Just so I understand - you're saying get a used CVT, have someone go into it and look for common faults and repair as needed before installing. Right?

Interesting option - I might raise that with the shop that would install a used unit. My thought now, though, would be to try to narrow the gap between a used and a factory reman and the used CVT. The concerns that I have with the approach you are suggesting would be that it would add to the cost of a used unit and also could create warranty issues. Who would offer a warranty on the CVT - the original parts seller or the person who checks and repairs it? But this approach does address the worries I'd have with a used unit.

Depends what you are going to do afterwards.  From a quick readaround, it seems
Subara has dropped the ball with its CVT and faults are pretty much guaranteed.
  Mostly, they are minor but require major surgery for rectification.  A cheap
replacement allows you to go inside and check, fix or pre-emptively deal with
those and you can then install and wave bye-bye.  Which is what I would be
doing.
