2013 subaru outback help?

Hello all! Test drove a 2013 Subaru Outback with 146,164 miles and a price of $5,895 yesterday. Visually, the car looks pretty good. No damage to the exterior or interior, back up camera, sun roof, heated seats…felt great. One problem though, when breaking, it felt like the steering wheel vibrated and that you really had to push down on the break to get the car to stop. Mentioned this to the salesman and he said the car probably needs new breaks in the front and he would get those replaced with no cost. Supposed to go back and test drive the car again in a few days.

I have heard a lot about 2013 Outbacks and I really do not know much when it comes to cars, so I wanted to hear from you all. I also noticed rust on the muffler part of the car. This was the only rust I noticed. I attached a photo.

I saw the CarFax and the first owner had the car for 12yrs and did very regular maintenance. The second person owned it for 3mo because he said the underbody shield (I think, I honestly cannot remember at the moment) was rusted out and the dealership replaced it. I guess this 3mo owner often buys cars from the dealership for his mobile pharmacy business, so I didn’t think it was too odd to only own it for 3mo.

Just kind of in the dark here. Seems like a great car for the price, but I am worried about if the new breaks will fix the problem. I didn’t buy the car yet, just looking for direction. Questions to ask? Red flags? Anything??

EDIT: breaks, calipers, and slide pins replaced. Will be back to see it and test drive again in a few days. Going to get pre purchase inspection

Bralette search

Hey all! Looking for a comfortable bralette, but not having much luck! I am a 38H and despite my large chest, I enjoy wearing bralettes that provide some lift and mild support, you know, enough to not be sagging lol! My struggle is finding a bralettes that go over the shoulders (not racerback style) and also don’t cut so low on the arm holes to where I am spilling out the side. I hate the feeling of my chest being “strapped in” too tight and would just like something that gives enough lift and support to make for a good everyday bra. No underwire please and preferably no padding. Looking for more sports bra-esque and less lacy traditional bralette. Thanks!
