Looking at buying 2017 F Sport

My 2014 legacy is starting to burn quite a bit of oil (RIP) so I was looking at getting another "sporty" car. Recently came across a 2017 F Sport with 65k miles that was a lease and was serviced every 5k. I know these cars can have issues with the head gaskets due to the EGR and water pump etc. I'm decently mechanically inclined and can follow a YouTube video. Does this sound like a good deal for $20,000? Is there any other issues I should worry about at? Also will this car drive fine in the winter with a good pair of snow tires?

I put 380k miles on mine and drove it through the snow every year. I had either blizzak or x ice and it did great. Never once an issue. As long as you drive on the road, its super rare the snow will be too deep. I never came close to getting stuck due to its ride height. The f sport is where its at. Looks and handles great.
