You might be one of the unlucky ones with burn exhaust valves. This happens when it runs lean for too long. This seems to occasionally happen. Do a search here and at legacygt.com and you'll see a few instances. The fix is expensive, but if you're lucky maybe just a valve adjustment.
The rest of it is common wear. You'll have a hard time selling the car. Maybe go straight to a dealer and trade it in for a 6 cylinder if you aren't a 'turbo' type person but want the more responsive car. But if you like the turbo, then get it fixes.
The car listed at 32k new for the limited. Over the 7 years you've had it, that's 4.5k/year. If the repair is less than that, and it lasts more than a year, you are saving money, assuming you replace it with a similar car. That's how I look at it. More people don't count money like that though. They just like the 'feel' of the new car.
