So last week we went by the Subaru dealership and ended up putting some money down on a car that they had in stock at a different location, on the condition we could still reject it after it arrived and we had a test drive.
We had the test drive today, and everything was great, except that when we went to switch drivers, we smelled something burning. So we checked the oil, and it had way too MUCH. Some must've been spilling out onto the engine block, or something.
What can that do to a car? I'm not exactly sure, but now we are going to have an independent mechanic check it out before we buy. Bummer.

Precisely the right path in my opinion. I'd also want an assurance from the dealership that this wouldn't cause any warranty problems down the road.
Too much oil can cause leaks and internal damage because the oil pressure can exceed spec.
