I didnt purchase an 07 because of this. Told him there's a shimmy during my test drive (55 plus), probably from uneven pressure or unbalanced tire. He had the shop fix it, but after 2 consecutive tests, still there. Ended up getting it at another dealer.
My outback had shimmy issues after a rotation and align that took 3 different shops to rebalance. Balancing shops have been quite sloppy lately and if they dont do it correctly, it is really apparent on the Subarus. I'd certainly bring it back to the shop/dealer. Should it still be an issue (assuming a correct balance) I would head to the dealer for an alignment check. With your miles, surely you are covered.
Another to check is the torque on the lugs. I always specify to make sure that they are hand torqued to the proper specs. When I am feeling particular, I will re-torque them again in 50 miles to make sure of proper seating.
