Talk to your local dealer. They can usually trade around to get you one if you're that interested. Some times it's just the waiting game.

So, I don't know where I would even find one, and if I did, I don't know where I would service it.

Wow, that would be difficult! They're so plentiful around here, we often see 2-3 twin cars when we're out & about! And if you go to a state like Vermont, you can't walk through a parking lot without it looking like a Subaru convention! I can see how you'd shy away from them if you don't know where to get one worked on, they are a hair different than other engines. My husband had a horrible spark plug/rachet/frame rail incident that I won't bring up again

There are plenty of decent cars to fit your style and budget. I'm not saying the 300 would be a bad choice but definitley look into some others first. I've always been in love with the is250.
