucked in to your choice repair to repair it.
Or, New World Auto on the north end of Main St in Plymouth has their own tow truck so's just phone New World ...... helloooooo!
